HCM CITY — Nearly 100 fashion models and beauty queens will participate in the Wedding Fashion Show 2009, which opens at HCM City’s Sheraton Sai Gon Hotel this weekend.
The two-day event is organised by PL, one of the city’s leading fashion model and event agencies in co-operation with Sheraton Sai Gon.
The event’s highlights include fashion shows featuring wedding collections in Vietnamese and Western styles by talented designers like Son Collections and Van Thanh Cong.
While not many young couples prefer using traditional costumes on their wedding day, this event could change their minds by offering many variations of the traditional designs.
The latest collections of ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) for brides and bridegrooms by fashion houses Si Hoang and Thuan Viet – who combine both modern and classical elements in their designs, are sure to evoke considerable interest among young couples, organisers say.
The models, including Miss Viet Nam 2008 Nguyen Thuy Dung and the second runner-up at Miss Viet Nam Global 2009, Nguyen Huong Giang, will grace the catwalk on both evenings at the hotel’s Grand Ballroom.
Organisers say Giang’s ao dai, which helped her win the international beauty contest in Texas last month, will be auctioned and the proceeds donated to charity.
The event will also offer different wedding day services like hairdressing, bridal car decorations, photography and video-recording.
Professionals in planning weddings, Nguyen Pro and Cao Son, will also join make-up artists and hairstylists for this event.
Main sponsors of this event are Cathay Pacific and the car maker BMW.
The exhibition will open to the public at 10am today at the Grand Ballroom at Sheraton Sai Gon Hotel in District 1. Admission to the event is free.
The fashion shows will begin at 7pm each night. Guests have to register free of charge in advance because seating is limited, organisers say. — VNS

Minh strolls into Grand Prix 3rd round
HA NOI — Third seed Nguyen Tien Minh entered the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold’s third round after beating Kazuteru Kozai 2-0 yesterday.
World No 9 Minh met no difficulty with the unseeded Japanese Kozai, who is 82nd in the world. Kozai was up with Minh in the first few minutes of the first set but couldn’t keep it up. Minh won 21-15.
The second set was even worse for Kozai 13-21 and ended his tournament hopes.
Meanwhile, Minh enters the third round to face Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk of Thailand. The Vietnamese top player should have some advantage after such an easy second-round match while the Thai expended a lot of energy to beat the host’s 9th seed Yu Hsing Hsieh.
In their game, Tanongsak won the first set 21-17, while Hsieh came back to level with a 21-17 win in the second set. Things seemed easier for Hsieh in the decisive set and he led most of the way but Tanongsak downed thousands of Chinese Taipei fans’ hopes when he overcame Hsieh in the last minutes to win 22-20.
Hsieh was among three of the tournament’s top 10 seeds ousted after the second round. The first was No 10 Arvind Bhat of India who lost 17-21, 18-21 to Chih Hao Chen of the host team.
The second was Chetan Anand, No 7, also from India, who was defeated 21-19, 13-21, 21-17 by South Korea’s Sa Rang Kim.
Around 192 badminton players compete in the tournament for US$170,000 bonuses in men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles events.
The finals are scheduled for Sunday. — VNSHA NOI — Third seed Nguyen Tien Minh entered the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold’s third round after beating Kazuteru Kozai 2-0 yesterday.
