Dream in Vein - Voluminous Sleeves Royal Indigo Aodai

A contemporary take on the timeless aodai, Dream in Vein embodies the surreal energy of a dream etched in motion—where boldness and symbolism collide in sculptural form. This piece reimagines tradition through a daring artistic lens, transforming the national silhouette into a vessel of self-expression.

Design: This modern aodai features a dramatically ruched voluminous sleeve that anchors the look with theatrical flair. Cut-outs at the waist subtly reveal structure beneath flow, while the front panel elongates the form in fluid symmetry. The hand-painted artwork—surreal and electric in hues of acid green and luminous aqua—courses through the fabric like veins of vision, with each stroke embodying emotion in motion.
