In the colorful world of child modeling, there are faces that did not start under stage lights or in professional studios, but grew from a pure love for art. Do Thi Mai Anh – a 10-year-old girl from Hanoi – is a typical example of a journey built on personal effort, self-learning spirit, and admirable perseverance. With a creative, emotional soul and a strong presence on stage, Mai Anh is steadily shaping her own style and identity on her artistic journey.
Global Junior Fashion Week 2025: New cultural roots of global junior fashion
Taking place on June 28–29, 2025 at the Hanoi Museum, Global Junior Fashion Week 2025 (GJFW 2025) is one of the largest children’s fashion events in the world today. The program is organized by Voyage Group, in collaboration with the Hanoi Museum, the Vietnam Martyr Families Support Association, 5G Multimedia, and under the patronage of the International Cooperation Department – Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Vietnam Record Association, along with prestigious organizations such as CICON, MARVELS, FCA, Korea CEO Summit, and others.
With the theme “The Celestial Symphony”, GJFW 2025 is not just a performance stage, but also a space for cultural, creative, and technological connection. The event gathers more than 999 global ambassadors, 500 student ambassadors, along with international organizations, renowned fashion magazines, and prestigious designers from both Vietnam and abroad. It will also host the Global Junior Supermodel 2025 competition, cultural experience activities, skill classes, and a series of programs aimed at developing artistic talents for the young generation.
GJFW is not just an event; it is a comprehensive ecosystem that nurtures young talents – a place where every child can be heard, shine, and affirm their unique identity in a world that is changing every day.
Exploring one’s potential with proactivivity and creative thinking
In a world where opportunities are equally available to those who seize them, Mai Anh stands out not only for her performance skills but also for her proactive mindset and continuous learning spirit. Although she entered the artistic world later than many of her peers, she quickly proved that a serious attitude and adaptability are key factors that help her create a distinct difference.
Each time Mai Anh is introduced to a new discipline – from dancing, fashion performance, martial arts, to MCing – she diligently explores, experiments, and practices with her own passion. She does not wait for opportunities to be handed to her but is always ready to step forward, conquering each challenge with a confident smile and a heart full of enthusiasm.
Creativity is also one of Mai Anh’s standout strengths. From a young age, she developed the habit of “designing” outfits from fabric scraps at home, mixing and matching clothes, wearing her mother’s high heels, and performing based on her imagination. It is through this self-exploration that she has created a clear and distinctive personal style on stage – something rare for someone of her age.
Maturing talents from disciplined strides
Stepping into the professional environment in 2023, Mai Anh immediately demonstrated her ability to adapt quickly and learn systematically. At the Le Cirque Long Bien summer camp, she was chosen to perform in the central position during the final performance and contributed to the Gold Medal achievement of the camp. Shortly afterward, when she joined the child model training course at Linh Anh Academy, despite entering midway through the program, she proved her effort and was entrusted with the role of leading the performance group.
Since then, Mai Anh has continuously reinvented herself with each appearance. She has taken on the roles of vedette and first face in many shows by renowned designers. Not only does she stand out for her balanced figure and stage-worthy face, but Mai Anh also impresses with her professional attitude, high discipline, and consistency in performance – qualities that are not easy to find in a 10-year-old girl.
In addition to fashion, she has also trained in Vovinam and achieved impressive results: 1 silver medal, 2 bronze medals, and 1 encouragement award at the Thai Nguyen Open; a silver medal at the Hanoi City Open; a gold medal at the district level in 2025 and was selected to compete at the city level. These achievements not only reflect her well-rounded abilities but also demonstrate the perseverance of a young talent.
A role model of a young generation living with passion and responsibility
What makes Mai Anh different is not only her performance skills but also the way she nurtures her dreams with sincerity. For her, performing is not just about shining on stage – it is an opportunity to tell her own story. Every practice session, every trip to a performance, every competition is something she cherishes and views as an important step in her long journey ahead.
In 2024, Mai Anh won the title of Creative Ambassador at Magical Unicorn Vietnam, Junior Ambassador of Miss Culture & Tourism Vietnam, and the title of Impressive Junior Supermodel with her unique martial arts performance. Not stopping at her achievements, she always knows how to turn experiences into material for learning and self-improvement. Despite a packed schedule of both academic and artistic studies, she maintains a positive spirit, is proactive in balancing her time, and has the determination to pursue everything she loves.
With this foundation, Do Thi Mai Anh is not only a child star on the catwalk but also a model of perseverance, early maturity, and boundless creativity – an inspiring figure for the younger generation who are nurturing their dreams with both heart and willpower.
