“From 19 to 23 March 2024, LSBU Hub will be transformed with a pop-up exhibition where visitors can immerse themselves into a giant sketchbook of Lan Huong, learn how her ramie collection is made and how ramie has led to revolutions in industries, from furniture to agriculture. All exhibition visitors will also be able to have their say about the future of green fashion and contribute their ideas.”
