Gantimurova said she was thrilled to talk to Vo Viet Chung, one of Vietnam’s most famous fashion designers, about ao dai. The Russian beauty spent three hours learning about ao dai and how to move about in it.
During the meeting, Chung also presented Gantimurova with 3 special pieces from his latest collection “Hoa tiet Phuong Nam” (Southern Patterns).
Accompanied by Anastasia Mashukova and Yana Dubnik, two runners-up of the contest, Gantimurova will attend cultural and charity events in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi until July 28.
