Although only 3 years old, little Moniz Mai Khanh is already a sought-after face from South to North. At the Vietnam Idol Runway program, she impressed when she independently walked to be the first face for the "Ngoc Lien" collection of designer Dinh Phuong Trinh and vedette for the collection of designer Thanh Lieu without needing her mother to accompany her on stage.
To have a comprehensive development foundation for her daughter, runner-up Truc Ny and her husband revealed to Lao Dong Newspaper that they do not spare the cost of investing in their daughter. Currently, Moniz is studying at a expensive international school in Vietnam with tuition fees ranging from 500 million to more than 1 billion VND/year. Although only 3 years old, she can speak 3 languages: Vietnamese, English and Chinese.
Speaking about the reason for her child to be exposed to art early, Á hậu Truc Ny affirmed that she and her husband have absolutely no intention of bringing their child into professional showbiz.
Investing in sending children to international schools or catwalks is actually a way for families to create an experiential environment. Fashion stages help children cultivate confidence, boldness and overcome fear in front of crowds - important skills for children to find answers to the question "Who am I?" when they grow up.
To balance between art and childhood life, Truc Ny always puts her child's studies first. The English curriculum is only 180 days/year, helping the family flexibly arrange for the child to receive shows on holidays. In addition, the couple also spends a large budget to take their child on regular domestic and international trips. Trips help children explore the world through innocent perspectives: watching airplanes, taking the cable car, visiting the zoo...
Truc Ny shared that Moniz still maintains the innocence of a 3-year-old child. Boldness is just a skill when standing on stage, but when leaving the stage, the baby is still lovely at the right age. Typically, when the organizers gave a teddy bear after the show, the baby innocently refused: "I have a teddy bear at home".
