Japan's Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko are making a 4-day official visit to Vietnam. On the first day of their visit, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess visited the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were then officially received by Vietnam's Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan in Hanoi.
On September 21, 2023, Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko attended an event to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan at the International Conference Center in Hanoi.
On September 22, 2023, President of Vietnam Vo Van Thuong and his wife Phan Thi Thanh Tam received Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko at the Presidential Palace in Hanoi.

A lovely mix of traditional and western styles all round.

Yes indeed! I love the kimono, and every example of the áo dài. Long live traditional differences in dress … so much more interesting than globalised fashion!
DeleteBeautiful gowns and such a nice balance of tradition and modernity. Lovely to see these - and not just because of the remarkable fashion, but rather because of the beautiful example of putting the past behind and building a great relationship between the countries.

Ce n'est pas souvent que je vois Kiko vêtue d'un kimono ; vraiment ravissante dans cette couleur coquille d'oeuf !
ReplyDeleteGood to see the Japanese Imperial Family again on here. I'm also glad to see a traditional kimono worn again for the reception indoors. Always makes for a spectacular look.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kimono worn by Pss Kiko., also a great suit by her, at the arrival, in Hanoi. Already a 50-year Diplomatic relationship between the two Countries. All under the watchful eye of Ho Chi Minh. Hope their visit was a success, for both Countries. css
ReplyDeleteBoth Princess Kiko’s suits are smart, especially the blue one. Love the jewel brights of the Vietnamese ladies, especially the gorgeous red gown in the first couple of pics

I do agree about that red gown. It is so beautiful
DeletePss Kiko looks immaculately groomed, love her attire. A great mix of elegant outfits and traditional wear.
ReplyDeleteA pleasure to the eye.
DeleteNice change from baggy pants and uneven hems.
