On October 21, along with Vietnamese designer Lam Gia Khang’s collection, collections of 14 famous names in Southeast Asia are introduced under the theme of “New Waves”.
Meanwhile, in the last night themed “Future Stars”, young designers and excellent students will introduce their outstanding collections.
All these performances offer the audience a unique fashion experience by using the latest technologies, such as 5D Mapping, Kinetic, and AR Magic Mirror.
