The event is scheduled to take place at Van Phuc City in Ho Chi Minh City on March 28 and 29.

Founded in 2005, Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC) has grown into a pop culture phenomenon in Japan, closely associated with the rise of ready-to-wear and street fashion trends. Over nearly two decades, the event has cemented its scale and influence, drawing more than 30,000 spectators in person at each edition.

TGC’s decision to select Vietnam as its next destination is widely considered a strategic move in its expansion across Southeast Asia. According to organizers, Tokyo Girls Collection Vietnam 2026 will span two days in Vietnam, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s regional outreach.

On the first day, March 28, the festival will open free of charge to the public, centering on immersive fashion and lifestyle experiences, Vietnam–Japan cultural exchanges, culinary and shopping spaces, and check-in areas inspired by Harajuku. Runway shows reflecting the distinctive DNA of Japanese fashion will also take the spotlight.

The second day, March 29, will culminate in a large-scale fashion music concert, where elaborately staged runway presentations will be interwoven with live musical performances, creating a dynamic fusion of style and sound.
