Vietnamese designers Ha Linh Thu and La Hong left a strong impression at Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026, which was initiated by Supertalent World Group at the H4 Hall of the Wyndham Pleyel Resort Paris (France) on September 30.

This year’s event carried a global scale, attracting the participation of influential figures from the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and media.

Notably, Dr. Jamal Abdourahman, President of Vancouver Fashion Week (Canada) and an organiser of shows in New York, Paris, and Milan, was in attendance, underscoring the event’s prestige and international reach.

Among the highlights was the presence of two Vietnamese designers. Ha Linh Thu introduced her collection “Stairway to Heaven”, blending poetic elegance with a sense of lightness and dreamlike beauty. Meanwhile, Vietnamese-born designer La Hong, now based in Austria, showcased the traditional Ao Dai, integrating Viet Nam’s cultural heritage into the flow of global fashion. Their participation not only affirmed their individual talent but also helped promote Vietnamese culture to a worldwide audience.

Beyond artistry, the programme conveyed profound humanitarian values. A memorable moment came with a charity runway featuring a disabled model in a collection by designer Chona Bacaoco — a powerful statement of diversity, inclusion, and compassion in contemporary fashion.

With more than 15 years of organising fashion events across the world’s style capitals, Supertalent World has established Paris Fashion Week EXT as a launchpad for young talents to step into the realm of haute couture.

Following Paris, the journey will continue to Viet Nam with Paris Fashion Week by Supertalent World in Viet Nam, scheduled for October 14–24, 2025. The grand finale on October 24 at the Ascott West Lake complex in Ha Noi is expected to become Asia’s biggest fashion event of the year, drawing strong attention from fashion enthusiasts.

Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 not only brought together the finest in international fashion but also underscored cultural exchange, boundless creativity, and the aspiration for Vietnamese fashion to reach new heights on the world map.
