With over 200 models staging 18 collections of famous Vietnamese fashion designers, the event introduced its audiences to the country’s traditional cultural charms, natural wonders, and historical relic sites.

It gave insights into the connection between Ao dai and each historical period of Vietnam, as well as the bonds between the costume and special cultural features of each region across the nation.

 Vu Thi Phuong, General Director of Gami Hospitality – which runs the Hoi An Memories show and the organizer of the Ao dai festival, said the group will run a show on a Vietnamese cultural heritage every year for the conservation and promotion of such value.

Hoi An city in the central province of Quang Nam was recognized as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1999.
