As the designer of Thanh Thuy’s evening dress, designer Le Thanh Hoa said that the Da Nang beauty winning Miss International 2024 did not surprise him. According to the designer’s assessment throughout the process of participating in the contest, the 22-year-old beauty performed well and was recognized by everyone.
“The current Thanh Thuy has improved a lot compared to when she was just crowned Miss Vietnam. However, with the criteria of Miss International, it is difficult to say anything. I and everyone in the company only support. Part of it was said in advance for fear of not being able to get through, part of it also didn’t put more pressure on Thuy. Thanh Thuy’s victory made everyone burst with happiness and pride,” he shared.
Previously, the evening dress model made by Le Thanh Hoa for Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy for her to perform in the finals faced mixed opinions from the online community. Many people even criticized and called for “rescuing Thanh Thuy” because they thought that the outfit did not flatter her figure and did not help the beauty born in 2002 stand out on stage.
According to Le Thanh Hoa, when a design is introduced to the public, receiving positive or negative feedback is inevitable. The wave of reaction from public opinion made the designer confused.
“Frustration when receiving negative feedback, a bit of self-doubt. But after all, with encouragement from Thanh Thuy and my team, I was determined to be steadfast with my creative product. However, each comment brings an opportunity to learn and grow, helping me better understand the audience’s tastes and expectations,” he confided.
Le Thanh Hoa further revealed that when the dress was caught up in controversy, it was Thanh Thuy who texted him to encourage him. “Thuy believes in that dress and feels confident and comfortable to perform at this important competition night. She is very cute and warm,” he confided.
The designer also had “kind” words when commenting on the new Miss International during their work together. According to him, Thanh Thuy is a gentle, intelligent and sensitive girl. “In many previous projects I cooperated with Thuy, she was receptive and worked very effectively. This time, Thuy was still the same, closely monitoring the progress of the evening dress. She is also professional, confident in giving opinions and listening to receive suggestions from my professional perspective”, Le Thanh Hoa said.
