Chung Thanh Phong's latest collection, CTP No.3, launching on 2/8, represents one of his most extensive projects in terms of research and execution. The collection features 100 designs that explore the unique characteristics of mutated orchids. "No one is born the same, just as no two orchids possess the same beauty. Each individual is unique, created by uncopyable differences," the designer stated.

The Fall/Winter 2026 collection continues to honor craftsmanship, featuring hand-embroidered gradient orchids that took over 6 months to create. The designs utilize contrasting materials such as voile, lace, silk, and velvet, combined with metal, sequins, and reflective details. Liquid silk is also used throughout the collection, requiring advanced draping techniques to create soft, precise folds.

For the show's promotional photoshoot, the designer invited muses from various eras of Vietnamese fashion, including Lan Khue, Ha Anh, Huong Ly, Huynh Tu Anh, and Lai Mai Hoa. Each muse embodies a different style: rebellious, elegant, or sensual. Together, they form a tableau reflecting the show's spirit.

The event is expected to welcome 400 guests, including celebrities from fashion, music, and film, as well as journalists and international experts. Beyond the designs, this show also features significant investment in makeup and hairstyling, overseen by image director Tee Le, enhancing the haute couture essence of each garment.

The show marks the return of director Pham Hoang Nam after a 10-year absence from the fashion stage. He is known for his visual artistry and ability to tell stories through light.
