"Hundred Flowers Walk", Vietnamese Costume Festival
The event "Bach Hoa Bo Hanh 2024" has portrayed a vivid picture of the history of Vietnamese costumes through the dynasties, recreating the quintessence of national culture from the majestic Nguyen Dynasty court costumes to the graceful traditional ao dai. Each ancient costume is meticulously crafted, clearly showing the style and art of tailoring of each period, giving the public a unique and profound experience.
This is an activity to introduce and honor the beauty of Vietnamese traditional costumes, while helping the audience learn more about unique cultural features.
The space of "Hundred Flowers Walk 2024" is where the flow of time and history blend together, creating a playground full of creativity and cultural exchange. The event is not only a traditional costume parade but also an opportunity for designers, research teams and traditional costume enthusiasts to meet, exchange knowledge and share their passion for national culture.
Amidst the bustling scene of Hanoi's Old Quarter, each Vietnamese costume - from the cross-neck shirt, the Japanese-style dress to the traditional ao dai - is like a historical story brought back to life, carrying with it the quintessence of culture. The familiar streets of the capital suddenly become an outdoor art "stage", attracting the attention of thousands of people and tourists, recreating the beauty of a bygone era in the heart of a modern city.
The event is part of a series of activities to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Vietnamese traditional costume movement (2014 - 2024), while also joining the creative flow of the new cultural era.
The event "Bach Hoa Bo Hanh" means "a hundred flowers blooming", symbolizing the richness and diversity of traditional costumes that are gradually being revived, creating a space full of color and vitality. The program has contributed to spreading Vietnamese cultural values, affirming the connection between tradition and creativity, so that Vietnamese costumes not only exist but also develop strongly in the context of international integration. This is not only a performance of traditional costumes but also a journey of discovery and learning about history and national art, affirming pride in Vietnamese cultural identity, bringing the beauty of traditional costumes to the world from the heart of Hanoi.
The program revived historical memories through costumes, while affirming creativity and the connection between tradition and modernity.
The organizers hope to introduce and share research results, promote cooperation, breathe new values, create a dynamic exchange environment for creative people to promote the original values of the nation, and lay the foundation for cultivating the spirit of design and creativity imbued with Vietnamese identity in the creative industry.
Not only is it an occasion to honor and introduce the beauty of traditional and modern costumes, the event is also a place for individuals, research groups and collectors of traditional costumes in Hanoi to share stories and experiences.
Recently, in the music show “Anh trai vu ngan cong gai”, the performance “Trong com” performed by People’s Artist Tu Long, singer Soobin Hoang Son, Cuong Seven became a million-view performance attracting the audience. The blend of traditional and modern materials, from melody to music, the ending is the sound of the monochord in a festival setting with flags, making a strong impression on the audience. With the spirit of creativity and innovation, the beauty of folk culture in the community has been “revived”, becoming a creative product that actively contributes to the development of the cultural industry in a professional and modern direction.
The film “Cam” is the most notable film for Vietnamese audiences because of the series of elaborately invested ancient costumes, with careful research when bringing ancient costumes to the screen. Many reviews say that the revenue of 117 billion VND of the film “Cam” was successful partly thanks to the impressive costume image. The costume team of the film “Cam” recreated the four-panel and five-panel shirts, giao linh, vien linh, doi kham… along with the incorporation of typical folk cultural materials such as Dong Ho paintings and Sinh village paintings into the costumes.
