Designer Khanh Shyna captures the elegance and regal essence of Vietnam’s past with an áo dài collection in the Hue imperial style. The collection features colors long associated with royalty, such as gold and red, mixed with embroidered brocade.

The silhouettes of Khanh Shyna áo dài remain authentic but are updated with patterns along the sleeves for a touch of modernity. Luxury brocade and a figure-fitting waistline accentuate feminine curves.

Decorative patterns in the collection turn to timeless motifs of Vietnamese culture, such as the peacock and the white crane, which are elaborately embroidered on an exquisite blue background.
