Drawing Vietnamese fashion on the world map

“I am in the process of designing designs for early 2024. This collection is inspired by Vietnamese women and our country’s cultural values,” Phan Dang Hoang excitedly said. The designer, born in 2000, launched his own brand in Milan in 2022, officially becoming the youngest Vietnamese to make a mark in international fashion . Before Hoang, generations of Vietnamese designers have worked tirelessly to put Vietnamese fashion on the world map.

In just 2 years, Phan Dang Hoang has become a new talent of Vietnamese fashion. Graduating with a major in fashion at NABA University in Milan, Dang Hoang quickly had shows at Milan Fashion Week with collections that have a different personality. The Quintessence collection was inspired by traditional Vietnamese craft villages; the A dose of joy collection is a fabric juggling from a folk game; the Mirage collection brings a surreal Northwest to the international stage; the Sculpture collection is a meeting between Vietnamese fashion and sculpture...

In September 2023, Phan Dang Hoang brought the Sculpture collection to Milan Fashion Week 2023. He is the first Vietnamese designer to perform with the world's leading fashion houses such as Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Armani.

Previously, designer Tran Hung made the Vietnamese public proud because he had 10 collections at London Fashion Week. Tran Hung believes that the responsibility of designers does not stop at creating beautiful clothes, but more importantly, they must carry the story of Vietnam. For him, it is the story of culture hidden behind each collection, sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion. "Internationally, if we do not have Vietnamese qualities, it will be difficult to identify ourselves," he said.

Vietnamese fashion has a strong and unique voice on the international stage; at the same time, welcoming the wave of young creatives, which has contributed to promoting the country's fashion industry to new developments. Many Vietnamese designers are "remembered and called by name" by international fashion weeks and stars.

Since conquering New York Fashion Week in 2019, Cong Tri has become a familiar name to many Hollywood superstars as well as world celebrities.

In the dream of making Vietnamese fashion famous in the world, the most prominent names are: Adrian Anh Tuan, Phuong My, Hoang Hai, Thuy Nguyen, Do Manh Cuong, Tran Hung, Nguyen Minh Tuan, Phan Dang Hoang, Kelly Bui, Tran Phuong Hoa, Ivan Tran, Huynh Hai Long, Dang The Huy... After finishing the show at New York Fashion Week Spring - Summer 2024, designer Do Manh Cuong continued to have his second show in the US. In early December, designer Tran Phuong Hoa introduced 2 collections in Australia inspired by the nature and culture of Vietnam - Australia. Designer Nguyen Minh Tuan revealed that in early 2024, he will organize the fashion show Dream come true with the participation of nearly 80 international beauty queens.

Projects, shows, and international fashion weeks in the country organized by Vietnamese people in recent times have been leading the fashion "game". After 16 seasons, AVIFW is the leading international fashion week in Southeast Asia and the 4th in Asia, after Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai International Fashion Week.

Internationally, if we do not have Vietnamese qualities, it will be difficult to identify ourselves. That is the identity that many designers have recognized and are on the journey to draw the position of Vietnamese fashion on the world map.
