VTV.vn - The 4th Vietnam Junior Fashion Week which featured different categories of children's clothing took place in Ho Chi Minh City on October 13-15.

This is one of the few fashion shows that feature models aged 3 to 17 in Vietnam.  A fashion show for families that featured clothes for different ages was also organised as part of the junior fashion week.

120 mother and child, grandmother and grandchildren pairs portrayed the beauty of motherhood in a fashion collection from eight designers.


More than 150 items of clothing for boys and girls, created by dozens of foreign and domestic fashion houses and garment companies, will be on display.

The event aimed to encourage Vietnamese fashion houses and designers to develop their own children’s clothing lines, a segment in the industry that has been lacking in recent years.

“The VJFW 2017 will help to promote Vietnamese brand names and sales, said Xuân Lan, one of the members of the event’s organising board.

Lan owns Xuan Lan’s Model Agency, an institute of modelling and acting, which offers training courses for fashion modelling, catwalk and photography.

“We will seek new talent for the catwalk through the VJFW and later help them become professional in the future,” she said.

Last year, several thousand parents and children viewed and shared comments on the event’s websites and online forums.

The VJFW 2017 will take place at Gem Centre in District 1’s Nguyen Binh Khiem Street.
