The world’s largest atypical runway space, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, will witness the next radiant appearance of child model Nguyen Tam Dan at Asia Open Runway Seoul The 16th LBMA 2026. Appearing in a magnificent pink design inspired by “Vuon Dia Dang” (Garden of Eden), the young model from Quang Ninh promises to bring a refreshing breeze filled with vitality and confident stage presence before leading fashion experts from across Asia.
The journey to go global from a 6-year-old
Nguyen Tam Dan, a six-year-old girl from Quang Ninh, is steadily affirming her presence on major fashion stages both domestically and internationally. Showing artistic talent from the age of three, Tam Dan possesses strong musical sensitivity and a natural, captivating performance style. Her high level of focus and eagerness to learn helped her secure First Prize at an internal fashion performance competition—laying a solid foundation for greater milestones ahead.
Following her success at Taipei International Fashion Week 2026 in Taipei, Tam Dan has officially earned her place among the Vietnamese child models appearing at Asia Open Runway Seoul The 16th LBMA 2026. This internationally scaled children’s fashion event in Asia gathers promising young talents, designers, and prestigious modeling academies from various countries. Her participation once again highlights the growth and rising appeal of Vietnam’s new generation of child models on the regional fashion map.
Striding at the DDP architectural icon
The event takes place at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) — the world’s largest atypical architectural structure and a cultural as well as fashion icon of Seoul. Performing in such an internationally acclaimed venue is a valuable opportunity for Tam Dan to gain experience and further define her personal style.
The program runs from March 6 to 8, 2026, organized by renowned units such as The Look C&C and LBMA STAR E&M. With patronage from the International Model Association (under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea) and the Happy People Organization (under the Ministry of Gender Equality & Family), Asia Open Runway Seoul The 16th LBMA 2026 promises a highly professional and artistically rich runway platform.
The “muse” in Dac Ngoc Designer House’s Garden of Eden
On the official show night of March 7, Nguyen Tam Dan will take on the role of runway model for the “Vuon Dia Dang” (Garden of Eden) collection by Dac Ngoc Designer House.
Her outfit is a skillful blend of dreamy vibrant pink hues and the elegance of a classic flared silhouette. The highlight lies in the stylized shoulder cape inspired by contemporary architectural elements, allowing the young model to exude a sense of regal charm while still preserving the innocence of her age. This image perfectly reflects the spirit of the “Vuon Dia Dang” collection—where the beauty of nature harmoniously intertwines with human creativity.
Continuing the conquest of international-caliber stages
To be present in Seoul this time, Tam Dan has undergone rigorous training, graduating from Xuan Lan Academy and currently serving as a Global Ambassador for Valentines Vancouture – Valentines Academy. The guidance of experienced mentors has helped her refine both her runway techniques and her confidence in front of the camera.
Despite her busy training schedule, Tam Dan continues to maintain strong academic performance at school. Balancing artistic passion with formal education remains a top priority for both her family and teachers. Speaking about the upcoming show, the young model expressed excitement and determination to give her best in appreciation of the support from fans and partner organizations.
After making impressive appearances in several countries, continuing to collaborate with designer Dac Ngoc—whom Tam Dan admires as a fashion idol—demonstrates both her strong professional bond and long-term potential. Her trip to South Korea this March will undoubtedly mark another radiant milestone, helping her write new chapters in her journey toward conquering prestigious international runways.
