Young model Alina Le has officially been announced as an Image Representative of Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026. The event is held as part of a strategic partnership with Vietnam Event & Exhibition Week 2026 (VEEW). Having previously walked the runway for leading Vietnamese fashion designers as well as international fashion shows, Alina Le will take on the opening performance for Global Junior Fashion Week on August 1, 2026. This new role represents not only an opportunity for the seven-year-old model to further develop her stage skills but also a significant challenge in her young career.
Honing catwalk skills through a series of diplomatic events
Alina Le (birth name Le Bao Quyen) was born into a distinguished Vietnamese family, with a grandfather who is an engineer, a grandmother who is a Meritorious Teacher, and parents who are entrepreneurs. This strong family foundation has enabled the Sunshine Maple Bear International School student to develop artistic talents from an early age in disciplines such as piano, ballet, and runway modeling. The unwavering support and encouragement of her family have helped her remain confident, relaxed, and full of energy whenever she takes on new challenges.
Although she is still relatively new to the fashion industry, Alina Le has already built an impressive portfolio of achievements. She was the youngest child model to appear at the Vietnam–Korea Friendship Cultural Festival 2024, held on Le Loi Boulevard, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Her professional runway presence, combined with her natural charm, earned widespread recognition from industry professionals during her very first appearance on a major stage.
At this major international cultural event, Alina Le made a strong impression by opening the runway as the First Face, alongside The Face Champion Huynh Tu Anh, in fashion designer Thach Linh’s collection, “Hoa Non Nuoc” (The Beauty of Vietnam’s Mountains and Waters). She has also appeared in a Gucci fashion show in Hangzhou, China, and participated in the National Costume Showcase held as part of Miss Cosmo 2024. The experience she has gained from both domestic and international runways has established a solid foundation for her growing career and earned the trust of international producers.
An elevated caliber after 8 years of development
Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 traces its origins to Vietnam International Junior Fashion Week, which was established in 2018. Entering its eighth year, the event has officially adopted an integrated operational model that connects three creative communities: All Stars, Junior, and Student. This year, Vietnam serves as the host nation, creating broader opportunities to strengthen connections between domestic fashion brands and the international fashion network.
The event will take place from July 30 to August 2, 2026, at the main stage of the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC), one of the largest event and exhibition complexes in Southeast Asia. Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 (GFWAS 2026) is organized as part of a strategic partnership with Vietnam Event & Exhibition Week 2026 (VEEW). This year’s fashion week is expected to bring together more than 30 fashion brands, alongside hundreds of beauty queens, runners-up, male pageant titleholders, and representatives from numerous countries.
One of the defining features of GFWAS 2026 is its dynamic stage concept, in which a central stage is reconfigured each day through changes in spatial layout, runway design, and lighting systems. This innovative approach creates three distinct presentation environments, offering audiences a fresh, immersive, and highly creative experience throughout the fashion week.
Noble responsibilities of an Image Representative
As an Image Representative of the event, Alina Le will take part in an intensive schedule of activities throughout the four-day fashion week. From the very beginning of the campaign, the young model will participate in the production of the event’s official promotional TV commercial and the photoshoot for its official poster campaign. This will provide her with the opportunity to work alongside renowned celebrities and international ambassadors.
During the opening night of the fashion week, Alina Le will appear in her role as an Image Representative to welcome domestic delegations and international guests. Joining established stars in the event’s key promotional activities further highlights the growing presence and media appeal of this promising young model.
The most significant highlight of the exclusive opportunities associated with this role will be a specially choreographed opening performance for Global Junior Fashion Week, scheduled for August 1, 2026. The performance will be directed by leading runway directors and fashion training experts, who will work closely with Alina Le to showcase her runway skills to their fullest potential. In addition, she will also attend the closing night of Global Student Fashion Week on August 2, 2026, as an honored guest.
Commitment to community activities
Alongside her runway appearances, the role of Image Representative also carries a strong sense of social responsibility. Alina Le has officially been appointed as a Global Ambassador for the charitable initiative “Ambassadors of Love.” The project is an integral part of the Global Fashion Week All Stars 2026 (GFWAS 2026) side program, aiming to connect the world of fashion with meaningful community outreach initiatives.
Alina Le’s appointment to this new role is expected to bring a fresh and youthful spirit to this year’s summer fashion week. It also provides the young model with an opportunity to challenge herself on an even larger stage while working alongside the organizing committee to promote meaningful social values through a series of charitable activities.
