Tran Thi Hoai Anh

Hoai Anh graduated from Hanoi National University of Education and Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, specialising in economics and foreign languages. Before entering the world of luxury fashion distribution, she built a career in marketing and business development, working with major airlines such as Vietnam Airlines and Swiss Airlines. In 2006, she took her first step into high-end retail by opening a Sergio Rossi boutique at the five-star Metropole Hanoi Hotel. From there, she rapidly expanded her network, securing partnerships with leading European fashion houses and establishing more luxury stores across Vietnam.

In April 2010, Hoai Anh became a trailblazer in Vietnam’s fashion industry with the launch of Runway in central Ho Chi Minh City. The multi-brand concept store showcased collections from some of the world’s most celebrated designers, including Theyskens' Theory, Acne Studios, Vionnet and Viktor & Rolf, cementing her reputation as a key player in the country’s luxury retail market.
