Le Thi Quynh Trang, president of AVIFW and Council of ASEAN Fashion Designers (CAFD), said at a recent press conference in HCM City: “With the theme of 'Shining Life', VAIFW is expected to bring hope and optimism to everyone.”

“It’s time for us to be together to help Viet Nam’s fashion industry, which has been negatively affected by the pandemic, to overcome tough times. I believe Vietnamese fashion will revive strongly,” Trang said, adding that the organiser will exempt costs for hosting shows at AVIFW 2021 to all designers.

Designer Adrian Anh Tuan will open the AVIFW 2021 with his latest collection called “Cham” (Touching) featuring dozens of creations in luxury materials and printed patterns which are especially suited for men.

Tuan is well known for women’s ready-to-wear designs with his brand Valenciani. He has presented the latest styles and trends in multiple fashion shows at home and abroad, such as Đẹp Fashion Show, Elle Fashion Show and Vietnam International Fashion Week.

In June 2016, he debuted his collection called “The Superstar” in California, highlighting the beauty of modern Vietnamese women.

The catwalk performance featured 50 models, including Vietnamese top models Thanh Hang and Le Hang. All proceeds from the event were used for fresh water projects for children living in remote areas in Viet Nam.

In 2017, Tuan released "Away We Know -- Things we do for love", a collection of 50 designs to mark his 10 year-career in HCM City. The collection included charming and elegant creations in a 1960s style.

He introduced Fall-Winter 2021 collection, "Hen Ho" (Making a Date), in HCM City in October. It featured 40 ready-to-wear designs for women in Vietnamese and foreign materials.

The AVIFW 2021 will see the participation of other 12 Vietnamese famed designers and brands like Hoang Hai, Ivan Tran, Le Long Dung, and Nguyen Tien Truyen.

Designer Le Long Dung will bring to the event collections of áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dresses) to honour the Vietnamese traditional performing art of cải lương (reformed opera).

Top fashion models like Thanh Hang and fashion models from leading fashion and modelling agencies will take part in the catwalk.

The Vietnam International Fashion Week was first held in 2014, and quickly became the leading fashion event in ASEAN. It ranks fourth in Asia after Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai fashion weeks.

The AVIFW 2021 will be held at Capital Studio at 212 Ly Chinh Thang Street in District 3.
