Hundreds of guests gathered at the Han River Port on the evening of 20/7 for the "Where Fireworks Sparkle" fashion show by designers Vu Ngoc and Son. On a 300-meter runway, the duo presented 120 designs showcasing various styles and materials.
Miss Bui Quynh Hoa and runner-up Quynh Anh opened the show in a traditional cyclo (three-wheeled bicycle taxi). According to the design team, incorporating this mode of transport evoked memories of the city's past and its bustling trading ports.
