Phan Huy Becomes Youngest, First Vietnamese on Paris Haute Couture Calendar

The FHCM invitation caps a swift rise for a three-year-old Vietnamese label built on meticulous handmade craft.

Overview

  • The Spring/Summer 2026 show delivered airy eveningwear in muslin and tulle with hand-stitched floral and beaded work inspired by Vietnam’s Nguyễn dynasty.
  • The runway presentation in western Paris went ahead Thursday after designs delayed in customs were released in time for fittings.
  • France’s couture federation FHCM awarded the brand an official slot after an off-schedule Paris showing in 2024.
  • Founded less than three years ago, the label has grown to about 70 staff despite operating with far fewer resources than legacy houses.
  • The company emphasizes make-to-order couture, in-house fabric development and sustainability, while building an Asia-led clientele and preparing a Ho Chi Minh City flagship.
