The photoshoot had international models in Hoa’s silk wedding dresses amid under 2-degree weather at locations filled with tourists like Concorde Square and Opéra Garnier.
The “Thuong” collection’s 15 designs were completed by Hoa in six months. With a desire to create sustainable fashion wear by using natural and environmentally friendly materials, Hoa uses linen, Lanh My A silk, organza, satin, chiffon and mulberry silk, with modern 3D rendering techniques as well as pleating and beading.
Hoa traveled to a fabric workshop in Tan Chau Commune in southern Vietnam’s An Giang Province to order special fabrics for her new collection.
Among the group of talented international models, Hoa collaborated with the 15-year-old French-born Vietnamese model Khanh Vy for her show at Paris Fashion Week.
Khanh Vy wore a modern fishtail wedding dress design with a collar inspired by Vietnam’s traditional ao dai.
