For generations, Hue was the land of poetry, music and fine arts. Works by late artists such as Ton That Dao, Dinh Cuong and Buu Chi, as well as current painters such as Truong Be, Dang Mau Tuu and Phan Thanh Binh… highlight the romantic and tranquil charm of Hue.
and Áo dài by designer Minh Hanh
Portraits of traditional Hue ladies, paintings of lotuses and lilies and landscapes of the Perfume River and Ngu Mountain were some of the subjects adapted to the áo dài. A set of dove paintings by Buu Chi in 1973 to demonstrate a desire for peace and a collection of paintings by artist Dinh Cuong that portrayed the grace of Hue maidens were adapted by designer Minh Hanh on her impressive collection. Her unique designs were contemporary but faithful to the timeless beauty of the áo dài, wearable both on the catwalk and on special occasion in everyday life.
