The New Face of Fur

More than 2,000 international buyers will be dazzled by the latest creations from 20 leading Hong Kong fur manufacturers and fashion designers to be paraded at tonight’s Fur Gala 2008 (Feb 25) while enjoying a sumptuous Chinese banquet.

Renowned as the most important event for the worldwide fur trade, the Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair (Feb 25-28) congregates modish apparel, fancy material as well as trendy accessories all under one roof at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The annual Gala evening is the highlight of this prestigious fair which everyone looks up for upbeat furry thoughts.

With its versatility and charisma, today’s fur has become a vital element in many international designers’ collections and with no exceptions to Hong Kong’s creative force. In the last few years a number of Hong Kong designers have joined force with local manufacturers to create original fur collections at the Fur Gala fashion show and the collaboration continues this year with renowned Hong Kong designers Benny Yeung, Arthur Lam, Walter Ma and Barney Cheng .

Stunning collections at tonight’s Fur Gala fashion show, whether inspired by glamorous movie star, the warrior of the new generation, the mysterious vampire, or the modern urban explorer, all illustrate that fur has become more multi-faceted nowadays. Not only does improved techniques of plucking, knitting and shearing contributes to the creation of lightweight fur fashion in various silhouettes suitable for all occasions, it also empowers fur to be combined with other fabrics to achieve diversifying effect. Laser cut technique also allows rich texture to come into full play with intricate pattern, while graduated colour dyeing brightens up the world of fur in enchanting hues.

時尚毛皮新面貌

超過2,000名中外買家將會出席今晚 (2月25日)的「2008年皮草之夜」,欣賞20家香港皮草製造商的嶄新設計系列,同時品嚐豐富的中式菜餚。

被全球業界譽為業內最重要的「香港國際毛皮時裝展覽會」,從今天起一連4天假香港會議展覽中心舉行,向全球買家展示多采多姿的毛皮時裝、配飾及時尚用品。而「皮草之夜」所展示的最新毛皮系列,是該大型展覽中令人引頸以待的重點項目。

今日,千變萬化和充滿魅力的毛皮已成為國際著名設計師系列中的重要元素,香港的設計師當然不會例外。過去數年,有多名本地設計師便與香港毛皮製造商攜手合作,於「皮草之夜」展出原創的毛皮系列,效果出人意表。今年這個合作再創火花,參與的設計師分別為楊遠振、馬偉明、林樹彬,和鄭兆良。

在今次「皮草之夜」展出的各個系列,無論設計靈感是來自風華卓絕的銀幕女星、新時代的女戰士、神秘浪漫的吸血彊屍,又或是現代城市冒險家,均演繹了毛皮時裝的時尚新面貌。日新月異的剪毛和編織技術使現今的毛皮更輕巧靈活,容易與其他物料變奏出不同的設計效果,也大大增加了毛皮時裝一展姿采的場合。系列中由鐳射雕刻技術所創造的精細圖案巧奪天工,與漸變的色彩效果同樣令毛皮世界更絢麗精彩。
