Ao dai show lights up Hue Festival

Around 160 models performed at the “Ao Dai Festival 2010” in the central city of Hue last night, featuring 1000 ao dai designed by 17 leading fashion designers in Vietnam.
“Ao Dai Festival” is one of the key events at the Hue Festival. This year, inspired by lotus, designers made their ao dai with lotus patterns and used environmentally friendly materials. There were several different kinds of ao dai for men, women and kids.
The festival is titled “Vong Thien Nien” (Looking towards Hanoi’s 1000th anniversary), so it used music pieces and songs about Hanoi as background music.
