Tri, a member of the Asian Couture Federation (ACF), left a strong impression on audiences after showing Lua at the Tokyo Fashion Week 2016 last month.
The opening event will also feature Victoria Secret’s fashion model Sessille Lopez in a show of Harper’s Bazaar by Cory Couture.

Vietnamese fashion brand names such as Luala, IVYmoda and Canifa will also be featured.
The fashion week aims to help Vietnamese designers introduce themselves to the world’s fashion industry.
