Talk show “Heritage in the breath of contemporary fashion”
In an increasingly globalized fashion world, celebrating and preserving cultural identity is vital than ever. Far more than mere inspiration, cultural heritage serves as a powerful ‘base’ and rich material, empowering designers to carve out their personal brand and establish a distinctive identity in the global market.
The talk show “Heritage in the breath of contemporary fashion” will take the audience on an exciting creative journey. Designer Le Thanh Hoa – who has skillfully brought the spirit and aesthetics of Champa culture into his new collection – has created a project that demonstrates the deep connection between fashion and heritage.
What inspired him to choose Champa culture as a source of inspiration – an ancient culture that is rarely exploited in Vietnamese fashion? How to reconcile tradition and modernity, indigenous elements and contemporary spirit in every cut, material, and color palette?
The story of Designer Le Thanh Hoa is not only a personal sharing, but it also opens a forum to discuss larger issues:
- Global trends: Fashion meets heritage
- Viewpoint: Why designers should learn about cultural heritage in creativity?
- How to balance traditional and modern elements when designing a fashion collection? (to avoid copying, appropriating culture, but only “interpreting”)
- Heritage Conservation Methods Through Fashion
