Serving as Student Model Ambassador at Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026, Hoang Thi Thuy Nhung, 1st Runner-up of Miss SFL 2025 (Thai Nguyen University School of Foreign Languages), embodies a generation of students who are proactive, eager to learn, and unafraid of challenges. Her journey reflects a story of personal growth shaped by academic pursuits, community engagement, and a passion for self-discovery.
GFW All Stars 2026 and a connecting space for the young generation
Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 will take place from July 30 to August 2, 2026, at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Hanoi. Developed from Vietnam International Junior Fashion Week after eight years of growth, this year’s program expands its scale through the participation of three communities—All Stars, Junior, and Student—creating a platform for exchange among fashion, creativity, education, and community engagement initiatives.
In addition to fashion collections and professional runway showcases, the event places special emphasis on the student community through activities focused on talent selection, networking, skill development, and career opportunities. As part of this journey, young representatives who embody a dynamic, confident, and globally minded generation of students play an important role in this year’s fashion week. One of the faces officially announced as a Student Model Ambassador for Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 is Hoang Thi Thuy Nhung, an English Language student at the School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University.
Maturing from youth experiences
Rather than limiting herself to the academic environment, Hoang Thi Thuy Nhung has actively participated in a wide range of extracurricular activities to develop her skills and broaden her experiences. She currently serves as Vice President of the Reception and Diplomacy Club at her university while also taking part in various events as an MC.
These activities have helped Thuy Nhung build confidence, strengthen her communication skills, and develop a professional working style. They have also provided a solid foundation for her journey of exploring the fields of arts and performance.
One of the most memorable milestones in her journey so far is earning the title of 1st Runner-up at Miss SFL 2025 – School of Foreign Languages Student Pageant. Beyond recognizing her personal efforts, this achievement has become a source of motivation for her to continue challenging herself in new environments where she can learn, grow, and further develop her potential.
When fashion becomes the language of confidence
For Thuy Nhung, fashion began with an appreciation for beauty and a desire to explore new aspects of herself. Through each experience, she came to realize that fashion is not merely about clothing but also a means of expressing one’s personality, mindset, and unique story.
This perspective led her to take on the role of Student Model Ambassador at Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026. For Thuy Nhung, the position provides an opportunity to connect with other young people who share the same passion, gain insights into the professional fashion industry, and promote the image of dynamic and confident students in an increasingly globalized world.
According to her, today’s students need to cultivate a proactive mindset, self-confidence, and a commitment to continuous learning in order to be ready for greater opportunities and challenges. In addition to academic knowledge, foreign language proficiency, communication skills, and the ability to adapt to multicultural environments are also essential assets that can help young people broaden their prospects for growth and development.
Spreading positive messages for the nationwide student community
In pursuing her personal goals, Thuy Nhung has always embraced the motto: “Bloom at your own pace.” She hopes to share this message with young people who are searching for opportunities and striving to establish themselves.
According to Thuy Nhung, everyone has a different starting point and grows at a different pace. What truly matters is not comparing oneself to others, but remaining persistent on the journey of self-improvement. Every experience and every challenge brings valuable lessons that help young people mature and develop.
By participating in Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026, Thuy Nhung hopes to meet many talented individuals, learn more about runway skills and professional working standards, and broaden her understanding of the creative industry. At the same time, she aims to present the image of a young, ambitious Foreign Languages student who is willing to step outside her comfort zone and embrace new challenges. With this spirit, Hoang Thi Thuy Nhung represents not only the student community at Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 but also a generation of young people who actively create opportunities for themselves, continuously seek knowledge, and confidently pursue their passions.
