Revolutionizing tradition

Designer Tran Thien Khanh’s latest ao dai collection draws inspiration from the motif of drifting clouds frequently found on Nguyen Dynasty royal artifacts.

The stylization of classic “Dragon in the Clouds” details makes this collection stand out amid the flow of contemporary ao dai fashion. Designs are not confined to traditional silhouettes, however. Clever cuts and accents create a unique vision that looks to the future while still preserving the essence of the Nguyen Dynasty’s majestic past.

Tran Thien Khanh’s use of color is another highlight, as the designer skillfully finds a sense of harmony across the collection while drawing from a rich and varied color palette.
