Promoting Cultural Exchange Among Young People

One significant aspect of this event series is its focus on providing support to emerging Vietnamese designers and fostering a culture of creativity in Vietnam.

According to Charrier, the main objective of the season is to captivate the younger demographic. To achieve this, the fashion nights will primarily highlight Vietnamese models and designs instead of exclusively featuring French models and brands.

This event will also mark the inauguration of Mr. Charrier as the newly appointed director of the French Institute in Ho Chi Minh City.

In a recent interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper, Charrier expressed her main goal of promoting French culture in Vietnam. She emphasized that culture is a vast concept, which includes language, arts, and various other aspects.

The French Institute places significant importance on promoting and facilitating cultural exchange among young individuals.

According to Charrier, France has a strong interest in Vietnamese youth due to their sizable population. As a result, the French Institute organizes cultural activities that are closely aligned with the youth both presently and in the future.

The Fashion and Design season presents a vibrant opportunity for the convergence of French and Vietnamese fashion cultures, promoting mutual understanding and collaboration within the realm of style and design.

“The remarkable fashion event commemorates a significant achievement in the long-standing collaboration between France and Vietnam, offering an exciting year filled with creativity, inspiration, and innovation,” she stated.
