3571.pdf - Creativity Awards

IN AN ERA OF THE DIGITAL AND INSTANT, IDENTIKIT CATWALK IMAGES FLOOD ONTO BEDROOM LAPTOP SCREENS SECONDS AFTER THEY OCCUR ON THE RUNWAY IN PARIS OR TOKYO. HOWEVER, WE SHOULD HEED WHAT COCO CHANEL FAMOUSLY ARGUED: THAT FASHION IS NOT JUST IN THE CLOTHES THAT WE WEAR, BUT “IN THE SKY AND ON THE STREETS”...IT HAS TO DO “WITH IDEAS, THE WAY WE LIVE, WHAT IS HAPPENING.”

Communicator, cultural power and urban tribal signifier - fashion means much more than “just clothes”. From traditional costumes to avant-garde ready-to-wear, the underlying message is often about identity, both

personal and communal, expressed through the creativity of cloth.

In an era where big luxury labels find home on all street corners of Hong Kong, often pushing out smaller labels and local retailers, we should

remember that fashion is not just about big brands. The biggest re-occurring trends in fashion like ‘punk’, ‘rocker’, ‘boho’ or ‘minimal’ were more often than not borne from music movements and brave new ideas.

Just look at music festivals like Woodstock and Glastonbury - how important they were in inspiring a certain look or style that has lasted decades. Importantly, new ideas in fashion have nearly always been the territory of the young, and often the anti-establishment. These young creatives, with their innate hunger for finding beautiful solutions to design problems can be a true driving force in the local industry.

Local young designers have an important role to play, as do the media and consumers in supporting them. Eager, hungry and passionately creative, they could become tomorrow’s tastemakers - if they can walk a road of success. This success won’t just be commercial; it will depend on a balance of innate talent, hard work, dedication and creative integrity - a precarious and rare magic mix. This balance is particularly poignant in Hong Kong, as our local design scene matures and young designers develop stronger, more confident messages with each year.

Having judged this YDC contest twice in the past, it’s clear that nature and nurture both play big roles in

foreword foreword

the equation of a promising young designer - and their future success. There has to be strong skill and vision, that a person might be born with, and a dedication to learning what they yet don’t know.

The final expression might cumulate in a genius way of draping silks, layering organza or structuring a jacket that renders the wearer more powerful. Then there is the skill of creating a beautiful, emotive and unique grand narrative - something that the late Alexander McQueen triumphed at.

So many designers say their designs “tell a story” or “solve a problem”- and yes, these expressions have become somewhat cliché. But if a design can do this well, and the solution and story are riveting - then you are more than half way there. Add in a focused individual style, a visual and structural elegance to your clothing and this is when the turn of a collar can change a look, the knife edge pleat on a white shirt can structure a body and a gown can render someone breathless.

VIP JudgeMs Véronique Leroy

Véronique Leroy was born in Liège, Belgium. In 1984, she moved to Paris. In 1987, she graduated from the Studio Bercot school of fashion. From 1987 to 1989 she was an assistant stylist at Azzedine Alaïa. Alongside her work at the Azzedine studio, she spent her spare-time creating a collection which would win her the Helena Raviist prize in 1989 and secure her place as laureate of the Canette d’Or in Brussels. In the same year, she started working for Martine Sitbon as assistant stylist. She continued her personal projects and won the prix Courtelle, in 1990, the year that Thierry Mugler was president of the jury.

It was then that Véronique decided to start up a business in her own name. She launched her first collection in 1991 during Paris fashion week (prêt à porter).

She quickly established international fame with the press and with prestigious buyers.

Twice, in 1991 and 1994, she was laureate of la bourse de l’Andam du Ministère de la Culture. Three times, during the launches of the Autumn/Winter 1993/1994, Spring/Summer 1995 and Autumn/Winter 1996/1997 collections, she was awarded the prize “futur grand” for new talent in the Vénus de la Mode category.

Constant attention to detail, material and proportions are the hallmarks of her unique work.

Véronique Leroy opened her first shop in October 2005, at 10 rue d’Alger in the 1st arrondissement in Paris.

In September 2005, she launched a new swimwear collection for Spring 2006.

