Dinh Ba Design at Montreal Fashion Week 2005

Dinh Ba is an accomplished designer whose collections have won over sophisticated young women from Paris to Montreal, thanks to their originality and a clean classic style. His spring-summer 2006 collection is inspired by romanticism, fluid lines and a subtle oriental elegance.

Dinh Ba Design in the Montreal Record

Paris to Montreal is the label's axis: classic, clean design softened by romanticism and an oriental inflection. Dinh Ba Design returned on the March 2006 roster, one of the core labels presenting in both seasons of this record.

The full Montreal rosters frame this page: the 2005 designer list names seventeen designers, and the March 2006 list continues the record with returning and new names. Designers who showed in both seasons can be followed across the two lists, and each designer's own website — where the record gives one — is carried in the references below.

'Won over sophisticated young women from Paris to Montreal' is a notable claim for an independent label, and it frames Dinh Ba's market precisely: young, urban, international. The spring-summer 2006 direction — romanticism, fluid lines, subtle oriental elegance — softens the clean classic style rather than replacing it, the evolution of a signature instead of a reinvention.
