This extravaganza, held as part of the Cultural Exchange Program introducing Vietnam tourism – Ho Chi Minh City, took place at the iconic Parramatta Town Hall in New South Wales, Australia. Organised by the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, the event showcased the rich cultural heritage and timeless elegance of Vietnam.
At the heart of the evening was the unveiling of the “PROSPERITY” collection by the visionary designer Tran Phuong Hoa, the founder and creative force behind Eleven S Couture. Tran Phuong Hoa mesmerized attendees with 15 exquisite traditional Áo dài designs, meticulously crafted using authentic Vietnamese materials. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant flora of Vietnam and Australia, Hoa’s collection was a celebration of natural beauty and cultural harmony.
The runway came alive as Miss World Australia – Sarah Marschke, Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 Ngoc Chau, Miss COSMO Vietnam 2023 Xuan Hanh, and a select group of professional models from Royalle Modelling Agency graced the stage in Tran Phuong Hoa’s stunning creations.
