Designer Trung Dinh has just launched a collection of ao dai called "The Colors of Humanity". Accordingly, his 60 designs are made from Bao Loc silk ( Lam Dong province) combining hand-painting and ombre dyeing techniques.
Ombre dyeing is a manual color-changing and blending technique to create new materials with designer Trung Dinh's own colors.
The collection is inspired by natural wonders, famous landmarks, architectural and artistic works of countries and territories around the world such as the Eiffel Tower (France), Sydney (Australia), Statue of Liberty (USA), Venice (Italy)...
For Vietnam, Trung Dinh chose to paint the Trang An scenic complex ( Ninh Binh province).
"For famous countries, choosing famous landmarks to paint on the ao dai is very easy. But for countries and territories that are less known, I spend a lot of time researching and considering famous landmarks to choose the most typical symbol," said designer Trung Dinh.
According to the designer, he and his colleagues spent months drawing and ombre dyeing to complete the 60 designs. He chose a realistic drawing style, helping to add more life and sparkle to the famous landmarks on the ao dai.
For architectural works with religious elements, designer Trung Dinh painted them on silk scarves combined with ombre dyed ao dai.
The collection "The Colors of Humanity" was performed by beauty queens from various countries and territories within the framework of the Miss Cosmo 2024 contest taking place in Vietnam.
Designer Trung Dinh is one of the designers with a special love for Vietnamese ao dai and silk. For the past 10 years, he has been faithful to the fashion project spreading the love for ao dai and honoring the traditional silk weaving craft of Vietnam.
