Champion

Designer: Vicky Tsang 
Design: “EXHAUSTING A CROWD”

The design:
3D printing technology is a field rarely explored by designers. Not only is the production cycle long, but it is also difficult to make. Fortunately, the final visual effect is very special with a glitch art style.

My Favourite Collection Award

Designer: Justine Wan
Design: “AN UNQUIET MIND”

The design:
The collection is simple yet unique with the silhouette and patterns originating from the strokes and meaning of Chinese characters. When the pieces are opened, the Chinese character is revealed, with each character carrying a specific meaning. This is how traditional calligraphy is fused into modern fashion.

Charlotte Ng Studio SS23 Collection: Work Hard Play Hard

The collection originated from the 1980s with loose fits, large shoulder pads, high-waisted skirts and denim items. To illustrate the day-to-day life of work hard, play hard, the designer combined an elegant suit with a daily casual design, making the suit playful and fresh. For example, the one-piece suit pants in the collection are designed in denim, which matches the brand's elegant style and brings out an image of women as independent and intellectual. It also conveys the attitude of working hard and enjoying life through design.

YMDH SS23 Collection: Seeing Clothing as Not Clothing

The collection focuses on redefining the definition of clothes, making people reflect on what clothes are, and introducing hippy culture to the public again. It shares the concept of love and peace, freedom and equality, and love for the earth. The new collection fuses fashion and music, so that the two are no longer separated and can break through their boundaries. The styling refers to hippy elements from the 1960s and incorporates such details into the collection. It follows the same playful style as before and can be worn multiple ways for a contemporary new-hippy style.

FASHIONALLY PRESENTATION I: Wilsonkaki

Overexposure and soft focus are photographic expressions of light that share a blurred visual effect with a strong sense of distortion. Wilsonkaki's latest collection draws inspiration from these visual effects by exaggerating the silhouettes of people and making prints the key for the season. The light yellow represents light, and together with the iconic blue colour of the brand, it is like the sunlight refracting softly on the sea, giving people a feeling of hope but mystery.

FASHIONALLY Presentation II: Kowloon City Boy

Kowloon City Boy’s latest collection, with its retro sports style, brings a new surprise. Classic game characters are integrated into the collection, which are intended to transport users back to their childhood playing video games. The distinctive and symmetrical patterns of the game characters and their bold colour schemes make for beautiful fashion. The rough design lines and bright contrasting colours give a strong visual impact, presenting a Japanese gaming aesthetic that combines gaming and fashion. The consistent above-the-knee shorts design is a continuation of the usual teenage style of the brand.

FASHIONALLY Presentation III: Vo-yage
During a fishing trip with a friend, the designer realised that some people pursue the fish, while others just enjoy the process, and that the purpose is different for everyone. This led him to believe we shouldn’t be limited by ourselves and society, and we should try to fight for what we want. In Vo-yage menswear, this means wearing skirts and being sexy without being restricted. Green is used throughout the whole collection, with an emphasis on practicality, and different items can be worn in new ways through dismantling and restructuring. New fabrics are applied to old tailoring to create a new-vintage Vo-yage style.
