MADAME
Category: Apparel
Competitions: Vietnam
Madame is deeply inspired by the historical figure Madame Nguyen Thi Binh - a female diplomat with a calm demeanor and strength admired by the Vietnamese press and the world. She is likened to a "dancing steel rose among wolves" - because when looking at her, one can feel two completely opposing sensations. A very strong, powerful feeling but at the same time very gentle and graceful due to her unique style of dressing. She chose the áo dài, sometimes paired with a trench coat, sometimes with a silk scarf wrapped around her neck, or sunglasses. All of this created an incredibly luxurious and powerful overall look, but not harsh, not flaunting strength. Madame was made from leather with a touch of menswear style combined with the image of the traditional Ao Dai to recreate the blend of strength and gentleness of Madame Nguyen Thi Binh. The project (Madame) not only aims to honor a prominent figure but also wants to remind us of a peace that is incredibly precious and "expensive."
