A film crew from the HCM City Television Film Studio accompanied by fashion designers has made a documentary on the garments worn by Vietnam’s royals and commoners in the past. 

The 24-part film, directed by Nguyen Hai Anh, took them to museums in China, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Belgium and 33 provinces in Vietnam to study costumes seen on ancient statues and pictures and on the Dong Son Civilisation.
