Within the framework of the Community Ao Dai Week - Summer Festival 2025 , designers Viet Hung, Lan Vy, Ngo Nhat Huy... introduced new Ao Dai collections.

The activity was organized by the Department of Culture and Sports of Hue city from June 6 to 15, in Hue city.

Variations of Hue five-panel dress

Designer Viet Hung introduces two new collections including Thuong nho ngu than and Dem lang sen. Each design is his passion and affection for the ancient capital of Hue.

The collection "Thuong nho ngu than" is inspired by the Hue five-panel ao dai. He shows his creativity by incorporating fashion elements and modern tailoring techniques to accentuate the wearer's curves.

The motifs and patterns create highlights for the ao dai

The five-panel ao dai has been modernized to honor the figure.

"The reason Viet Hung "rejuvenates" the five-panel ao dai is because he wants this ao dai to be more accepted by young people. Many young people today do not like to wear loose clothing. Hung innovates the five-panel ao dai to create a more modern design, suitable for more people's tastes" - designer Viet Hung told Tuoi Tre Online .

Thuong nho ngu than has nearly 40 designs, using exclusive materials. The highlight is the restoration of special patterns.
