On the evening of November 26, the Fashion Show "Homeland Sketch" by designer Thach Linh will take place at Sao Do Square (Chi Linh).

This is a program within the framework of the Artistic Fashion Project to promote 63 provinces and cities and bring Vietnamese culture to the world, initiated and implemented by designer Thach Linh.

Hai Duong is the hometown of designer Thach Linh, and "Homeland Sketch" is the program that Thach Linh has devoted the most passion and emotion to so far.

With the desire to introduce the beauty of culture, tourism and unique characteristics of Hai Duong in particular and Vietnam in general to the public through the language of fashion, Thach Linh and 3 designers Dung Nguyen, Hung Bao, Nguyen Minh Cong have researched and created new, unique collections, introduced to the public for the first time. In particular, the highlight is the collection with the program theme designed by Thach Linh: "Sketching the homeland".

Each design in the “Homeland Sketches” collection is inspired by landmarks and specialties bearing the cultural imprint of Chi Linh and Hai Duong. Typical images of Hai Duong culture such as green bean cakes, gai cakes, Thanh Ha lychees, Thanh Ha guavas, Tu Ky crab cakes, etc. are present on the costumes in a subtle and lively way. In particular, the fresh green color is the main theme, which will refresh the traditional costumes associated with this land rich in tradition.

Along with the collection “Homeland Sketches”, Thach Linh also brought the collection “Northern Flowers” ​​to the show. Meanwhile, designer Dung Nguyen introduced the collection “Dawn”, designer Hung Bao brought the collection “Lien Thien” and designer Nguyen Minh Cong will appear with the collection “Mong Dao Nguyen”.

A special feature of the program is that the stage was inspired by the gate of Kiep Bac Temple. In the role of the program's producer, designer Thach Linh shared: "When starting to make the Fashion Show "Sketch of the homeland", I thought a lot and struggled a lot to convey the unique cultural features to the public. After surveying and researching carefully, I decided to take the gate of Kiep Bac Temple as the main source of inspiration. This is the place to worship Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan, an important relic of the Con Son-Kiep Bac relic site".

Besides, when talking about Con Son-Kiep Bac area, we cannot help but mention the familiar root field in this land rich in historical traditions, recalling the ancient story of “the old man planted pine trees, the old woman planted roots”. And the root tree will be present at the show “Homeland Sketches” with decorations along both sides of the stage, giving the audience the feeling of walking among the root fields with a gentle, pungent fragrance…”.
