On the evening of June 20, fashion enthusiasts witnessed the debut of DEPA (Designer Emerging Partnership Association) with its first show. The event marked an important first step for the association of young designers with an independent and creative spirit, aiming to build a Vietnamese fashion industry with identity and sustainability.

Stars such as Jun Pham, Toc Tien, Ai Phuong, BB Tran, runner-up Thao Nhi Le and many famous fashionistas attended the event.

Attending the event, Toc Tien stood out with a black mini dress with a halter neck and a layered tulle skirt in a punk ballet style, combined with a pixie haircut and matte red lipstick to create a classic yet rebellious look. Jun Pham chose a punk style with a white shirt with an embroidered vest and dark skirt pants.

The show has the theme 'Transforming the individual based on the original creative roots' with 5 collections from designers: Quach Dac Thang, Minh Duc Nguyen, Quy Cao, Elena Nguyen and Huyen Bui.

Quach Dac Thang opened with No season 2026: 245KM , recreating a commemorative album through the stages of life. Minh Tu appeared in a 3D couture outfit made of lace combined with embossed transparent plastic. The collection moved from the Gothic sound of childhood, through the edgy adulthood with tight dresses, cut-out details, to metallic silver white.

Quy Cao brings The beetle with the spirit of modern menswear and unconventional streetwear, inspired by beetles - a symbol of luck and rebirth in Egyptian culture. The highlight is the handmade ceramic beetle details integrated into the outfit, honoring the value of traditional craftsmanship.

Elena Nguyen introduces XI collection: Setsuka with 19 designs that are a dialogue between samurai and stone flowers. The dominant white and gray tones create a feeling of ice but full of weight. The layers of sheer and organza fabrics are processed to form blocks like hazy armor, expressing the intersection between strength and fragility.

Minh Duc Nguyen presents Last Knights - FW25. The loose, unisex design with exaggerated shoulders uses faux leather, canvas, organza and 3D panels simulating armor. Accessories from helmets, black fabric flags to 3D winged box bags complete the unique overall look.

Huyen Bui closed with Everywhen, everynow inspired by original hip hop, exploiting the image of dinosaurs with a color palette from black, cement gray to bright red. Unique printed denim material, delicately hand-embroidered Lanh My A silk. The last model also created an impressive effect when burning the hem of her dress on stage.
