On the evening of October 31, at Hoa Binh Park (Hanoi), Ao Dai Fashion Show 2025 took place in a solemn and colorful atmosphere.

As one of the highlights at the Vietnam Fashion Product Brand Festival 2025, Hong Nhung's Ho Chi Minh City Heritage collection impressed with its combination of artistic elements and humanistic values.

Each Ao Dai not only demonstrates high technique and aesthetics, but also carries the story of Vietnamese women - gentle, resilient and creative.

For designer Hong Nhung, Ho Chi Minh City is not only a place to live, but also a land of emotions, a sleepless life, where the past and present intertwine through every street and light.

From those emotions, she created Ho Chi Minh City Heritage as a tribute to her homeland, recreating the ancient yet modern image of the city through each piece of Ao Dai.

The designs in the collection use a calm, luxurious color scheme as the main theme, evoking a nostalgic feeling but still exuding the sophistication of a contemporary city.

The shape is skillfully crafted, a blend of tradition and modernity, expressing the softness and grace typical of Vietnamese women.

“Heritage is not only in the past, but is living with us, in every breath of modern life,” designer Hong Nhung shared.

HCMC Heritage is not only a fashion collection but also a symphony of memories and national pride. Through each design, viewers can feel the passionate love of young people for their homeland, where cultural values ​​are continued through creativity and passion.

As a member of the Vietnam Ao Dai Culture Association, designer Hong Nhung actively participates in activities to promote, preserve and develop the value of Ao Dai in modern life.

She was a student of designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam, the teacher who inspired and guided her to pursue a fashion path associated with national culture.

Through the language of fashion, Hong Nhung sends the message: "Heritage is not only in the past, but is living with us in every breath of modern life" (Photo: Kimke).

The Ao Dai fashion show within the framework of the Vietnam Fashion Product Brand Festival 2025 attracted a large number of leaders, guests and fashion-loving public, creating an emotional space to honor the Ao Dai heritage.

Each Ao Dai is a harmony between past and present, between memory and aspiration, expressing the spirit of living beautifully and living with identity of Vietnamese women in the integration period.
