The beauty queens had performed designs by Tuan before. Some of them were crowned in Tuan’s designs.

This wedding dress collection combines the elegant beauty of traditional Asian costumes and the splendor of European wedding dresses. With diverse sources of inspiration, each design in this collection enhances the charming beauty of the bride and carries within it the story of two blended cultures.

The main materials used in the collection are high-quality, light-catching fabrics that create comfort and luxury. Combined with high-quality lace, gentle chiffon and shiny silk satin, each dress becomes special and different. The variety of materials and delicate attachments help each design become lively, flexible, and shimmering with every step of the bride.

The dress design in the Asian-European collection has a unique style that is harmonious between classic and modern. Details such as the traditional high collar are inspired by ao dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress) and cheongsam (Chinese long dress), bringing an elegant and discreet beauty, while also being equally seductive with low-cut and off-the-shoulder designs. European-style long fishtail, combined with delicately embroidered motifs, creates a splendid and impressive wedding day. In addition, hood details and impressive 3D sculpting details are also interesting choices for stylish brides.

Pure white is the main color tone of the collection, symbolizing purity and elegance. Silver and ivory white colors are also used, bringing a gentle and natural beauty that is suitable for Asian women. This collection celebrates the beauty and unique style of each bride. This is the perfect choice for those who want to bring a new breath, a cross-cultural beauty to the big event of life.

Sharing about the show, designer Nguyen Minh Tuan said: "Thailand Fashion Week 2024 is an international event held every two years in Bangkok, Thailand, which introduces works by Thai and international fashion designers across Couture, Homme, Femme, Avant-Garde, Accessories, Shoes and Jewelry. This is a good opportunity to introduce Minh Tuan Couture brand to fashion experts, buyers and media from all over the world.”
