Fashion shows will feature 300 fashion models, including top models Thanh Hằng and Hoàng Thùy, in the latest collections, with different themes about life and love, by talented designers.
The models will wear áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) designed by Thuận Việt, Trương Thanh Hải, Hà Nhật Tiến and Tuấn Trần.
Music and song performances will feature young singers and dancers from leading traditional art troupes in the region, and electronic music and light performances will also be highlighted.
