Nguyen Thi Thanh Thao, also known as Maika Thanh Thao, is an extremely familiar name to those who love fashion in general and kids’ fashion in specific. Having a pretty and lovable face with a professional charisma on runways, the 6-year-old model has excellently expressed the meaningful hidden messages in each design as well as brought unique performances. Particularly, recently, the little angel had the honor of receiving the International Kids Star Award 2023.
Stepping into the modeling field from a very young age, by her outstanding talent and relentless effort, Thanh Thao has continuously caught the eyes of illustrious designers, and she has been entrusted with opportunities to take charge of important positions like a first face or vedette in classy fashion shows. Her journey of achieving her dream is also marked by prestigious awards like being the second runner-up at Face of Vietnam 2023, etc. Recently, “the little flower” Maika Thanh Thao received the honor of being named for the “Talented Model Kid” category of International Kids Star Award - an award reviewed and presented by MGI Magazine, Thai Alicio Magazine, and LBMA Global Academy.
Since the first years of her childhood, the little princess Maika Thanh Thao has shown a deep love for arts and fashion. With the enthusiastic support from her mom as well as her desire to alleviate her timid characteristics, she tried to participate in many talent-related clubs, from dancing, drawing, yoga to music appreciation. Thanh Thao officially stepped foot into the path of becoming a model after partaking in a class of Ms. Thanh Huyen at BYB Academy two years later.
On her journey to realize her dream to become a professional model, the pint-sized star Thanh Thao has also encountered various difficulties and barriers. One particular instance is when the Covid-19 pandemic was raging across the globe, causing innumerable casualties and “freezing” all activities for a long time, and the field of arts was no exception. At that time, Thanh Thao’s opportunity to take part in shows as well as training was put off. Nevertheless, with her will and relentless effort, the little girl overcame the challenging period and is shining brighter and brighter on fashion runways as well as in her daily life.
We hope that with the foundations built from the initial years as well as her endless effort, the “little sister” of all seasons - Maika Thanh Thao will continue to shine and conquer more professional stages in the future.
