Young Fashion Designers' Contest 2020 winners revealed
[20/09/21]
HONG KONG, Sep 21, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - CENTRESTAGE, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), became virtual in 2020, with both the exhibition and fashion shows migrated to an online platform. Asia's leading fashion event concluded on 19 September with the 2020 Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers' Contest (YDC), broadcast live through the Internet. Fourteen promising local designers overcame the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic to showcase their creations at a special fashion show, competing for the five YDC awards being given out this year. Champion Brian Chan received a monetary reward together with a one-month overseas internship sponsored by Fang Brothers Knitting Ltd.
The winners at YDC 2020 were as follows:
Champion: Brian Chan. Design: "Floating Mindset"
Excellence Award & New Talent Award: Jacqueline Leung. Design: "The Blessed Kids"
Best Visual Presentation Award: Stephen Cheuk. Design: "Hyakki Yagyo"
My Favourite Collection Award: York Yip. Design: "Coexistence"
The My Favourite Collection Award was newly added this year, with members of the public voting online between 12 August and 18 September for their favourite new design star in Hong Kong.
Young designers gain valuable experience amid pandemic
The judging panel for this year's YDC was made up of an impressive roster of fashion experts and media pundits. Chief Judge was Katherine Fang, Chairman of the HKTDC Garment Advisory Committee. The other judges on the panel were fashion designer Anais Mak; Michael Mok, General Merchandising Manager/Head of Merchandising at JOYCE; Jonathan Lee, Senior Area Manager (Asia) of Tomorrow Ltd; Kieran Ho, Senior Vice President-Hong Kong, Purple PR; stylist and art director Declan Chan; and Jason Lam, Head of Brand, Asia Pacific at MATCHESFASHION.
The judges assessed the young designers' works based on creativity, originality, market potential, craftsmanship, use of fabrics and overall aesthetics, offering expert feedback to each of the participants. Ms Fang said: "The pandemic has undoubtedly caused disruption to business operations and people's lives in general, but the HKTDC was determined to show its continued commitment to providing a flagship platform for young Hong Kong fashion talents to showcase their collections and share their stories. To succeed in the fashion industry requires resilience as much as it does creativity, and I would like to congratulate all of this year's contestants for exhibiting both qualities so well."

YDC 2020 Winners' Sharing

Time: 3:30pm-4:30pm
Venue: Urban Sky, 9/F, Hysan Place, Causeway Bay
Designers: Winners of YDC 2020 - Champion, Excellence Award, New Talent Award, Best Visual Presentation Award and My Favourite Collection Award
Champion: Brian Chan. Design: "Floating Mindset"
The design: Mr Chan observed that there are very few clean beaches in Hong Kong, most being badly polluted with rubbish that is easily seen from ferries. As the fashion industry is responsible for much pollution due to washing and dyeing, he wanted to create a collection that promotes ocean conservation. His collection is visually inspired by floating debris, using only natural fibres such as cotton and wool. Irregular pockets, wave patterns and "disintegrating" patches are all motifs taken from the environment. The shapes are deliberately commercial to promote wearability, while handcrafted details such as embroidery, patchwork and tassels give the collection an edge.
Prizes: (1) A cash award of HK$60,000 (2) An overseas study trip, sponsored by Fang Brothers Knitting Ltd
Excellence Award & New Talent Award: Jacqueline Leung. Design: "The Blessed Kids"
The design: Mothers and big sisters taking care of babies provided the inspiration for Ms Leung's collection. The floral prints and tying of traditional baby carrier wraps are stylised to become design elements in a colourful collection that is both nostalgic and joyful. Digital prints, beading and quilting offer a visual feast of colours, shapes and textures, while windbreaker material and pastel green denim lend practicality and versatility. A hat, handbag and backpack inspired by the baby carrier complete the look.
Excellence Award Prizes: (1) A cash award of HK$40,000; (2) A trip to visit the Tomorrow Showroom in London offered by MINI HK
New Talent Award Prizes: (1) A cash award of HK$20,000 (2) Mentorship offered by JOYCE to develop a capsule collection to be sold at one of the JOYCE stores
Best Visual Presentation Award: Stephen Cheuk. Design: "Hyakki Yagyo"
The design: The Japanese title of this collection means "night parade of a hundred demons". These demons are thought to have been at war with people for many years, essentially as a way to show that they exist. Inspired by this idea, the collection aims to give voice to those marginalised in society such as ethnic minorities, the elderly and waste pickers. The materials are utilitarian like waxed fabric, and the clothes feature many pockets to store weapons and tools. Knits, fur and boiled wool are used to give a rich texture and convey the different characters of the "demons". There is also a backpack that resembles a stretcher to reinforce a combative atmosphere.
Prizes: A cash award of HK$10,000
My Favourite Collection Award: York Yip. Design: "Coexistence"
The design: The idea for York's collection comes from aliens coexisting on earth with humans. The designs combine 1980s' retrowave music and UFO-inspired graphics and silhouettes. The exaggerated fluorescents - colours on the ultraviolet spectrum - and shapes again hark back to the 80s, with double-sided fabrics lending volume. Bold, girly yet sexy, the looks are complete with hand-drawn shoes that give the illusion of rising into the sky.
Prize: A HK$6,000 e-Gift Coupon sponsored by Hysan Place
