Instead of working on modern clothing styles, Vietnamese designer Nguyen Duc Loc has decided to take a step back in time and focus on his country’s ancient outfit designs. The 28-year-old has founded a company dedicated to reproducing attire from Vietnam’s Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945), a time when the ruling class wore extravagant designs embellished with symbols of power such as dragons. Loc hopes his company can help spur a return of the traditional clothing to modern-day life.

I would love to see traditional clothing come back into fashion. It would be so cool walking down the street and seeing people wearing traditional clothing. Maybe there is a way to adapt them for the modern market?

There is! I'm actually working on a modernized prototype for Việt phục at the moment! Most of my prototypes are based on the clothing of previous dynastic styles like the Later Lê, but if you're interested to see Nguyễn dynasty styles, there are some shops in Vietnamese that offer modernized designs like V'Style Việt Cổ Phục Cách Tân.

Part of the reason some countries don't wear traditional or ancient outfit, particularly those in tropical countries, is high humidity. Another reason is practicality. They are unquestionably gorgeous but it's not practical to use at work especially if your work involves manual labor. Also, these outfits don't come cheap. These are mostly geared toward the elite and high fashion that's why it might be challenging to revive it but definitely not impossible.

Our clothes is vividly influenced from China's Hanfu. We don't deny that. 1000yrs of colonization isn't a short time. But like Japan, we didn't use it 100% but added twists and changes to make it more distinguished, more Annam' s represented images. Like Japan did with Kimono. Some aggressive Vietnamese refusing China's origins. But we're not shameless like K who claiming backwards.

There are critics about the styles were copied from here and there. Such emphasis is irrelevant. Silk was invented long long time ago and during that time only nobility can afford to own such an item. Most likely such elegant garments were used as gifts among kingdoms and or for marriage, etc... over time the styles evolved to fit the weather of the region primarily.
