-
The folk games of tug of war, arm wrestling, and seahorse chess are recreated in the language of fashion by model Dinh Quyen and his students.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, Dinh Quyen and his students made a photo set inspired by three folk games: Tug of war, arm wrestling and seahorse chess. Dinh Quyen said that through the project, he wants to use the language of fashion and photography to help children appreciate traditional cultural values.
In the context of digital technology when electronic devices such as phones and iPads are on the rise, Dinh Quyen hopes that folk games still have their own place with children. The photo set is part of the Kids Photo Star project series founded and maintained by Dinh Quyen for the past four years.
In the photo set, he and the child models wear ao dai and four-piece dresses from the To lotus collection, inspired by traditional weaving techniques and the image of the lotus flower.
