✨ Lễ Hội Áo Dài Ra Mắt Tại Google Trong Dịp Trung Thu

🌸 A Historic First for ADF

Being invited to showcase at Google was more than just an opportunity – it was a powerful moment of cultural exchange that reflects the growing recognition of the Áo Dài Festival as a bridge between culture, art, and community. The enthusiasm and support of the Google team, along with their commitment to celebrating diversity, made us feel right at home. Their warmth and energy amplified the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, turning it into an unforgettable experience filled with creativity, pride, and cultural connection.

Innovation meets tradition 🌸 ADF team and Googlers celebrating culture together.

👗 Two Breathtaking Collections

We were proud to present two unique collections that brought Vietnamese artistry to the global stage:

• Fall/Winter Collection by Cynthia Bui – breathtaking designs that merged seasonal elegance with the timeless grace of the Áo Dài. Her work reimagined the traditional silhouette with modern sophistication, leaving the audience in awe.

We were honored by the special appearance of Cynthia Bui, whose collection left us in awe.

• “Thời Xưa Tới Thời Nay” by Trần Thiên Khánh – a cultural journey “from past to present”, transforming from the royal family to the old streets of Huế, to the modern era

  , and finally into high fashion. His collection beautifully showed how the Áo Dài evolves with time while remaining a symbol of elegance and Vietnamese pride.
  
  

Trần Thiên Khánh’s ‘Thời Xưa Tới Thời Nay’ took us from royal roots to high fashion.

💃🎶 Dance and Music Performances

The fashion show was brought to life with the support of our amazing dance team, our talented models, and the soulful voice of Victoria Thuy Vi McDowell, whose performance added depth and emotion to the celebration. Together, they created an atmosphere that was both festive and unforgettable, capturing the spirit of the Moon Festival while complementing the elegance of the Áo Dài on stage.
