HCM CITY — Fashion designer Hoàng Hải will introduce his latest collection called Thương (Love) in HCM City this weekend.  

The collection features 30 designs mostly in retro colours such as golden yellow, silver grey, black and white that are used in ceremonies. The clothes feature images of flowers and plants. 

The designs are made from Vietnamese and Italian fabrics. 

A staff of 20 seamstresses added Swarovski crystals worth US$10,000 on his clothes.

“These small rhinestones add sparkling colour and make my designs unique,” said Hải, who has more than 20 years of experience in the industry.

Hải invited top fashion models and film and music artists, including Miss Universe Việt Nam 2019 Nguyễn Khánh Vân and pop star Lệ Quyên, to wear his clothes.

After the show, five designs will be auctioned to raise money for the National Fund for Vietnamese Children and Covid-19 patients in Rome.  

Hải began his professional career in 2000, after his collections were introduced at leading fashion shows in Hà Nội and HCM City.
