Global Junior Fashion Week 2025: Platform connecting global junior talents
Global Junior Fashion Week (GJFW) 2025 – the prestigious international children’s fashion event – will officially take place on June 28–29 at the Hanoi Museum. Organized by Voyage Group, in collaboration with the Hanoi Museum, the Vietnam Martyr Families Support Association, and 5G Multimedia, the event is supported by the International Cooperation Department (Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism), the Vietnam Record Association, and accompanied by prestigious international organizations such as CICON, MARVELS, FCA, and Korea CEO Summit.
With the theme “The Celestial Symphony”, GJFW 2025 not only celebrates the beauty of fashion but also spreads the message of living in harmony with nature, connecting communities, and nurturing the desire for sustainable development. In addition to professional runway shows, the event will feature many traditional cultural experience activities and the launch of the Global Junior Supermodel 2025 competition, aimed at discovering and showcasing outstanding child models from around the world.
Prominent young figure in Vietnamese fashion
From the border region of Lang Son, Tran Ngoc Yen – a 4th-grade student at Dong Dang Primary School (Cao Loc District) – has gradually made a name for herself on the international children’s fashion map. Not only is she an outstanding all-round student for several consecutive years, but Ngoc Yen is also a familiar face in major art programs and fashion shows across the country.
From a young age, Yen demonstrated remarkable artistic talent through acting, dance, and music competitions. She won Second Prize at the district-level “Co diu hien sang tao – Be khoe dep tai nang” (Creative Teacher – Talented Student) contest, First Prize in the “Giai Dieu Tuoi Hong” (Melodies of Youth) contest when she was in 2nd grade, and continued to win First Prize at the provincial level at the 2024 Summer Camp with a team performance in acting and dance.
Coming second-to-none on stages, Ngoc Yen has participated in multiple fashion shows and regularly held the roles of first face or vedette. Some prominent examples include “Tinh Hoa Dat Rong” (Essence of the Dragon Land), “Xuan Xanh” (Green Spring), “Xu So Uoc Mo” (Dreamland), “Dau An Viet Nam” (Vietnam Remarks), or “Le Hoi Hoa Phuong Do – Ton Vinh Ban Sac Viet” (Red Flamboyant Flower Festival – Celebrating Vietnamese Identity). In many shows, she has been entrusted with the role of Image Representative – a recognition of her talent, aura and professionalism as a real model kid.
