Director Tran Thanh Trung, the project's initiator, said the activity commemorates the 80th anniversary of National Day on 2/9. "I hope the collection not only meets aesthetic standards but also carries humanistic values, contributing to fostering national pride among young people and the community," he said.
Several prominent figures in the Vietnamese fashion industry, including Ngo Manh Dong Dong, Tuan Tran, Ha Thanh Huy, and Le Ngoc Lam, are participating in the program. The designers aim to create accessible, ready-to-wear T-shirts inspired by traditional Vietnamese culture.

Do Long explained that one of his three designs features a heart stylized as a phoenix taking flight, symbolizing the strength and resilience of young people. At the center of the design is a gold star with the message: "All energy stems from love for the country." He added a fiery wave effect to the words "Viet Nam," suggesting the ever-moving and spreading nature of patriotism.
Lam Gia Khang's modern design incorporates the number +84 (Vietnam's international dialing code) for a familiar touch. He uses minimalist line art for the design.
Proceeds from T-shirt sales will fund "Thanh Pho No Hoa" (City in Bloom), a landscaping initiative that is part of a larger project running from August to 4/2026. The organizers will plant flower gardens for people to visit and take photos, with the first location planned along the Saigon River in TP HCM. According to the team, around 100 celebrities are involved, aiming to inspire the younger generation and promote domestic tourism.
In addition to fashion design, the team is also producing a community music video titled "Viet Nam Love." The song was composed by musician Tuan Cry, with music production by Nguyen Hai Phong and LongX. The video features several vocalists, including four singers from the shows "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai," "Anh Trai Say Hi," "Chi Dep Dap Gio Re Song," and "Em Xinh Say Hi."
