Shanghai Tang, the Hong Kong luxury fashion house founded in 1994 by the late David Tang, a prominent figure in modern Chinese fashion, has established itself as a significant player in contemporary Chinese culture. On Tuesday night, the brand’s enduring dedication to celebrating Chinese heritage was highlighted at its 30th anniversary party held at PMQ, a creative hub in Hong Kong that showcases design and innovation.

Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination, currently showcased at M+ in Hong Kong, is a monumental display that elevates fashion to the realm of high art. As the first large-scale presentation of Guo Pei’s work in the region, it offers a compelling exploration of the designer’s artistic vision, deeply rooted in Chinese cultural heritage while engaging with contemporary themes. Running until April 6, the show is a testament to Guo Pei’s status as one of China’s most celebrated designers and a significant figure in global fashion. It is nothing short of breathtaking.

It was a historic day for Chinese fashion, and Fête Chinoise was there—the only publication from North America granted a ringside seat at an event aimed at re-establishing “Made in China” as an elite brand. Serving as the inaugural launch of Hong Kong Fashion Fest, VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture, took place on November 25 at The Henderson, a new landmark building in Central designed by internationally acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects.

Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s evolving design district, where visible remnants of a once-thriving trimmings industry meet street artists transforming grey sidewalks into colourful canvases, The Fashion Union has just unveiled a new exhibition that celebrates workwear as more than just clothing—it’s a testament to professional identity. Organized by the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) and backed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, The Fashion Union aims to increase public awareness of workwear fashion.
