Collection (BST) of ao dai named Prosperityideas made from flowers of Vietnam and Australia.
The bright yellow flower was chosen to become the national flower in 1988 because it has many special meanings. First, flowers often bloom in clusters, making people think of solidarity. When small flowers bloom next to each other, the whole flower tree becomes larger and more beautiful. In addition, the characteristic of this flower is its ability to survive persistently and resiliently. Even though it grows in low places under wide trees, this tree still shines brightly. The tree is also easy to grow, so it represents the bravery and tenacity of Australians. This flower appears in the Australian coat of arms. Ao dai symbolizing the golden wattle flower impresses with its brilliant yellow color. The body of the shirt is stylized with fabric flared sleeves. A bunch of 3D yellow flowers made of wool, fabric and stone beads covers from the shoulders to the chest, creating an impressive highlight. The ao dai uses wide, pleated fabric, reminiscent of the luxurious dresses of aristocratic ladies.
The 3D apricot flower pattern is skillfully created by skilled artisans from folded fabric and studded with stone beads. The outfit has wide flared sleeves and a layer of soft chiffon on a silk background, creating a soft and luxurious look. Apricot blossom motifs are also the symbol of spring in the warm and sunny South, including the dynamic Ho Chi Minh City.
The designs are all passionately cared for little by little through the steps of creating ideas, choosing fabrics, dyeing, hand-embroidering, attaching… to create a special collection for a meaningful art program Vietnam Tourism – Ho Chi Minh City in 2024 in Australia.
