For the second year LCFS was a member of the judging panel for the Grand Prix. This year the representative was Mrs. Barbara Kitsco - Managing Director of LCFS "It was both a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of the judging panel for the Grand Prix 2007. Working with the other judges, both foreign and local, hearing their input and having animated discussions on who was “the best” was a great way of learning more about the “Vietnamese Fashion Scene”. It was hard work – many good collections to choose from – but having the opportunity to view the work up close and meet all these new designers made it all worth while. Best wishes to all the final contestants and a special note of congratulation to the final winners".
