The next beauty to join the ranks of Global Student Fashion Week as an official Global Student Model Ambassador is Phuong Anh. A former student at Hanoi College of Art, Phuong Anh excelled by winning the Miss and Mister title at her school and being honored as the "Most Popular Talented Contestant". Currently, she has continued her academic journey at the National University of Arts Education, driven by her desire to keep learning and pursuing her passion for the arts. It is evident that Phuong Anh shines not only through her beauty but also her unwavering determination and profound love for music and the arts.
A profound passion for the arts since childhood
Born and raised in an environment filled with music, Phuong Anh's love for the arts was deeply rooted in her soul from a young age. Every note became her companion, a place to channel her emotions and find inner peace. For Phuong Anh, music is not merely a passion but a flame that keeps her heart warm and a source of strength to overcome life’s challenges. "I have never felt disheartened or wanted to give up," she shared with pride in her eyes.
She has always cherished the dream of performing on grand stages, where dazzling lights shine and each melody can touch the hearts of the audience. This is not just a dream but a fierce aspiration that drives Phuong Anh to strive relentlessly. However, the journey to realize that dream has been fraught with challenges. From late-night practice sessions and time pressures to enduring criticisms, every obstacle has only made her stronger and more resolute in the path she has chosen. For Phuong Anh, every step on her musical journey is a way of telling her story – a story of effort, faith, and an unyielding passion for the arts.
Challenges and motivations from her family
Despite her busy schedule filled with artistic activities, Phuong Anh always prioritizes her studies. Her secret lies in creating detailed plans through a to-do list to balance her academic and professional commitments. With a packed study schedule and numerous responsibilities, Phuong Anh often takes advantage of every spare moment to study. She even brings her books to work, seizing idle moments to learn. Her discipline and ability to organize tasks efficiently have enabled her to maintain balance and avoid burnout, despite her demanding routine.
Phuong Anh admits that achieving success required overcoming many challenges, including criticism and doubt from others. At times, she lost confidence in herself. During those difficult moments, her greatest source of support and encouragement was her mother. She shared, “My mother is my inspiration and motivation to keep striving. On the journey to pursue my dreams, I always feel her presence, walking alongside me every step of the way, sharing and supporting me.”

She emphasizes the importance of self-love and relentless effort. She asserts, “Failure is the mother of success. I always want to remind young people to stay persistent and never give up. Turn every challenge into motivation to keep moving forward, because as long as you try, you’ll achieve what you desire.”
