Vietnamese fashion designer Phan Huy unveils first collection

Viet Nam's Phan Huy became the youngest-ever designer to present a collection on the official Haute Couture calendar in Paris on Thursday, rounding out a week of major fashion debuts and celebrity sightings.

His airy Spring/Summer 2026 collection of evening dresses made abundant use of light muslin and tulle fabric, as well as hand-stitched floral and beaded embellishments, all inspired by Viet Nam's former royal Nguyen dynasty. The last day of Haute Couture Week included shows by Saudi label Ashi Studio as well as Syrian designer Rami Al Ali, who joined the official schedule for the first-time last year.