She has been consultant stylist for Maison Léonard during 8 years until October 2011 for the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. She is currently the main consultant stylist for the brand Mus.

judges of the contest judges of the contest

I am happy to see the increasing numbers of young people dedicated their passion in creative industry. They are young, full of energy and unlimited creativity, always think out of the box. But real-life experience plays an essential role to young designers, so HKTDC Hong Kong Young Designer’s Contest is an excellent platform for all young designers to extend their ability on stage.”

SHIRLEY CHAN

“Creativity comes from the pleasure of starting from scratch and reaching your goal. It is a translation of what you originally had in mind and the process which leads to its materialisation.

From a young designer, I expect to see spontaneity. The new generation should have a fresh outlook on the fashion design trade. Young designers should never be afraid to dare and should dream of doing it.

I picked up this image as it sums up best what I had been trying to express for many years through my designs at that time to sublimate the ordinary.”

VÉRONIQUE LEROY

“Hong Kong, being a fashion hub, the local designers are nurtured with blended cultures from East and West. Besides travelling to all parts of the world for inspiration, they can grasp most updated information and keep an eye on latest fashion trend via the internet.

1 Walnut.Early morning, you hear the sound of walnuts falling from the tree, in the garden of an old house in Beijing. Nature is so complicated and unexpected, the texture, form, colours, what we try to imitate in our creations.

Ms Johanna Ho Johanna Ho graduated from Central Saint Martins in London with both Undergraduate and Masters Degrees in 1997. Her graduation show was highlighted by the then London Times Fashion Editor Iain R. Webb as one of the top new talents of the year.

Soon after graduation, Johanna launched her own label. Her first ready-to-wear collection was shown at London Fashion Week and bought by Barneys NY. Subsequent collections were sold to around 30 retailers internationally including Via Bus Stop, Isetan, Takashimaya & Seibu in Japan, Browns & Harrods in London, Myer in Australia and Lane Crawford, Liger, Cocktail & Ztampz in Hong Kong.

On a more glamorous note, Johanna has been involved in concert costume design projects for Karen Mok and Eason Chan, and is currently designing/ styling the wardrobe for major Asian artists such as Eason Chan, Faye Wong, Miriam Yeung and Josie Ho. Internationally renowned singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey is also a fan of Johanna’s design.

Mr KK Yip KK Yip, renowned fashion consultant in Hong Kong, his career path can be tracked back to the 1980’s. Devoted to fashion, KK went abroad to study fashion styling in the UK in the mid 1980’s. Long before the Internet came into existence, technology was not readily accessible back then, knowledge of the outside world was limited. Hence, KK’s mission was to bring back the exciting fashion happenings and the most fashion forward styles to Hong Kong.

After finishing his studies in the UK, he returned to Hong Kong. In 1988, KK as a founder of D-mop opened the first store in Hong Kong.

With over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, KK is currently working as a creative director. He assists D-mop in all fashion creative aspects, from fashion styling to merchandising mix. KK says: “Being in the fashion industry for over 20 years, I still feel like a beginner, I still feel very fresh. I am eager to explore unique, cutting-edge designs, advocating creative and quality collection, bringing in the best yet new exciting international brands to Hong Kong, keeping the city tightly connected to international fashion trends, as seen in D-mop and J01”. He continues: “I believe fashion is lifestyle, a way of life that not only goes beyond mere consumption and the outward show but truly epitomizes the latest cultural scenes at large, namely art, music, clubbing,design ect. “

judges of the contest about ydc

THE HONG KONG YOUNG FASHION DESIGNERS’ CONTEST (YDC) WAS ESTABLISHED TO CULTIVATE AND PROMOTE A NEW GENERATION OF FASHION DESIGN PROFESSIONALS FOR THE LOCAL GARMENT AND FASHION INDUSTRIES. AS HONG KONG EVOLVES INTO A HUB FOR DESIGN AND BRANDED LABELS, THE ROLE OF YDC IN IDENTIFYING NEW TALENT AND PROVIDING INSPIRATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. BESIDES DISSEMINATING DESIGN SOLUTIONS, THE CONTEST IS ALSO BECOMING A PLATFORM FOR NEW TALENT TO START INFLUENCING CULTURAL TRENDS, A FORUM TO FOSTER INSPIRATION AND A PLACE WHERE DESIGNERS CAN EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVITY.

