Eva Cheng was named Overall Winner of YDC 2011 for her "Fragments of the Sky" collection, inspired by the cityscape of Hong Kong and its shadows. Intricate silhouettes unfold with the traditional Chinese paper-cutting technique she used to create a three-dimensional bloom shape and layering. The dresses flow with a contrast of black and white | |

Party & Evening-Wear Group winner Zoe Li drew inspiration from Europe's Art Nouveau movement. The designer's collection, "Jugendstil," took its title from the German word for "youthful style." The dresses made with organza and chiffon flow in fancy and natural colours, with curving shapes created with pleats. Exuding sensuality, the collection pays homage to painter Gustav Klimit, whose work encapsulates the beauty of women | |

Casual & Jeans-Wear Group winner Angela Ng's "The Black Sheep" is an evocative take on the idea of the outcast. The collection shows the individuality and power of those who defy convention. The multiple-use outfits feature dark wool felt and loose, disproportionate cutting, which symbolise the burden of the outsider. The designer fuses unconventional design in a stunning display of creativity and craft | |
