Including a costume redesigned by Hanoi artists Nguyen Cat Tuong in 1930 inspired by Paris fashion, including the style that we see in Xigong fashion designers in 50s.

In the early 60s and early 70s, South Vietnam was very late.

But after the national reunification of Vietnam in 1975, the prohibition of fashion, which advocated frugal clothing, was basically disappearing until 90s.

So it can be said that Vietnam's AI Dai is a product of the fusion of many cultures.

Early eddy

In 39 ad, Vietnamese women in the North began to wear a Ao Tu than with a loose cut and four rows of skirts to commemorate a Hai Ba Trung who was brave enough to resist China's invasion.

By the 1744, Nguyen Dynasty, Emperor Vuo Voong, advocated women wearing buttons and jackets. After that, Emperor Minh Mang banned women from wearing skirts, so trousers began to become popular in the upper classes. At the same time, they adopted the design of the cheongsam collar of Qing Dynasty in China, opening their necks along the ribs from the neck and under the armpits so that they could be worn out. This is the early form of Vietnam's Dai Dai.

Modern eddy

By the end of the nineteenth Century and early twentieth Century, in the French era, some young girls began to enter the French school. At that time, clothes that met their knowledge and cultural superiority and led the fashion trend at the same time appeared.

In 1930s, the most famous designer of the time was Nguyen Cat Tuong, a French writer who was inspired by Paris fashion, and designed a series of bright European style accessories such as bright colors, shoulder discounts, round low collar, vest trimming, and so on. At the same time, she also used shoulder pads, sleeves, lace and fringes for European accessories.

Another designer, Le Pho, has continued the style of tailoring and fitting, which has laid the foundation for modern Vietnam.

In 1950s, Tran Kim and Dung, the two fashion designers, took the collar to the armpit to change the 45 degree shoulder sleeve design to avoid the crease in the arm movement. At the same time, the design of the buttocks and the wide tube bevel edge clipping was made in the trousers section.

(Tram Kim, the veteran designer went to California, USA to open a branch store Thiet Lap Tailors in 1982, and his old shop in Xigong was run by his son).

After the 1954, the North South Vietnam entered a split period, and Vietnamese South was influenced by American culture.

The trend is from Madame Nhu ("dragon lady"). She is the first lady of the former South Vietnamese President Wu Ting Yan. Because Wu Tingyan was never married, she was driven by Chen Lichun, Tran Le Xuan of Wu Tingyan's brother Wu Tingru. She often met with foreign guests in a boat collar or sailor led by AO Dai, showing a fine white neck curve.

It was not until 1975 before the liberation of South Vietnam that at that time, O Dai appeared all kinds of Hippie and psychedelic style, and also had the tendency of miniskirt.

In 1975, North Vietnam liberated the south, and after the unification of the north and south, it was almost gone, because the Vietnamese Communist Party thought that the representative of the South Vietnamese capitalism, the bourgeoisie and the evil beauty emperor, and did not fit the working people's wear, only allowed to wear on a few occasions, such as weddings.

It was not until after Vietnam's "reform and opening up" that the Vietnamese government began to reclaim ODI and ODI, which became popular again, and became the standard uniforms for female civil servants, hotel receptionist, news anchors, airline stewardess and high school girls. 1986

The Vietnamese government encourages women to wear national costumes on formal occasions.

For example, during the Spring Festival, people usually wear red, funeral wear black, and wedding is pink.

Women's school uniforms in big and middle schools are designated as white national clothes to symbolize the purity of girls. Therefore, in the streets of Hu Zhiming, there are girls who wear traditional clothes, and when they go to school or school time, the group of white "ao dai" sways in the streets, and is very awake. But in their graduation ceremonies, colorful clothes can mean that they are mature and similar to kimono.

Vietnamese Airlines stewardess's work clothes are also designed to be "ao dai".

Under normal circumstances, middle-aged women wear dark suits, while girls are light or white.

Although their men's uniform is not very distinctive, they are almost the same as "Tang suit".

But it is enough to see their attention to their traditional costumes.

In from November 17 to 19, 2006, the fourteenth informal meeting of APEC leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation was held in Hanoi, Vietnam. The leaders wore the same Dai Dai. However, because of the traditional costume of Vietnamese women, 18 of the leaders were male, so the designers specially changed the "ao dai" long gown.

In 1989, Vietnam began to host the Miss Ao Dai, attracting thousands of contestants every year (in 1989, 16000 Vietnamese participated in the beauty contest held in Hu Zhiming), aged from 15 to 35 years old, and the art school students also began to participate in the improved design of oad, plus the periodical new Odie style of women's magazines, and Vietnam's textile industry began to flourish, so Vietnam's oad became prosperous.

Tokyo held world small in 1995

Sister beauty pageant, Vietnam beauty Truong Quynh Mai won the best national costume award with a blue and white satin ao dai, and also attracted the attention of the international community.

In recent years, many international fashion show or design masters have also obtained many inspirations and inspiration from ODI, such as Claude Montana, Ralph Lauren, Karl Lagerfeld, Richard Tyler, Christian Lacroix, etc.

Vietnam has become the best representative of the national image, fashion and even architectural art. At present, the tallest 65 storey building in Vietnam is being built in the capital of Hanoi. It is expected that 2010 will be formally completed, and its appearance is inspired by Vietnam's ao dai.
