Imagine an Elsewhere – A HKDI Student Exhibition
A journey, whether real or imaginary, offers a chance to look at the world from a different perspective, it sparks imagination and paves the way for new possibilities.
The exhibition “Imagine an Elsewhere” was designed in that spirit, echoing the essence of the CHANEL Cruise collections. From Paris, Dubai, Seoul, to Cuba, Monte-Carlo and Los Angeles, these collections are an invitation to travel and explore the imaginary of an elsewhere, with lightness and playfulness.
First presented in Marseille, south of France in May 2024, the CHANEL Cruise 2024/25 collection has made a stopover at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) on November 5th. In this context, HKDI students specialised in Architecture, Communication, Product and Fashion Design had the unique opportunity to travel to France at the time of the show and immerse themselves in the world of CHANEL and its collection.
Upon their return, they shared their experience with their fellow students and imagined together a series of multidisciplinary artworks inspired by the storytelling around the collection and by their own vision of the south of France. The energy from natural elements: the sun, wind and sea, savoir-faire and togetherness are some of the key ideas that run through their works.
Every project is about losing focus and transforming reality – a poetic reflection on the way an encounter, a travel can influence one’s perspective on life.
