The series of cultural events aim to preserve and promote the great values of Vietnamese heritage among the community on the occasion of Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day, which will fall on November 23.

Its craft guilds, streets, and villages have partly contributed to the prosperity of the thousand-year-old capital of Vietnam,” she stated.

“Through the program, folk artists, artisans, contemporary designers, and painters wish to join hands to preserve, promote and bolster the value of the heritages of Thang Long-Hanoi that has been passed down from generation to generation,” she added.

The program entitled “Multipaths of Silk” will feature fashion shows and displays showcasing the talents of local designers through sophisticated fashion items created from mulberry silk and brocade.
