Hong Kong’s Most Promising Young Designers

Our favourites from the next generation.

This year’s Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ Contest was highly anticipated and certainly didn’t disappoint. We got to see the works of local talent and celebrate the creativity that is plenty to be found here on our own shores.

In this feature, we will be introducing them to you.

Eva Cheng Yee Wah

The overall winner of the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ contest, Eva Cheng is a freelance designer. This talented young designer executed exquisite details and intricate craftsmanship in her emotive collection, “Fragments of the Sky,” which was inspired by our cityscape and its shadows. Taking six months to complete, the collection features intricate silhouettes using the traditional Chinese paper-cutting technique that creates a 3D bloom-like effect with contrasting black and white layering. A most deserving winner!
