Dệt nên triều đại - Weaving a realm

From the book cover: It is not an exaggeration to state that clothing is an indicator of civilization of a Sinospheric culture like Vietnam, for it embodies the ideology, aesthetic and industrial capacity if the nation. The textile industry in history has always been a sophisticated art with a deep connection with prosperity and standing. The self-governing dynasties of Vietnam, when creating national institutions, often set costumes as one of their foremost priorities. That is how the name for this book- “Weaving the Realm” - came to be. We want to tell the story of “national identity” building underneath the story of textiles and attires.
