Organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Women’s Union, in cooperation with its partners, the event is part of the association’s activities to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8.
It aims to highlight women and the beauty and grace of ao dai, which has become the symbol of feminine beauty in Vietnam, and traditional culture and lifestyle values through the visual arts.
