Dep Fashion Show (DFS) will take place in Hanoi

Hanoi (VNA) -- One of the most anticipated fashion events of the year, Dep Fashion
Show (DFS), will take place in Hanoi on Oct. 30.

Entitled Dreaming, the one-night event will not simply be a fashion show, but
incorporate a large-scale performance combining different contemporary art forms,
including dancing, acrobatics, installation and visual art.

"DFS has built up its own reputation through eight previous shows, which gathered
not only talented designers, but also leading directors, artists and models," said
DFS's general director, famous choreographer Le Vu Long.

The show will showcase collections by four designers.

"With the theme of Dreaming, each designer will express their own individual
dream, thus partly presenting a ‘common dream' of the society to which they
belong," Long said.

The idea of other planets in the universe together with extra-terrestrial life
inspired Hanoi-based designer Kelly Bui's The Gioi Sieu Tuong (Surrealistic World)
collection.

Expressing femininity with silk and satin details, the collection Mo (Dreaming) by
HCM City-based designer Hoang Ngan tells the romantic love story of a girl.

The only foreign designer at the show, Juliane Kunze, will present her collection
Du Muc (Nomad). The nomadic life of the Roman people, passionate flamenco dances
and the dramatic gesticulations of matadors inspired the German designer's
creations.

Budapest-based overseas Vietnamese designer Luu Anh Tuan, who is regarded as a
phenomenon of Hungarian fashion, will also join other designers to introduce his
collection.

Graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Tuan was
awarded the ‘Young Designer of the Year' by the Hungarian Fashion Designers
Association in 2008. His creations, which are of a significant and constructive
geometric shape, have been presented in Budapest, New York, Prague, Helsinki,
Berlin, and London. His unique designs also appeared in various famous fashion
magazines, including Glamour, Marie Claire, InStyle, and Elle.

His Cau Chuyen Ke (Telling Story) collection for Dep Fashion Show is a combination
of modern western features and traditional oriental shapes. The collection
consists mainly of Asian materials such as hand-woven satin and silk velvet.

The show is expected to be a visual banquet with artists including musician Tri
Minh, choreographers Tran Thanh Nam, Do Hoang Thu Ngoc, Quach Hoang Diep, acrobat
Ngo Le Thang, and visual artist Nguyen The Hung.

Around 60 models will take the stage on Oct. 30.

In order to offer people a chance to learn more about the show, an exhibition
showcasing sketches and completed creations is slated to open on Oct.26 at The
Garden Building in Tu Liem district.

The exhibition, which runs until Oct.29, will also present creations by eight
young promising designers from the London Centre for Fashion Studies in Hanoi.


Visitors to the exhibition will also have a chance to get a back stage peek at
what goes on behind the scenes for the first time.

Coorganised by Dep (Beauty) magazine, Le Media and Le Bros, the DFS will start at
8pm at The Garden Building, Me Tri Road, Tu Liem district, Hanoi on Oct.
