KNITWEAR SYMPHONY 2017 PART 1

對我來說,這個Knitwear Show可能是香港貿發局主辦的Centrestage中一顆秘密的寶石吧。由HKKIDS(毛織創新及設計協會)主辦的Knitwear Symphony 最近幾屆都在香港發掘了不少有趣的人才。今季他們繼續在這個強壯蓬勃的基礎上再進一步。但似乎今次是個較小型的表演?或者可能是因為後台比以前少了近一半吧!當我們繼續深入這個屬於本地設計的秘境,幾個系列倒是有些面熟,但依然存在不少驚喜。—第二部分繼續。

To me the secret gem of HKTDC CENTERSTAGE or it’s incarnation before, is the Knitwear show. Hosted by HKKIDS (Hong Kong Knitwear Innovation and Design Society), the last few editions have produced the most interesting talent in the Fragrant Harbour. This season also continued to build on this burgeoning tradition with another strong showing. It seemed to be a smaller show? Or perhaps the backstage was half it’s previous size giving off this impression? As we have reached deeper into the local design scene, a few collections we had seen before resurface here but there were still many surprises left! PT 2 to follow…

APIECE APART FW17 WOMEN’S WEAR

Diggin these 2 wearable denim pieces from Apiece Apart FW17. Doubt that the ruffle one piece needs to be worn so low to be effective.

SHUSHU/ TONG FW17 WOMEN’S WEAR

她應該很討厭上班吧?身上的那些帶子,是一種束縛嗎?不過她應該有足夠的能力自行解開吧。假如這確實是ShuShu/Tong 今季的主題,那很有趣。一個香港人特別常見的奇怪現象: 讓工作綁死自己。順帶一提,很喜歡那些誇張的大袖子。就像我們喜歡自行加上肩上的擔子,沒有重量但外型很大。

ANYA HINDMARCH FW17 WOMEN’S WEAR

Definitely diggin’ this Nordic inspired collection for dem hottie, “from the hills” gals. Not feeling the shearling use. Hopefully its a synthetic or something. Kurbits, a Swedish folk art style, is used in a lot of the clothing and bag graphics for FW17 Anya Hindmarch. The hot pant cut, cable rompers, and granny panties, are definitely the items that make the collection fun for me!

ANTONIO MARRAS FW17 WOMEN’S WEAR

Antonio Marras loves the clash. Patterns and prints clash, fabrics clash. It’s a volatile mix and sometimes it works and it doesn’t for me. This season he gets the thumbs up for it’s muted palette, mostly dark to monochrome, and the interesting way he blended sheers with more robust tailored fabrics and velvets. Nice one! FW17.
