Enhancing Hong Kong’s role as Asia’s lifestyle centre, the Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza was held last night on the first day of the HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter and World Boutique, Hong Kong.
The event organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) featured four famous international designers including Hong Kong’s Dorian Ho, Guo Pei and Frankie Xie from the Chinese mainland and Toshikazu Iwaya from Japan.
HKTDC Chairman Jack So said Hong Kong has become a fashion design centre for the region because of its proximity to the important mainland market.
“We would like to see Hong Kong become one day a fashion capital to rival Paris, New York and London,” said Mr So, noting that the city is well placed to take advantage of a combination of rising purchasing power and talent from all around the world.
Hong Kong Fashion Week runs from January 18-21, 2010 with 2 000 exhibitors from 30 countries.