“Creativity is the backbone of our lives.It is not only restricted to the artistic world.Without creativity, we would be living in the past. Creativity leads us into the future.”

JOHANNA HO

Young designers should never be afraid of things that are beyond their expertise. From sourcing to manufacturing, only if the designer is familiar with every step of making a garment, they can come up with a good design. Also, they should not be afraid of trying new things. They should always break through the boundary and come up with new ideas.

The col lect ion takes i ts inspirat ion from a scene in the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. The outf i ts are romantic and somewhat unf inished. Such high-street fabric as neoprene, mesh and PVC are used, but the amount of handiwork required is dist inct ively high fashion, as the designer spent considerable t ime weaving the fabric . The col lect ion serves as a reminder that

tradit ion should be treasured.

香港青年時裝設計家創作表演賽

在這個數碼年代，什麼都講求同步，不論是在巴黎或日本

舉行時裝秀，一模一樣的照片都能在瞬間抵達所有人的睡

房電腦上。但可可 · 香奈兒說過的話至今仍是至理名言：

「時裝不在於我們身上的衣服，而是在街頭或者天空...時

裝是意念，是生活，也是四周正在發生的事。」

時裝是非常有力的溝通工具和文化力量，在都市森林中我

們就靠時裝將屬於自己「部族」的人分辨出來。時裝不只

是衣服，不論是民族服裝或當代前衛的品牌，所表達的其

實都是一個身份。個人或社群的身份總是透過服裝的創意

呈現。

這個年頭的香港不論是大街或窄巷，放眼望去都有大型奢

侈品牌進駐，小型品牌或本地零售商被逼遷離，但其實時

裝不只屬於大品牌。在時裝史中，不停回歸的潮流例如朋

克、搖滾、波希米亞與嬉皮士風，都是從音樂運動或是劃

時代的新意念中延伸過來。

你看看胡士拓及格拉斯頓伯裡音樂節，他們往往能掀起某

種衣著風格，經歷數十年而不滅。更重要的是時裝界的新

概念很多時都來自年輕、反建制的一代。年輕的創作人擁

有天生的好奇心，任何設計問題放在他們手上，他們都可

以找到美麗而出人意表的解決方法，他們是本地時裝業不

能缺少的驅動力量。

香港的年輕設計師在推動本地時裝發展方面扮演著重要角

色，然而傳媒與消費者亦有責任支持他們。懷著熱誠而且

創意滿溢，他們可能是明天的品味塑造師，只要他們能走

上成功的道路。所說的成功不只是商業方面，而是天賦才

華、努力投入與創意多方面之間微妙的配合，這有點像魔

法般神秘，要達到這樣的平衡很不容易。但在香港我們有

能力找到這種奇妙的平衡，因為每一年我們都看到本土設

計發展越趨成熟，來自年輕設計師的訊息亦越來越有力和

充滿自信。

過去兩次出任YDC評判，明顯地看到先天的我才華與後天

培養，在塑造一個年輕時裝設計師方面有著很大影響，甚

至對於他們未來的成功也扮演著關鍵性的角色。天生的技

能和對事物的看法，必須配合後天的努力學習。

最終這一切都可能展現在他們的作品上，可以是以立體剪

裁處理層疊的透明薄紗或構建一件穿上令人感覺剛強的夾

克。此外就是編織故事的技巧，可否從作品中說出一個美

麗動人而且瑰麗的故事。已故的Alexander McQueen就

是箇中能手。

許多設計師都強調他們的設計在「說故事」或「解決問題」

，這些都有點陳腔濫調。但是如果一個設計能真的做好這

一點，而且做得吸引人的話，那麼你就成功了一半。另外

的一半就是擁有明顯的個人風格，以及在視覺和結構上能

做到優雅。能有這樣的功力的設計師，可以用一個衣領打

造一個新形象，用白襯衫的褶邊構建身體，或是製作一套

令人目眩得透不過氣來的晚禮服。

ARTIFICIAL ERROR ( is more fun)

