Three celebrated Hong Kong fashion designers – Lu Lu Cheung, Hidy Ng and Henry Lau – presented their latest fall/winter collections at the Grand Show Hall of the Shanghai Fashion Centre.
The show was part of the Shanghai International Fashion Culture Festival and Shanghai Fashion Week, which celebrate the opening of Expo 2010 Shanghai. The events include a fashion carnival, “Asian Fashion Blooming of Shanghai – Special Present for 2010 Shanghai Expo,” 13-16 May, which promotes fashion talent across Asia.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) was invited to organise Hong Kong’s fashion show, “Style Hong Kong.”

Financial Secretary John Tsang welcomes the Shanghai audience to the fall/winter collections of three prominent Hong Kong designers.
Hong Kong designer Lu Lu Cheung’s collection is inspired by volcanic eruptions – of lava, granite and smog. The designs are meant to reflect the strength, confidence and gentleness of contemporary city women.
Hidy Ng’s “Stars Sparkle Tonight” collection showcases images of sophisticated women at work in a glamorous Hong Kong environment. The designs include three unconventional wedding gowns.
Henry Lau’s “Frozen Beauty” collection portrays the cool beauty of Hong Kong’s Central District after dark. Mr Lau’s collection includes party and evening wear in black and a range of dark colours, with shiny accessories depicting Hong Kong’s glamorous nightlife.
