interview * You have always chosen to play your own game. Do you feel alone being a trendsetter? My decision is not participating in Fashion Week so people can see that my brand is not influenced by any organization. I have created my own collections, organized my own catwalk shows, and everything else is simply a halo effect. I have never felt the need to depend on any brand, label, or stage to promote myself. I love being a trendsetter and I am happy with my solitariness. As you can see, for the past 10 years, the trends I've created that put a deep impact in the fashion world and I truly embrace the bold steps that I took. What matters is how much effort you put into your creativity. * For those who love to dress in your designs, what kind of statement are they making about themselves? And do the messages they want to convey change over time? My clients represent a huge part of my personality. From Diem My, Ngo Thanh Van, Ha Kieu Anh, to Linh Nga, Giang My and Ha Tang, they themselves are a manifesto of beauty. They have never spoken about what it means to be beautiful, and neither have my designs tried to convey that. I want to avoid ostentatiousness at all cost. A design piece is timeless or not, it depends on others' perception, and of course, my strong personal work ethics and deep understanding of what it takes to thrive in this competitive industry and leave a mark, play an essential role. A BEHIND THE SCENES STORY OF THE HOTTEST FASHION SHOW OF SUMMER 2018. * Resorts are becoming a popular show venue for collections.

The life of designer Do Manh Cuong For me, it is more of a personal choice than has always been a "mystery", and he is determined a trend. If it's a trend, you have to be able to find many others who are doing the same to continue to keep it hidden from the eyes of the thing, but I'm pretty sure that no one else has public. If there is something he never shies away from traveled down that path. I'm still the first and however, it's dialogue about beauty. the only fashion designer in Vietnam to have been able to pull it off. Fashion is a concept related to beauty, but once beauty is based on the exchange of The inevitable success of being a benefits, it loses its value.

interview The romantic Banyan Tree Lang Co at night T he exclusive 2018 Spring - Summer collection by Do Manh Cuong is to be held at 5 pm on May 26 at the golf course of the world-class integrated resort Laguna Lang Co (Hue), which covers an area of 280 ha, and is surrounded by a 3 km coastal stretch in Chan May Economic Zone with views of the East Sea. Lang Co, famous for its pristine beaches and incredible natural sceneries, is located on the Road of Heritage Sites in Central Vietnam that links Vietnam's World Heritage Sites together. Besides creating amazing collections, Do Manh Cuong is very picky when it comes to his show venues, and, thanks to that, he has enhanced his reputation in the Vietnamese fashion industry. Laguna Lang Co has been chosen as his show venue this year. "King Khai Dinh used to choose Lang Co for his heavenly retreat. Undoubtedly, the natural and magnificent beauty of this destination has been well preserved to this day, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world to find peace, comfort, and inner happiness here", shared Do Manh Cuong. For this year's collection, Do Manh Cuong's 50 models and about 200 VIP guests are to be swept away to the stunning location during the 3-day and 2-night event. This event is a remarkable milestone not only for the successful career of fashion designer Do Manh Cuong but also for the 5th anniversary of the development of Laguna Lang Co. 56 TRAVELLIVE

For her third journey and to celebrate her 3rd birthday, we took lóI BIÕN Oc to Cat Ba and spent 30 incredible days there. CÉT BÄ TRAVELLIVE 3

With the two prior journeys that we took, we visited many different places, and were constantly on the go, and thus needed lightweight luggage.This time however with only one destination in mind and completely different living conditions, we wanted to be more than well-prepared. M y childhood was spent running wild among the fields of rice plant stumps after the harvest season, playing soccer with the local kids under heavy afternoon rains, or trying to catch fish in the rice fields. Those are the most beautiful memories that I have of my childhood. There is nothing more comforting than hearing the sound of children' laughing, enjoying vast natural space along with the sun and rain, and the sound of the frogs among bamboo trees near the pond close to our home. It would be a shame if our little girl missed out on such experiences, so we took Oc again on yet another long trip with us to help her explore the beautiful nature around her. By the end of February, I had traveled alone to Cat Ba National Park to do a site check, was provided helpful information by the park's enthusiastic management staff, and assured that it would be an amazing learning experience for Oc. When I returned to Hanoi, my whole family was excited, and could not wait to embark on the trip. We had two weeks to prepare everything, and since this trip 4 TRAVELLIVE

We sprayed mosquito repellant Our travel items included on Oc to prevent her from getting climbing sticks, lightweight bags, bitten, but mosquitoes and bees wind-proof jackets, trekking still circled around us.

Oc got to see many new things during her first day in the forest, from ants crawling under the brown carpet of leaves on the ground, to termites making a nest in a tree trunk, to colorful bugs which can be spotted under the leaves, as well as all kinds of different birds and butterflies flying from one branch to another. T rekking is a task that often requires adults to have strength, endurance, and some degree of physical conditioning. With children, it is a different story. One kilometer of climbing equals a 3 km walk on flat terrain, so we had to sing to Oc to motivate her. She mostly walked by herself, except for some parts where she held our hands, or needed to be lifted or held. With children, each day gives a different experience. On a normal day, she would get very excited and could walk long distances, but on a different day, she would refuse to walk by herself, and wanted to be held instead. Oc is older this year, but still very much a little girl. We encountered countless colorful butterflies, mushrooms, and huge red ants on our way to Ao Ech. The forest is such a great world with so many things to explore for Oc. We stayed at a villa in Cat Ba National Park where we were surrounded with lush mountains and forests. From here, you can trek along a number of trails into the forest.

