Hong Kong Fashion Week Opens Next Monday

HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair - January 2018

Showcasing Worldwide New Collections, including Céline Dion Brand

Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 49th HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter will run from 15-18 January at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Nearly 1,400 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions will take part in the fair, showcasing the latest fashion designs, global brand collections, garments, fashion accessories, fabrics and clothing accessories.

Under the theme “New-World Explorers”, Fashion Week will debut two new zones: “Corporate Fashion and Uniforms” and the “World of Fashion Accessories”.

Hong Kong exhibitor Innee-Sedona International Ltd will showcase a range of fashion accessory collections from the Céline Dion brand. The brand’s 2018 SS collection will make its Asia-Pacific debut at Hong Kong Fashion Week with a range of products including handbags, luggage and small leather accessories. The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) and the Institute of Textiles and Clothing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University will also showcase their newly developed textile product featuring temperature-control functions, suitable for both general apparel and specialised medical applications.

More than 20 exciting events including fashion parades and presentations, seminars, as well as a buyer forum and networking reception will be staged. Fair highlights include “FASHIONALLY Presentation”, launched for the first time by the Hong Kong fashion website FASHIONALLY.com. Unlike conventional catwalk shows, the parade will showcase the 2018 FW works of local fashion designers Derek Chan, Aries Sin and Mim Mak, in a storytelling format set in a theatre-like stage, presenting a unique experience for buyers.
