On the evening of October 11, the program "Heritage Steps" - fashion show with the theme "Vietnamese Colors - World rhythm" had the participation of the Ambassadors of many countries.
Heritage Steps not only honors the beauty of Vietnamese culture, but also expands the journey of exchanges with international friends. This year, the program brings together 19 traditional and contemporary fashion collections from 19 countries around the world - each collection is a cultural story, a unique color in the multi-odyne, multi-colored picture of humanity.
Through the language of fashion, cultures will meet, dialogue and spread the spirit of friendship, expressing the aspiration for a connected world - where heritage is continued and shines with the breath of today's era.
