Around 600 samples of Vietnamese ao dai designed by 18 famous designers from all over Vietnam are to be displayed at the Hue Festival of 2014.
The ao dai has become symbolic of the country and this year the annual Hue Festival will put it front stage to show off the Vietnamese ideals of grace.
This year, the theme of the festival will be reinterpretation of the ao dai in the styles of countries around the world. Roughly 100 famous models will participate on April 14 and 17, including Miss Vietnam 2010 Ngoc Han. The hope is to feature the ao dai, not only as a symbol for the nation, but also versatile enough to shine on the world stage.
