Heating it up in Hong Kong!

With the beginning of a new year, there will always be exciting events to kick start the next 365 days of life. In my case, 2014 started with a trip up to Hong Kong, for the Hong Kong Fashion Week!

Normally, Hong Kong is inundated with tourists and citizens alike during the spring season, and this year was no exception! The throng of humanity rushing about was certainly dizzying, but it gives the city it’s heartbeat and pulse. I attended the expo, as always, with the intention of absorbing and learning new things, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed!

As with anything in Hong Kong, the expo venue was simply huge, with ample space for displays and vendors. The expo is the world’s second largest and Asia’s largest fashion event organised by the HKTDC and held at the HKCEC. There is a fantastic range of the very latest in apparel, accessories and fashion-related products from high-end fashion to mass merchandise, to buyers from all over the world. With such an impressive array, I would be hard pressed not to find my way there, somehow.

I’m very thankful for the opportunities to attend events in another country, where the differences in culture and geography play an important role in influencing the fashion industry of that country. Having been to a number of these expos, I can only say that I still have lots of room to grow as a designer, with many, many ideas and concepts to explore.

Much love,
