Highlights from the previous edition

VIATT 2025 hosted its first-ever Interior Design Roundtable and Networking: Sustainable Interiors with Smart Textiles, highlighting the latest fabric, technology, and sustainability initiatives in the interiors sector. Another addition, the inaugural 2025 VCICS – Vietnam Investment Summit, aimed to unlock new business opportunities between China and Vietnam. Meanwhile, The Future of Sustainability in Vietnam’s Fashion Industry explored Vietnam's design and sustainability.

In total, 11 seminars took place, covering the themes of Design & Trends, Market Information & Business Strategies, Innovation / Technology & Solutions, and Econogy, bringing international perspectives to educate and inspire the local market, as well as spotlighting Vietnam’s fashion and interior design landscape. Two well-attended, eye-catching fashion shows from Vietnamese and French designers, along with fashion parades and garment display zones, also attracted the attention of global visitors.

Distinctive brand speakers in 2025

What our speakers say

“Currently, the Vietnamese fashion industry is on the rise and pays a lot of attention to sustainability. During our panel discussion today, a common challenge that I noticed is educating the customers and shifting their buying behaviours. That's why fairs like VIATT are important because they provide brands with a platform to reach out directly with customers and communicate the value of sustainable fashion.”
Ms Ngoc Thu Le, Representative of Redress, Hong Kong

“My presentation was about applying AI in fabric inspection, the challenges and also the opportunities, while the panel discussion was more about sustainability. Our inspection system especially has attracted very strong interest as there are many textile mills and garment manufacturers in Vietnam. I’m so satisfied with the number of visitors at our booth, we have met quite a few potential business partners, and of course we plan to come back next year!”
Prof Calvin Wong, CEO & Centre Director, Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Design (AiDLab), Hong Kong
