Fashion issue: 'Seeing-through' & Vietnamese Fashion




Seeing-through material is one of my favourite. It is completely feminine, elegant and sophisticated. It depends on the designs and construction, however, it creates a beautiful, graceful look. Thinking about seeing-through materials, I can mention chiffon for a soft, flowy look and silk organza for slightly more textures. I cannot also not mention that seeing-through materials are very revealing.

Since seeing-through became one of the hottest fashion trends, everyone has all seen examples of women that pulled it together tastefully and also women that went a bit over the top with it. It is a trend that might not be everyone's cup of tea as it's quite daring and people have very different opinions towards it, though; It still has made a fashion revolution around the world.

I love the materials and they not only appear in most of my designs, I also have a few transparent garments myself. I think the transparency is absolutely elegant, very trendy and sexy. However, being revealing in Vietnam is a total different thing. It is quite strict in Asia and only a small percentage of Vietnamese girls dare to wear chiffon or lace.

The seeing-through trend also raised up controversy in the country. Many people think it is inappropriate to adapt this trend from western countries as we have different lifestyle and point of view. On the other hand, there are many people love the trend and quite often I could see celebrities promoting this trend. There certainly are debates about celebrities wearing transparent clothes and influence young girls.

In my opinion, it is totally a personal thing for a person to dress the way they want to. Daring and different things always raise up debates and there are always people who love a trend and people who do not like the same trend at the same time. However, designers have to be aware of the environment and the market they are working in in order to focus on their target market and to do good business. To me personally, I am glad that Vietnamese women nowadays are more daring and willing to look unique. Considering my designing style, I think lots of people in Vietnam will like my designs and that is the thing all designers want.
