The students took part in interactive games, and quizzes, clapping and dancing to the music of the song "Don Xuan" on stage, with cheerful Tet music, helping to spread the beauty of Vietnamese Tet culture to their international friends.
Dr Nguyen Nhu Thoai and Anna Hoang taught the students how to say Tet greetings in Vietnamese, which they found very endearing. They also learned about how to make banh chung, from choosing the ingredients to wrapping and cooking the delicious bánh chưng over a wood fire for 10-12 hours, which amazed the students. The students also listened attentively to a presentation on how Vietnamese people decorate their homes for Tet and the custom of giving lucky money to children at the beginning of the year and asked many lovely questions.

On 17 February, Anna Hoang’s Ao dai Love Collection brand with the support of Dr Nguyen Nhu Thoai and members of the LOANI VN-UK organisation, successfully presented a collection of Vietnamese Tet Ao dai at London Fashion Week, which was highly praised by the international media as “a cultural adventure on the catwalk”.
The Vietnamese Tet Ao dai Love Collection unfolded like a visual journey across Vietnam, with 28 meticulously crafted designs for both adults and children. Each piece was infused with traditional Tet motifs, telling stories of Vietnam’s rich cultural tapestry and universal themes of love and hope. Anna’s designs are not just clothes; they are bridges connecting cultures, bringing British audiences closer to the heart of Vietnam. The reception to the collection was more than applause; it sparked genuine curiosity among many British audience members, who expressed their eagerness to experience Vietnam first-hand, captivated by the culture and beauty showcased on the catwalk.
It is a source of great pride that, thanks to the efforts of dedicated individuals and organisations within the Vietnamese community across the UK, Vietnamese Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) has gradually become better known in the UK over the years, continuing to preserve and spread the traditional beauty of Vietnamese culture for future generations.
