The hunt for the youngest and most talented Vietnamese fashion designers started last year where over 3000 budding fashion designers from all over the country, submitted there designs based on the concept of the global traveller. Out of the 3000 designers the judging panel gathered together in March 2011 to select finalists who were required to put their ideas into production.
