The development history of aode

In Vietnamese, the word Ode can refer to many kinds of clothing in history, including the fashion Ao Ngu Than influenced by the Qing Dynasty. Including a set of clothes redesigned by Hanoi artist Nguyen Cat Tuong in 1930 inspired by Paris fashion, including the style designed by Saigon fashion designers in the 1950s. Aodai was very popular in southern Vietnam in the 1960s and early 1970s, but after the reunification of Vietnam, 1975, frugal clothing was advocated and fashion was prohibited, which basically disappeared. It was not until the 1990 s that Aodai became popular again. There is another kind of Vietnamese men called Ao gam, which is usually worn on major festivals, weddings, funerals and other occasions, but nowadays Ao gam is only worn by elderly men. However, at the APEC meeting held in Vietnam in 2006, leaders of all countries also put on Aodai.

historical development

In history, Vietnam was greatly influenced by China, and so was the development of Aodai. However, with the development of Vietnam's economy, the local consciousness began to strengthen, and many ethnic minority elements were added to Aobao. Therefore, it can be said that Vietnam's ode is the product of mixed cultures. Some people on the Internet call it "Vietnamese cheongsam" which is inaccurate. Although it is very similar to cheongsam, from the historical changes, Odd was only associated with cheongsam in the early days, and later developed with European and American cultures. By the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, some young girls began to study in French schools. At this time, there appeared clothes that not only conformed to their sense of superiority in knowledge and culture, but also led the fashion trend. In the1930s, Nguyen Cat Tuong, the most famous designer and writer at that time, was inspired by Paris fashion, and designed a series of Audace with strong French style, such as bright colors, shoulder discounts, round low collar, waistcoat tailoring, and European accessories such as shoulder pads, sleeves, lace and tassels. Another designer, Le Pho, also continued this tailor-made style and laid the basic style of modern Ode in Vietnam.

In the 1950' s, two fashion designers, Tran Kim and Dung, changed the neckline to a 45-degree raglan sleeve design under the armpit, which could avoid the crease caused by arm movement. At the same time, they also made a hip-sticking and wide-tube oblique cutting design for pants, which is still in use today. Tram Kim, an old designer, opened a branch in California on 1982, while his old shop in Saigon was continued by his son.

After 1954, North and South Vietnam entered a period of division. Influenced by American culture, collarless aunts began to appear in southern Vietnam. This trend was personally promoted by Ruan Lingyu, the first lady of former South Vietnamese President Wu Tingyan. Because Wu Tingyan is unmarried for life, Wu Tingyan's younger brother Wu Tingru's wife ngo dinh Tran Le Xuan often wears a boat collar or a sailor collar. Until 1975, when South Vietnam was liberated, Aude presented various hippie and psychedelic styles and tended to be miniskirts.

1975 After North Vietnam liberated the south, Aobao almost disappeared, because the Viet Cong believed that Aobao represented South Vietnam's capitalism, bourgeoisie and evil American imperialism, and was not suitable for working people to wear, and was only allowed to be worn on a few occasions such as weddings. It was not until 1986, after Vietnam's "reform and opening up", that the Vietnamese government began to advocate Aodai again, making Aodai popular again and becoming the standard uniform for female civil servants, hotel receptionists, news anchors, airline stewardesses and high school girls.

The Vietnamese government encourages women to wear national costumes on formal occasions. For example, people usually wear red during the Spring Festival, black at funerals and pink at weddings. Women's uniforms in colleges and universities are designated as white national uniforms, symbolizing the purity of girls (so in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, people who wear traditional clothes are actually female students, and groups of white "carols" shake in the streets when they go to school or after school, which is very eye-catching), but they can be changed into colorful national uniforms when they graduate, which means maturity, which is a bit like kimono. Vietnam Airlines flight attendants' work clothes are also designed in the style of "Aodai". Under normal circumstances, it is more appropriate for middle-aged women to wear dark national costumes, while girls are mainly light or white. Although their national costume for men is not very distinctive, it is almost the same as "Tang suit", but it is enough to show that they attach importance to their traditional costumes. From June 5438+065438+1October 17 to June 5438+09, 2006, the 14th informal meeting of APEC was held in Hanoi, Vietnam. And * * * is also dressed in black, but because black is the traditional dress of Vietnamese women, it is among * * *, 65438+.

1989, Vietnam began to hold Miss Ao Dai, attracting thousands of beautiful women to participate every year (1989, 16000 Vietnamese participated in the beauty contest held in Ho Chi Minh City), ranging in age from 15 to 35, and students from art colleges began to participate. 1995 miss world beauty pageant was held in Tokyo. Truong Quynh Mai, a Vietnamese beauty, won the best national costume award with a blue and white brocade, which also attracted international attention. Many international fashion shows or designers also get a lot of inspiration from Aude, such as Claude montana, Ralph Lauren, karl lagerfeld, richard taylor, christian lacroix and so on.

Aobao, Vietnam has become the best representative of national image, fashion and even architectural art. At present, a 65-storey building, the tallest in Vietnam, is being built in Hanoi, the capital. It is expected to be officially completed on 20 10, and its appearance is inspired by Aobao, Vietnam.
