Dam Vinh Hung’s Ill-fashion

It seems like the only thing Dam Vinh Hung can brag about these days is his obsessions with brand-name design: “I got a small suitcase for $2,000.” Wow! I am so impressed. In another interview, he said that he dropped 35 Gs on designers’ clothes. I am sure he can spend that much with the kind of money he’s making, but the brand doesn’t make a man. In Lan Song Xanh 2005-2006, Mr. Dam hosted the show and changed clothes every time he appeared on stage. Yet, he looked ridiculous most of the time. When he performed “Bac Tinh,” dude rocked high boots, tight pants, and faux-fur scarf that goes with his Kangol-styled cap. I just can’t believe that fool blew all that money on those junks. If I were DVH, I would take five grants to get some Armani suits and invest the rest else or donate to the needy. Thirty Gs can feed many hungry children in Viet Nam. He’ll get more respect that way than the craps he puts on his scrawny, flapped figure.

Update: I found some photos on his site
The infamous “Bac Tinh” performance I mentioned.
Unmatching reds. I haven’t seen them red jeans since ’95.

    I think he has to work on his self-esteem.

  2. His clothing styles are so tragic and sad. I wonder if he ever uses a full length mirror when trying on new outfits.

  3. So this proves it, he is gay right?

    Anyway, I guess people in VN have different taste. He probably don’t have a stylist so he doesn’t know what he buy.

  4. Yes, Gay MAN is very good with clothes, make up, etc..but this guy is somewhere in other planets. I prefer to see VU LINH over him. The more he hides his identiy, the worst he is. He is also rude and violence if someone does not agree with him. Something is not right about this singer. Is he gay? Yes, he is 100% but so what.

  5. He wants to be different… His voice is OK and sometimes good as long as you don’t look at him. A similar singer here is “Tuan Anh” (not sure if I get the name right).

    I don’t care for how he dresses or what he chooses to buy. Other people are like that too. Oh, was reading an online Vietnamese website this morning. Hong Ngoc spent shit load of money on things like that too.

  7. It’s not jus DVH, I think most of the young rich Vietnamese are the same way-very superficial. When I was back in VN not too long ago, I saw people walking aroung with sunglasses that still had the plastic logo on the lenses (you know the kinds that’s not edged in). I asked if that was a trend. They said that they left it on so people know what brand it was. It’s all about “do hieu”. “Do hieu moi sang, moi mod.” Oh, give me a break. Why would anyone spend over $2000 for a purse? Not this chick.

  8. I must have admitted that DVH’s money is not well spent. He does not look good from provided links. However, it’s his money, he can do whatever he wants to do with it. The fact that he has tons of money to waste on his “ill-fashion” clothes and accessories proves that he must have done something right. It’s hard to argue with success. I like Elton John’s music, but I don’t like the way he dresses himself. I am sure none of people who have made the annual Mr. Blackwell’s list http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,18120,00.html thinks they should be on that list. The only crime that DVH makes, I think, is to brag about it. It’s just plain stupid. Different strokes for different folks. Let’s move on.

  9. I bet those of you don’t like DVH also don’t like Michele Jackson. What is the matter with you? Envy of the rich or something? The reason why people in the entertainment industry spend that much money for clothing is that because it is part of their business. Hope you understand.

  10. How is this post remotely related to “envy of the rich” ? Wouldn’t Bill Gates or any of the Hollywood celebrities be a better target ? Just DVH’s artistic judgement based on how he boasted about his profuse spending on them garments and accessories in a manner indicative of his so-called immense wealth and superb stylistic tendency here. It’s sad how he ties monetary values to the embodiments of good taste. Money can buy posh, expensive, high-end clothes but it can’t offer refinement or effortless elegance. There IS a difference. Bottom line is, when one’s blessed with affluence, spend it with style and the discernment of power. Let your attire speaks for itself, idiot.

  11. DVH is a vain posing bitch, noone will get an argument from me. However, that stage settings were brutal. I don’t think anybody looked decent on it, saved one. Starting from themeless Mr. Screen (©Pink Floyd) to aimless disco neon lights with all rainbow colors blazing throughout, noone could have dressed “right” for that. Close-up shots of the singers were even worse.

    The one exception was Mỹ Tâm. The way she dressed still popped out, together with her crazy-metal-head-spinning move (old stick, I know, but still a damn good stick especially because she was really good at it) made her act quite exciting. I wish she would do some real rock&roll, not the bullsh*t rock like her latest album. This girl got style, and a good voice.

  12. In the above post, by stick, I meant schtick, of courses.

    (Aw, shut up!)

  13. I always get a good laugh at his clothes. The guy needs a STYLISH.

  14. LOL I do agree with you guys. He really does need a stylist. Considering how he looks right now, he seriously needs one right now!
