2 Showcasing new fashion trends through wearable art pieces The fashion and image show "The Revolutionary Image of the New Generation", under the theme "East Meets West X Norse Mythology". It shows the evolution of fashion trends through a series of wearable art pieces paired with creative make-up, hairstyles and image styling. The annual fashion show "New Fashion Force" shows off the unique vision and latest trends in fashion design, featuring works from 32 graduates from the Fashion Design Higher Diploma programme. These pieces are a testament to the creativity and talent of the next generation of designers. Blending traditional and contemporary art forms to inspire the next generation While art forms can transcend boundaries and continually evolve with time, the pursuit of art remains constant. This creative spirit is reflected in the works of the Visual Arts and Culture Higher Diploma graduates. Combining traditional cloisonné enamel and rice paper flowers techniques with innovative presentation methods, the graduates have created compelling works such as the "Eternal" art piece. Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, this work preserves their unique materials and techniques and reflects their distinctiveness. It is a powerful method of showcasing traditional art forms to the younger generation. The importance of feminist art inspiration in a modern world The feminist art movement of the 1960s saw female artists raising awareness of inequality in the art world. Through their powerful creations, they encouraged women to focus on their physical and mental well-being. Fashion Media Design Higher Diploma graduates were inspired by this movement and decided to collaborate with the fashion brand Charles & Keith to create a video titled "Revive. Reclaim. Rejuvenate.". This project blends ancient and modern elements to explore female charisma and remind modern women to prioritise their health and wellness amid busy schedules. This showcase allows the young designers to advocate for social justice and gender equality. The intersection of Eastern and Western cultures Hong Kong has been a continuously evolving melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures for centuries. HKDI’s young designers are deeply inspired by this cultural blending and incorporate multicultural elements into their designs. This has been expressed in the work of an Interior Design Higher Diploma graduate who created "The Meridians", a project inspired by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and themed on the seasonal effects of environmental changes on the body. This work integrates TCM services with public spaces, crafting an urban oasis that enlightens and inspires the new generation about this fascinating culture.
