Collection: HY PHUONG

The HY PHUONG look

The mandarin collar is the house signature. The Ha Vu Mandarin Top and the Bang Vu Mandarin Top are structured straight-cut tops with the collar and a row of small buttons. The Dien Huong Crossover Mandarin Neck Velvet Top turns the same neckline into a crossover front in velvet, and the Thieu Hoa Trapezoid Mandarin Neck Organza Ankle Length Dress stretches it into a long trapeze dress. Handwork appears on the Kim Cuc Embroidery Top, a straight blouse with floral embroidery and beads, and on the Ngoc Lan Applique Top with hand-applied floral applique.

Bottoms are tailored straight pants in the Luc Binh Straight Pants and Thai Thuy Straight Pants, with floor-length versions in the Cam Vien Straight Wide Leg Silk Floor Length Pants and the Thach Thao Straight Wide Leg Velvet Floor Length Pants. The Luc Hoa Wide Sleeve Coat is an A-line coat with wide sleeves. Fabric names sit in the newer titles: the Kim Mai Straight Sleeveless Brocade Top, the Tuong Van Straight See-Through Organza Top and the Phu Quy Tunic Sleeveless Silk Ankle Length Dress show the range of textures.

Capsule and separates

Most of the brand's work at MEAN BLVD sits in Lien Hoa Tinh Nguyet Collection - HY PHUONG, where tops and pants share first names and are cut to be worn together: the Luc Hoa Draped Top with the Luc Hoa Straight Pants, the Lam Khue Mandarin Top with the Lam Khue Straight Pants. For the store-wide edit, see tops and pants.

When to wear HY PHUONG

Customers buy these pieces for festive occasions, New Year, Women's Day and family celebrations, and wear the plain mandarin tops to the office. The long-sleeved brocade and velvet tops with floor-length pants give full coverage with a formal finish, which makes them a practical option for Gulf customers who dress modestly. The silk tops and ankle-length dresses are the vacation pieces.

How does HY PHUONG fit?

Tops are straight or gently fitted rather than stretchy, with a composed drape. Mandarin collars sit close at the neck, so check the neck measurement if you like a looser collar. Straight pants are tailored through the hip and fall clean to the ankle; the floor-length versions are cut for heels. Sizes run on the brand's own chart, listed on each product page.

Where else should I look?

If the traditional reference is what draws you, the ao dai collection at MEAN BLVD gathers Vietnamese traditional dress from several labels. For long-sleeved and high-neck pieces across the store, see the modest edit.
