It is not like any other giveaway, it is wrapped in all my love and sincerity for you at this time of the year!

After all the excitement of quite a few boisterous Christmas parties, it is time to withdraw to my quiet place and count the many, many blessings I have, both past and present and continue to move forward in God’s grace. Reflecting back on this past year, I find myself being overwhelmed with joy because of the countless blessings that God has bestowed upon me. In 2012, I have had many experiences in the kaleidoscopic fashion world that I would describe as once in a lifetime – participating in Ukraine International Fashion Days 2012 (May), making my model debut at African Fashion Show “I Wear Africa” (August), being sponsored by the French couture designer Laure Kczekotowska (December, more stories about this collaboration will be published in 2013), just to name a few. One thing that has truly touched my heart and I am incredibly proud of for the past two years of blogging is the continuous support from my dear followers/readers (yes, that’s you, you, you and you!) without which I would probably have quitted (much earlier than Tavi did I reckon).

1st Hong Kong Young Knitwear Designers’ Contest for Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 – China Fantasy by Patrick Ho

February 1, 2011 in Autumn/Winter, Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, Hong Kong, Knitwear, Patrick Ho, Seasons, Slideshow

1st Hong Kong Young Knitwear Designers’ Contest for Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 presented the award winning collection entitled “China Fantasy” by Patrick Ho (the second runner-up and Woolmark prize winner). The contest provided the young designers with a precious chance to make their dream become a reality by creating something new and brilliant. Among the other contestants’ designs, Patrick Ho’s “China Fantasy” especially appealed to me and probably westerners in general due to its exotic and oriental feel.

As the name suggests, elements of traditional Chinese costume were found in the collection. Red was a key color accented with floral prints and with gold thread twisted into the fabric, which symbolizes happiness, luckiness, and opulence in Chinese tradition. The qipao inspired knitted evening dress inherited the art of traditional qipao to feature a perfect female body. What was more, the Chinese Manchu Qing Dynasty princess shoes and headpiece and the emerald pearl necklace with which the models were adorned enhanced the total look of the collection. Chinese New Year is around the corner, do you fancy partying up in the chic Chinese look?
