The Former Tourism Ambassador said she was awake for nights worrying for fashion show to be coincided with international standards, creating artistic value up to the desire of the brand crew.

In the afternoon of 9^th November at Ho Chi Minh City, Ly Nha Ky and Viet Tu director and French designer Alexis Mabille met the press to share information about Lynk Fashion Show 2015.

Ly Nha Ky was introduced as a business woman - the founder of this annual fashion show. She said the closer the date of the show, the higher intense for the whole team. Personally the beauty lost 3 kg for worrying too much and losing sleep. Once on the elevator going into the meeting room, she stood unsteadily and had to ask two men walking beside to guide her.

Ly Nha Ky did not disclose the amount invested in this high-end fashion show. To her, Lynk Fashion Show is like Haute Couture work-of-art pieces, cannot be measured by money. "The value of this show can only be measured by the expectation of the media, the love of specialists and evaluation of international friends". She only revealed that this show is not her own game but it’s of her management company. "If my company does not operate business efficiently, Lynk Fashion Show will not take place for the second time and also afterwards," she said.

Alexis Mabille the designer also kept the price of Haute Couture artwork brought into Vietnam confidential. "Thinking of Haute Couture is thinking about class, frivolity and eternal femininity. Prices of clothing are always kept secret for those who play high fashion and clearly understand that Haute Couture is not for show-off." The designer said he had yet to learn much about Vietnamese fashion prior to this performance. However, he believes in Ly Nha Ky – a friend whom he loves from knowing she was the sponsor for an art museum of France.

Explanation about the severe regulations such as catwalk podium and fitting room is not allowed to have a speck of dust, Alexis Mabille said: "This is my collection already held at Paris Fashion Week, was assessed by the Council of French Haute Couture. Hence I want everything to be perfect according to the standards of Haute Couture. I did not arbitrarily set out these requirements."

Director Viet Tu added: "When he arrived in Vietnam, the first thing Alexis Mabille did is checking the catwalk podium. He was very satisfied with the preparation of the crew".

Ly Nha Ky said the fashion show will endure for 15 minutes, double the time amount originally planned.

Those executing the show revealed that the majority of models were strictly selected. Accordingly to Alexis Mabille, model is not simply a beautiful girl wearing the collection, but must reflect both her beauty and soul through costume.

Ly Nha Ky also announced the show will last 15 minutes, almost doubled duration compared to the amount originally planned. "I have repeatedly called to France, begged designers to prolong duration of the show. Alexis has agreed to increase the number of collection up to 35 looks," she said.
