Colors of the Central Highlands through the art of handmade crochet

VHO - Within the framework of the Vietnam Brocade Fashion program with the theme "Colors of the highlands" recently held in Dak Lak, designer Viet Hung introduced a new collection called "Colors of the Central Highlands". The collection made a strong impression when recreating the quintessence of the Central Highlands brocade with unique hand-crocheted wool material.

Collection "Colors of the Central Highlands" with brocade material by designer Viet Hung

Inspired by the culture and brocade colors of the Ede people, designer Viet Hung used wool to create more than 30 designs for both men and women, mostly performance costumes.

The three main colors in the collection are black, red and white, each color has its own symbol. Black represents mother earth, the foundation of life; red is the flame of passion and luck; white is light, truth and is also the color of coffee flowers typical of the Central Highlands.

“The combination of these three colors is the color of life,” designer Viet Hung shared.

The designs show the cultural exchange between the Kinh and Ede ethnic groups.

In addition to honoring the beauty of brocade through the art of handmade crochet, the designer also cleverly expresses the cultural exchange between the Kinh and Ede ethnic groups in every design line.

He said that to complete the collection, he "transformed into an Ede person" many times to better feel the spirit of each pattern and color.

Some male designs

Initially, the vedette position in the show was reserved for Miss Charm 2024 Rashmita Rasindran. However, due to unavoidable reasons, she could not participate as planned.

Replacing her was Miss Vietnam 2018 Tran Tieu Vy, the beauty who did not hesitate to accept the invitation from designer Viet Hung because of her love for the designer. Despite having little time to prepare, Tieu Vy still scored points with her professional demeanor, attractive charisma and confident steps on the catwalk.

Black, red, white are the three main colors in the collection.
