The 23rd Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer which closed on July 7 saw more than 13,000 buyers from 68 countries and regions walking through its doors. As an added attraction, this year’s show saw a new ‘Fashion Tech’ zone, which displayed the industry’s latest digital printing technology and award-winning eco-friendly textile technology.
A seminar on ‘Fashion Sustainability – From Product Development to Manufacturing’, offered insights into the latest sustainability measurement tools for the fashion industry and technological innovations. Besides exploring eco-friendly technologies, the four-day fair also created business opportunities for the fashion industry. Korean online fashion retailer Tricycle identified two to three potential Hong Kong suppliers at the fair, who said the new suppliers are flexible with order quantities. According to the organiser, despite uncertainties in the global economy, Hong Kong companies continue to stand out by offering a wide selection of products rather than compete on prices.
