Introductions to the Hong Kong designer brands participating in Fashion Hong Kong:

Louis Chow
BrandMARCCH
(Collaboration with Yaz Bukey)

SS27 Collection: 'Decay'

The SS27 collection 'Decay' is about the abstract beauty of Intentionally ambiguous. Inspired by Patrick Thomas, the graphic artist from his 'PULP series', this particular series interact with 'randomly sourced daily newsprint ' the traditionally respected source of factual information ' where layers were found, drawn and code-generated graphic forms in an aleatory way utilising the mechanical process of silkscreen printing'.

Flora Leung
Brand: Matter Matters
(Collaboration with Yaz Bukey)

Collection showcased: The Not-So-Creative Collection: Mixed Feelings

The Not-So-Creative Collection: Mixed Feelings is Matter Matters' most character-driven collection to date ' a series of structured leather handbags, each defined by a distinct emotional identity expressed through the brand's signature geometric hardware face.

Five emotional archetypes anchor the collection: HEARTS (the hopeless romantic), COLD (deadpan, emotionally unavailable), WEALTHY (unapologetically greedy), SOLITARY (completely over it), and DECO (the art-school minimalist). Each bag carries its own advertising title ' The Hopeless-Romantic Bag, The Out-Of-Office Bag, The Show-Me-The-Money Bag ' written in the same dry, self-aware voice that has become the brand's hallmark.

The collection is presented through an internationally-focused campaign that pairs deadpan editorial photography with witty one-liner copy, positioning each bag not as a product but as a personality. It is a collection for people who carry their feelings ' just not on their sleeve.

Bettie Jiang
Brand: Bettie Haute Couture

Collection showcased: Palette of Variation

Palette of Variation, the 6th collection following Bauhaus, merges geometric style with zero-waste cutting. Inspired by kinetic construction, these fluid, sustainable pieces maximize fabric to offer functional, body-liberating fashion.

Harrison Wong
Brand: Harrison Wong

SS27 Collection: Interwoven Kinetics

This collection creates a profound collision between weaving craftsmanship and modern architectural lines. Centered around HARRISON WONG's signature Modern Tailoring, soft and organic fibrous lines are deconstructed and transformed into contemporary menswear defined by geometric order and visual tension.

Andrea Lau & Sam Chan
Brand: Kinks Lab

SS27 Collection: Undefined

"Claim the Spotlight, Wear Your Own Definition."

In the glare of imaginary spotlights ' where expectations converge and shadows of judgment sharpen ' undefined emerges as an act of architectural defiance. This collection refuses external blueprints, it hands the drafting tools back to the wearer.

Drawing from the precision of 3D technology and the soul of artisanal craftsmanship, each piece is conceived as a modular structural system. Beyond creative wearability and multiple styling configurations, "Undefined" introduces kinetic intelligence with movable joints integrated into the designs, allowing every element to flow and respond organically to the motion of the human body. A pendant gently shifts its geometry with your stride. Earrings dance in perfect sync with your gestures. Rings articulate with every subtle turn of the hand. The jewelry no longer sits static upon you ' it moves with you, becoming an extension of your living architecture.

"Undefined" invites you to occupy the center on your own terms ' turning spotlight pressure into radiant possibility.

Logan Chan & Liu Xing
Brand: PabePabe

Collection showcased:

This season, we present Held in Gesture ' a study of the hands in play.

Inspired by the intimate movements of musicians and the quiet precision of instrumental details, the collection translates rhythm, tension, and sculptural form into bags designed to be held, shaped, and performed.

Singchin Lo
Brand: PLOTZ

Collection showcased:

Sing reimagined Hactl's frontline uniforms through a sustainable lens, marking the first redesign in over two decades. Guided by staff insights and real-world testing, the new uniforms balance comfort, safety and performance. They incorporate recycled materials, such as fibres made from plastic bottles, alongside breathable, moisture-wicking, anti-static and reflective features, while embedding circular thinking into design, operations and future upcycling possibilities.

Simpson Ma & Jovy Hon
Brand: SWEETLIMEJUICE

Collection showcased:

SWEETLIMEJUICE's SS27 collection expands Eryn and Gem-Mosaic ' organic stacked silver settings and fluid, spiked bezel forms ' through a nue-punk lens informed by ancestral adornment traditions. Now set with laboratory-grown sapphire and diamond, the pieces resist uniformity, carrying cultural weight through craft memory and unapologetic non-conformity.
