Designer Vo Cong Khanh to open Vietnam International Fashion Week 2024
Vo Cong Khanh, one of the nation’s leading designers, will open the Vietnam International Fashion Week 2024 which will be held from June 13 to June 16 in Ho Chi Minh City.
His collection “Masterpiece Of Water” is set to kick off the fashion event with the theme of #FashionEvolution as it aims to promote the sustainability of the Vietnamese fashion industry.
Mekong Delta native Khanh, 41, is a graduate of the Dong Nai College of Decorative Arts. His first recognition was winning the Vietnam Collection Grand Prix 2002, whilst the very next year he had the chance to work alongside French fashion designer Stéphane Rolland.
In 2007, he entered the final of the Asian Young Fashion Designers with collection “Những Giọt Nước” (Water Drops).
He has released several collections, including “Trúc Mai” (Bamboo and Ochna Flower), “Con Cò” (Stork), and “Butterfly” at events like the Vietnam Fashion Week, Elle Fashion Show, and Hue Festival.
Khanh also opened the Vietnam International Fashion Week 2022 with his collection called “H2O” featuring dozens of ready-to-wear designs.
The Vietnam International Fashion Week was first held back in 2014 and quickly became the leading fashion event in ASEAN. In terms of Asia, it ranks as the fourth largest show behind only Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai fashion weeks.
