The first ever fashion week in Laos was launched with a gala reception welcoming international guests and showcasing the innovative creations of local designers March 5th 2014, in Vientiane.
Founder of Lao Fashion Week and the Young Designers Development Project Pany Saignavongs told that now is an exciting time for the country's fashion and design industry.
The fashion week aims to provide up-and-coming designers with access to an international style catwalk fashion festival. Lao designers will be able to exhibit their designs and brands in front of the international community.
Throughout the week, organizers hope to dazzle and build international awareness of Laos' unique fashion and textiles industry.
Designers are hoping to make an impression with the country's unique cultural and design identity
Laos has beautiful silk, beautiful textiles. This event allows people to see how beautiful textiles are and how they can use them not only in Laos but internationally
There are many Lao designers who are really talented but they have no opportunity to show their creations, this is the reason why was also launched The Young Designers Project, a charity program of the Lao Fashion Week, aims to raise fund to support young talented designers in Laos. The project’s objectives are to help young and talented Lao designers to establish in Fashion and Design industries through supporting funding for their works, funding them to be able to join Lao Fashion Week and sponsoring them to further their studies in designs in international academies abroad in all relating subjects in fashion and design fields. This meaningful project is one of the most important human resource development projects in Laos, giving a platform and opportunities for young Laotians to build their professional career lives, both in Laos and international level, and bringing their skills into the country’s design and fashion industries.
