The
elegant beauty of “ao dai”, Vietnam ’s traditional long dress, will be
honoured with a special performance taking place as part of the 2012 Hue
Festival.
With
the theme “Lotus in the fine arts”, the show will be a combination of
the lotus, which is on way to becoming the national flower, and the “ao
dai”, underlining their aesthetic value in the souls of Vietnamese
people.
With nearly 20 designers from the length and breadth of the country and 150 models, the 90-minute show is expected to attract a large audience.
Explaining why lotus was chosen as the major theme for the show, Minh Hanh, a leading designer, said that the lotus is very familiar to Vietnamese people, especially those who live in Hue .
It is not easy to represent the beauty of the lotus in a long dress as the flower embraces all the spiritual hallmarks and purity of the Vietnamese people. However, using their own creativeness the designers have created numerous romantic images of the lotus on “ao dai”, said the designer.
