Fourteen-year-old Bao Ha is the only Vietnamese model to walk the runway of Seoul Fashion Week this year.

Ha wore two outfits from the "Wednesday is Monday" collection by designer Kwak Hyun-joo. In her first appearance, Ha wore a jacket combined with a split skirt and white high-top boots. Her second appearance featured an all-black outfit with a jacket and a flared skirt.

Designer Kwak Hyun-joo was inspired by the Netflix series "Wednesday," which caught the Internet by storm in 2022. The collection targets teenagers with dynamic and rebellious designs.
