Khanh was the only Vietnamese guest at the Men’s Spring-Summer 2024 show on June 20. For his outfit, he layered white shirt with black blazer and wore legging with leather boots.

The highlight of his fit was a purple checkered long coat with stuffed animals on it. The design is from the Spring-Summer 2021 collection of Louis Vuitton's late creative director Virgil Abloh.

In this show, he met actress Zendaya, who was named one of the most influential people in 2022 by Time Magazine. Khanh said he is impressed by the aura and style of a fashion icon like Zendaya.

This is not Khanh's first invitation to a Louis Vuitton show. As a big fan of the brand, he attended the 2019 show and met Abloh there.

Before the show, Khanh also attended a Louis Vuitton party. He matched a plaid blazer with flared trousers and a polka dot bag from the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection.

Khanh 33, studied in the US and worked in the interior design industry for many years before becoming a fashion designer in 2010. His designs are influenced by classical European art, which embraces lavishness and romance.

The Men’s Spring-Summer 2024 is considered a major event of Louis Vuitton when they introduced their new creative director – record producer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, two years after his predecessor Abloh passed away due to cancer.

Guests at the show included Zendaya, actor Song Joong-ki, media personality Kim Kardashian, actor Jared Leto, rapper Jaden Smith, supermodel Naomi Campbell and rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
