HSU Joins Viet Nam’s 81st National Day Celebration in Singapore
On August 24, 2026, Singapore became a gathering place for Vietnamese pride and cultural connection as the Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore hosted a celebration of the 81st National Day Anniversary of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, welcoming leaders, government representatives, diplomats, businesses, and the Vietnamese community.
The celebration also drew representatives from the Singaporean government, diplomatic missions, businesses, and the Vietnamese intellectual community in Singapore.
The celebration also featured TSAFARI ASEAN Heritage Show 2026 by designer Ho Tran Da Thao, Founder of Tsafari, showcasing designs inspired by the Ao Dai and Vietnamese culture and bringing Viet Nam’s fashion heritage to an international audience.
As a program partner, Hoa Sen University (HSU) was represented by Mr. Tran Minh Nhut, MA, Director of the HSU Fashion Design Program. Through its participation, HSU expands opportunities to engage with international fashion networks while connecting fashion education with professional practice and multicultural creative spaces.
Strengthening Global Engagement in Fashion Education
At HSU, connecting education with industry and international practice is an important part of preparing students for the fashion sector. This approach is reflected in its collaboration with Mod’Art International in Paris, France (2010 – 2020), followed by its ongoing partnership with Collège de Paris, France (since 2020) in developing Fashion Design and Fashion Business programs.
These connections bring learners closer to the creative and business dimensions of the fashion industry in an international environment, while showing how cultural identity can be transformed into a source of creative inspiration.
The story of Vietnamese fashion continues to travel beyond Viet Nam, with Singapore providing another space for international exchange. For HSU, this participation strengthens connections between education and industry, while giving students greater exposure to global fashion trends and creative practices.
