Vu Thao Giang shared: "Every land I have been to, every culture I have discovered, has left me with very deep emotions. I hope that through each ao dai design, the beautiful natural images and cultural treasures inspired by the tangible and intangible culture of the Northeastern provinces will be known, loved and taken pride in by more people. For me, the Vietnamese ao dai is not only a fashion symbol, but also a journey connecting history, tradition and the future."
