(Dan Tri) – During a business trip to Japan, Miss Ngoc Han introduced two unique ao dai collections inspired by Obi and Kim Hoang paintings.
Recently, as a fashion designer, Miss Ngoc Han brought two ao dai collections to show for overseas Vietnamese and a large number of Japanese people to enjoy.
A collection inspired by Ngoc Han’s Obi – the belt on the traditional Kimono costume with patterns and motifs representing the typical culture of the people of the cherry blossom country.
Ngoc Han said that ao dai is like a `bridge` that brings national culture beyond Vietnam’s borders and becomes closer in the eyes of foreigners.
After 6 years of returning to Japan to work, Ngoc Han took commemorative photos at some famous temples and pagodas of Fukuoka.
Red is the characteristic color tone of Kim Hoang paintings – a line of paintings formed in the second half of the 18th century from the merging of two villages, Kim Bang and Hoang Bang, later called Kim Hoang.
Kim Hoang’s paintings are a skillful combination of printing, coloring, and drawing to create flexible paintings with decisive lines.
Using familiar materials such as silk, tafta, lace…, designer Ngoc Han creates traditional dresses with waistbands or loose designs… to suit the modern pace of life and the aesthetic needs of women.
Ngoc Han also designed handbag accessories made of sedge material, handwoven specifically to match the ao dai.
In the Kimono-inspired ao dai collection, Ngoc Han revealed that she collected Obi (Kimono costume belts) during many visits to Japan and cherished making ao dai from these pieces of Obi fabric.
Obi’s brightly patterned pieces of fabric were put on the ao dai by the queen, making the outfit stand out and eye-catching.
