A New Year, A Different Drama

For Tết, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, Uyen Saint-Tran photographed a fashion editorial in Vietnam inspired by the cinematic universe of Hong Kong films. Drawing from their theatrical storytelling, heightened emotions and unmistakable sense of style, the series imagines a world where fashion, tradition and fiction collide.

Between family rituals, unspoken tensions and dramatic encounters, the editorial borrows the atmosphere of classic Hong Kong cinema to tell a story that feels both nostalgic and unexpected. Characters dressed in contemporary fashion inhabit a world of old-world elegance, where every glance suggests a secret and every gesture hints at a larger narrative.

The series plays with the contrasts that make Tết so fascinating: tradition and reinvention, celebration and anticipation, the familiar and the extraordinary. A cinematic interpretation of the Lunar New Year, where Vietnamese cultural references meet the glamour, mystery and melodrama of Hong Kong cinema.
