HANOI – Vietnamese fashion designer Trần Phương Hoa, renowned for her elaborate wedding gown designs, will attend the much-anticipated Vancouver Fashion Week 2025 to present her latest collection, Radiant Symphony.
Comprising 12 designs that celebrate the perfect blend of classic and modern styles, Radiant Symphony is likened to a complete symphony of love.
The collection uses familiar materials in wedding gown design, such as chiffon, silk, and satin, incorporating embroidery techniques, embellishments, and 3D shapes with elegant cut-out details. Additionally, in a bid to showcase traditional Vietnamese materials in international presentations, the designer has integrated pearls produced in the central province of Khánh Hòa in her works.
The 32-year-old designer said that she spent a year developing this collection, from the initial concept to registration for participation. Each dress is a unique version of itself, showcasing the beauty of the fusion between Vietnamese and Canadian culture and fashion.
One of the designs from the Radiant Symphony collection was revealed to the public when singer Hòa Minzy wore it while performing in the musical reality show Anh Trai Say Hi on October 19.

The dress, specially tailored for the singer, features a standout sheer corset, cleverly combined with bold yet delicate cut-out details. The bodice is supported by lightweight padding, adorned with pearls and crystals to create a sparkling effect with movement. The off-shoulder design is accentuated by soft, shimmering chiffon and beaded straps, enhancing the overall allure and elegance. The flowing skirt, with meticulously pleated layers of chiffon, adds a sense of lightness and grace to every step.
The design combines the luxury of crystals with the elegance of Khánh Hòa pearls, creating a look that is both feminine and glamorous. It is finished with meticulously crafted hand-embroidered details and a sophisticated mix of materials, resulting in a perfect fashion piece for this special performance.
The dress is the result of hundreds of hours of creative labour and craftsmanship from the designer and Eleven S team, aimed at presenting the singer in the best possible appearance for the performance. All design and fitting processes were kept secret to ensure that Hòa’s appearance would be a surprising and memorable moment on stage.
