Brilliant exhibition of Vietnamese ethnic groups traditional costumes in France
A collection of traditional ethnic costumes from Vietnam by French collector Alain Dussarps is on display at the Vietnamese Cultural Centre in Paris from November 7-12.
The exhibition introduces about 70 sets of costumes, hats and scarves, along with many accessories, jewelry and daily items.
The exhibits were used by people from more than 30 ethnic groups living mainly in the northern mountainous and Central Highlands regions, as well as minority groups in the Mekong Delta and Red River Delta.
Along with introducing the traditional costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups, the exhibition is also a chance to call for support of the groups in developing production.
The event was organised under the initiative of the France-Vietnam Friendship Association (AAFV) to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations and 10 years of strategic partnership between France and Vietnam.
