According to the organizers of the London Fashion Week, Hung is among the established brands in the luxury fashion market, "captivating his audience with his sophisticated designs by pushing the envelope of design".

Pleating techniques and exaggerated flowers give the pink gown a distinctive look. Hung’s creations are seen as possessing a romantic style that mixes Asian and Western inspirations, and involve hand embroidery on silk and organza.

Most of the raw materials he uses are environmentally friendly material and ethically sourced silk. Some designs are even made from excess fabric, minimising waste discarded into the environment, Vietnamnet reported.

Sewing production is almost exclusively done by hand, reaching an advanced level that minimises the use of machines. Organza is Hung’s signature material of choice, which makes his brand unique in Vietnam.

This is the second time that the Vietnamese renowned designer has been invited to the hit fashion catwalk of London Fashion Week, but the first time his profile has appeared on the homepage of London Fashion Week along with other famous designers of the world.

According to Vietnam Investment Review, London Fashion Week takes place in London twice a year, in February and September.

This year, however, due to COVID-19 pandemic, there will be a slight change in the event – all men’s and women’s shows will be performed fusion on a digital neutral platform, meaning that the shows will be lived streamed in the website londonfashionweek.co.uk along with live demonstrations that follow strict guidelines on social distancing.
