Design duo Vu Ngoc and Son have chosen Han River Port in Da Nang as the venue for their summer fashion show, marking the first time an independent runway has been staged at this iconic riverside location along the historic Bach Dang Street.

This will be their 16th fashion show and the first held at a port known for its romantic and modern landscape, emblematic of Da Nang’s coastal charm. The 300-meter runway will stretch along the dock, blending natural tranquility with the city’s dynamic urban vibe.

“Many have watched fireworks over the Han River, but few have experienced Da Nang’s dazzling and quiet beauty at dusk. That moment inspired us to create this show,” shared designer Vu Ngoc Tu.

Through this fashion event, the designers aim to honor cultural heritage and spread their love for the homeland by spotlighting the unique character of Da Nang.

The show will feature 150 new designs inspired by the people and natural beauty of Da Nang, presented by nearly 100 models. The collection highlights the freedom of summer with elegant, classic silhouettes that enhance feminine charm.

Nature and coastal motifs, a signature of their style, appear through vibrant colors and cheerful prints. The collection remains faithful to basic, versatile forms suited for the season of movement-from casual streetwear to party dresses.

Fabrics range from jacquard brocade to organza silk, accentuated with hand embroidery and 3D embellishments. Firework motifs and beach morning glory-a radiant wildflower native to central Vietnam’s shores-serve as this season’s core inspirations.

The show’s primary color theme is sky blue. Set for July 20, the event expects around 500 attendees, including consular representatives, government officials, celebrated Vietnamese artists, and an elite cast of beauty queens, models, and social figures.
