Fashion Fest aims to put Hong Kong on haute couture design map

Is Hong Kong’s fashion design industry having a moment?

Hot on the heels of this month’s Chanel Cruise 2024/25 show at the Hong Kong Design Institute – attended by the likes of French model Caroline de Maigret and Spanish actress Penélope Cruz – the city is to host the first “Hong Kong Fashion Fest” from November 20 to December 4.

Sponsored by the city’s Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, part of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the new event, intended to be held annually, is focused on haute couture, or high-end fashion.

It sets out to consolidate existing fashion and textile design events to reaffirm “Hong Kong’s position as a prime destination for hosting major cultural and creative events”, says Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, the secretary for culture, sports and tourism and the chairman of the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association.

Catwalk shows, exhibitions, seminars and masterclasses will be held across the city.