Oc's story W hen we first arrived Cat Ba, Oc was a plump and pale little girl who was afraid of worms, geckos, and bees. After a month in the forest, Oc became a lot tougher, started to enjoy life in the forest, became familiar with the insects, and got to know everyone at the park. Our 30-day trip to Cat Ba National Park was an unforgettable experience for Oc, and her childhood memory made special by it. We know that her memories of the forest, the sound of the bees, the calls of the tokay geckos, house lizards at night, and the sound of the forest will live on until she becomes an adult. We accomplished most of the goals we had set before the trip for Oc from camping, to trekking on her own in the forest, to climbing mountains, to watching the moon and the stars, and playing in the sea. Oc got to experience nature in a way that most city kids nowadays seldom have the opportunity to. She has learnt so many things without knowing that she was learning. Oc also had a chance to practice her English during the trip as she met kids from many different countries. Oc was able to greet, talk, and chat with her new friends without any hesitation. The whole family returned to Hanoi, and while we are back at work, we are already planning for the family's next trip, and looking for a Chinese tutor for Oc. Our next journey which is likely to be at the end of the year, will include Mongolia, China, and Japan - another long trip of Oc to discover the northeast Asia. TRAVELLIVE

Into the wild in Zanskar pon arrival in Zanskar, I felt U immersed in its picturesque landscape of high mountains and the powerful Suru valley. Zanskar is part of Ladakh, or little Tibet, and it belongs to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K); the western part of the state reaches Pakistan and the eastern and northern parts border Tibet. J&K once captured the heart of an Indian king, who dubbed the land "paradise on Earth". J&K encompasses the gentle beauty of its deep blue lake, it is as stunning as its glaciers and snowy Himalayas, it is wild as the roaring river, as quiet as the monastery of the slopes, and just as romantic as the valleys concealed in golden leaves. Departing from Leh, capital of the Ladakh region, half of my journey had already passed when I arrived in Zanskar. Leh is about 220 km and a seven-hour ride from Kargil, gateway to Zanskar. After staying the night in Kargil, we made another twelve- hour trip on a 240 km mountain road arriving in Padum. Up to the high valley, Padum Padum lies deep within the pristine Zanskar region of India and is a small, secluded town located near the confluence of the Doda Fork, Tsarap and Zanskar rivers, in the basin 3,600 m above sea level, surrounded by mountain peaks where time has left them scarred with ice and wind. Padum is located in the heart of Zanskar, with a population near 1,000 people. The inhabitants are primarily Buddhists; however, similar to Kargil, Padum is also under the control of Sunni Muslims. Here, Buddhism and Islam exist in parallel. TRAVELLIVE 8

It's hard to forget the feeling of sitting on a slow walking camel in the middle of an immense desert, where dunes stretch to infinity, when golden light glistens in the afternoon and a sudden whirlwind rolls over in dark dust. Even the feeling of dull lasting pain from a two-hour camel ride in Morocco is difficult to forget. It's like sitting on a bicycle saddle and riding that bike through a pot-poled path. Taking pictures via camel is also no easy task due to the wobbly position. If you desire desert pictures with the walking camel corps, you should jump to the ground, sustain blasts of sandy wind whipping your face and run after the corps to take photos.

food&beverage Good morning HANOI Text and photos: Ngoc Tran Rise early and take a walk around the Old Quarter to see how Hanoians greet the morning! Hanoians love to fill their stomachs with a good traditional breakfast. Choose from a variety of delicious breakfast options from rice noodle filled soups, to different types of vermicelli noodles, to sticky rice, to p©tä with bread as well as rib porridges and balut. All you have to do is pick a street stall, sit down on the plastic stool on the sidewalk, and enjoy your favorite breakfast. 46 TRAVELLIVE

food&beverage Y ou can find a number of popular food stalls on Hang Bong, Hang Gai, and Hang Dao where their longstanding reputation attracts long queues of customers every morning. Hanoi's staple dish is the famous 'phÎ' with options ranging from beef to chicken, to beef stew noodle soups, all using a fragrant semi-clear broth made from pork or chicken bones and a number of spices. A bowl of 'phÎ' never looks more tempting than with thin cuts of beef or chicken and green onions fresh and aromatic in the morning air. Squeeze in a bit of lime juice, add chili sauce and garlic vinegar to your soup to get the finest flavor and enjoy your 'phÎ' in all of its glory. 'B∏nh cuËn' or rolled-rice noodle is another favorite dish of Hanoians that takes some time to make, but it is totally worth the wait when the lady steams the rice batter, rolls them into sheets with cooked seasoned ground pork, adds dried onions, and brings it to your table. It's simple, but incredibly satisfying. If you are too busy in the morning, try the cheap and delicious p©tä with breads, sticky rice with fried eggs, mungbean sticky rice, or 'x´i khÛc' (stuffed sticky rice) for a quick breakfast on the go. Hanoi in the morning is probably at its most mesmerizing with different smells of food inviting you to sit down and order some of the most amazing breakfast dishes while the rest of the world still slowly wakes. It's a rare glimpse of a calmer, simpler, more tranquil Hanoi. TRAVELLIVE 47
