With first runner-up of Miss Ethnic Vietnam 2007 Truong Thi May stepping out onto the catwalk, designer Minh Chau’s latest ao dai fashion show gave the unique traditional Vietnamese dress a touch of elegance.

The show was part of the “Fashion and Style” event that took place on April 5 in Ho Chi Minh city.

Centered around a blue and white color scheme, the pieces in this collection still stick to the traditional silhouette set by generations of Vietnamese.
|
 |
Many of them feature 3D printing and hand-sewing techniques.
|
 |
The patterns are evenly spread on the flaps of dress, helping enhance the models’ curves.
