25th Hong Kong Fashion Week to Open Early July
Spotlight on Corporate Fashion and Fashion Tech
29 June 2018 – About 1,100 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions will take part in the 25th HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer. Under the theme “Happy Collage”, this edition of Fashion Week will be held from 9-12 July at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).
Answering a demand for professional outfits, the Corporate Fashion and Uniforms zone makes its debut this year. The World of Fashion Accessories zone also returns as a signature attraction featuring the best in bags, trinkets, belts, footwear, socks and leggings, gloves, scarves and much more.
The Fashion Tech & Trade Services zone is a special highlight this year, featuring an innovative app for a new technology for monitoring the quality control of garments, and an exciting virtual fitting app. There will also be newly developed fabrics that glow and change colour, as well as Konica Minolta’s state-of-the-art garment printer. Speakers from “The Next Wave in Fashion Technology” seminar will share their insights on heat-generating wearables, intelligent 3D human modelling and how to construct standard sizing for fashion.
Events on the latest market trends will also include a presentation by international trend forecasting group Fashion Snoops, when it will unveil its autumn/winter 2019/20 fashion forecasts. Other topics include “Online Shopping Reshapes the Fashion Industry” and “Essential Certifications and Ratings for Textiles and Garments”, with the latter shedding lights on the material requirements of green textiles, and the testing requirements of textile chemicals.
Students from the School of Continuing and Professional Studies of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Centre will showcase their latest collections at various fashion shows.
