On 3/6, the organizing committee announced 15 designers and brands participating in the event, themed "Pure Fashion In Motion". Alongside established names like Do Manh Cuong, Adrian Anh Tuan, Nguyen Minh Tuan, and Dang Trong Minh Chau, the runway will welcome a host of local brands for the first time, embodying a spirit of constant evolution.

Trang Le, president of Vietnam International Fashion Week, stated that amidst the fashion industry's continuous movement, young talents are demonstrating creativity, breaking boundaries, and pursuing unique styles. "We are not only creating a platform for young talents to showcase their skills but also placing our trust in this new generation to make their mark and elevate Vietnamese fashion globally", she said.

While opening slots in previous years were typically reserved for renowned, experienced designers, this year the organizing committee selected Moi Dien, a brand popular for its groundbreaking style. Moi Dien will present the "Nguon" collection, telling a story about the convergence of contemporary fashion and the Gen Z spirit. Designer Tom Trandt expressed both pressure and excitement about his debut at the event.

Stylist Kelbin Lei has managed the Nobody Knows brand for over two years but has not yet had the opportunity to stage a solo show. Through Vietnam International Fashion Week, he aims to introduce his products and learn from veteran designers for further development.

Do Manh Cuong was chosen to close the show. He announced that he would bring a "fresh breeze" to the event with a dynamic collection. According to him, as the fashion industry grows, designers have increasing opportunities to connect their brands with the public in various ways. Designer Adrian Anh Tuan advised young talents that while embracing global trends, they must also preserve their unique culture and identity.

In late May, the organizing committee conducted several casting sessions. Miss Ngoc Chau shared her appreciation for the fresh energy brought by hundreds of non-professional models.

Established in 2014, Vietnam International Fashion Week has become an eagerly anticipated event for fashion enthusiasts. Each year, the organizing committee selects Spring Summer and Autumn Winter seasons to showcase collections based on specific themes.