Kwan Mei Mui, Sherman 關尾妹

設計學生在學習製作紙樣時，總會犯下一些錯誤。關尾妹

想把這些人為的錯誤，變成新的設計方向。設計師以錯的

紙樣造衣服時，特別的扭曲便會呈現；再將之以厚重和輕

柔的布料構成對比，這些錯體便更明顯。當中最大挑戰是

適當地把它們縫合起來。這個別具實驗性質的系列，效果

是連設計師本人也意想不到的。

Fingerprint in Nature

Yim Tung Yan, El l is 嚴冬茵

Suminagashi是一種源自古代的日本技術，將墨水加在水

中，造成大理石紋。這些圖案就像指紋一樣，每個都是獨

一無二的。嚴冬茵嘗試將這種效果從水轉移到布上。這需

要經過很多嘗試才能達致理想的圖案，而將之印在厚重的

人造纖維物料上亦有一定難度。系列整體瀰漫著濃厚的日

本風情。

Journey Walker

Leung Chun Ting, Nelson 梁鎮霆

梁鎮霆將舊電子遊戲的元素，化作一個色彩繽紛的系列。

設計細節充滿幽默感。設計師以職場點滴來開玩笑，例如

將老闆的臉繡在外套背面。由於是男裝，設計師認為必須

著重細節和物料，所以用了羊毛和羊絨等優質西裝材料。

在技術上則以刺繡、立體剪裁和印花來建構一個豐富的系

列。

Simple is complicated?

Chan Chun Kit , Matthew 陳俊杰

M a t t h e w 的系列探索結構主義和華富村建築特色的共通

點。結構主義的畫風是將事物簡化成為長方和正方形，而

公共屋村因為實用的關係，大部分建設也是矩形的。環環

相扣的樓梯、馬賽克圖案和牆壁等，在這組衣服中成為色

彩繽紛的拼貼畫，流露出樂觀和溫暖的感覺。衣服的線條

都是起角而不平面。

Nowhere Women : Nowhere Fashion

Wong Suet Ying, Shir ley 黃雪瑩

靈感來自披頭四樂隊的歌曲Nowhere Man，黃雪瑩的系列

瀰漫著自由的精神。舊街頭藝術家所用的古老樂器如結他

弦線頓時變成了設計圖案，並以繩結的方法表達。布料都

是天然物料如羊毛和皮革，而大地的色調亦為系列添上一

絲樸實和流浪的感覺。

every inhalat ion, every invasion.

Law Dong Yi, Doris 羅冬怡

靈感來自1952年的倫敦大霧。在朦朧之中，人們對衣著都

不能太過講究，因此衣服的線條都比較寬鬆。整個系列以

綠和藍等如煙霧的顏色為主。雨衣是英國多雨的天氣下的

必需品，但卻以半透明的PU皮革製成，別具心思。

Peace Armour

Chan Hau Kei, Kay 陳巧姬

戰爭往往由自卑感開始，繼而產生嫉妒和衝突。盔甲是提

高自信的手段，而不是傷害別人的武器。陳巧姬所設計的

和平盔甲用了反光材料，但質地卻是輕柔的。她在PU皮革

掃上光油，用激光切割成不規則的圖案，之後再以針織的

方法縫合。衣服的結構並不硬朗而變得流動跳躍。

Over Mature

Ho Kwan Shing, Kurt 何昆承

大自然的不完美可以是全新的審美角度。人們認為是缺陷

或多餘的，其實也別具美態。何昆承花了很多時間鑽研布

料，將羊毛、羊絨和皮革的表面變得較為粗糙，加上薄紗

形成了非常有趣的對比。

派對服及晚禮服組

A World of Ice and Snow

Sung Chloe 宋歌兒

本系列由一部有關冰川的紀錄片所啟發，以冰的各種型態

作設計焦點。衣服用了許多個別布料拼合在一起，就像砌

模型一樣。層層的藍白半透明薄紗造成冰的紋理。羊毛和

花呢布用於晚裝上別具心思。羊毛和梭織布以針刺(needle

punching)技術拼合，帶來漸變的效果。

Spring

Lee Mei Ting, Vivien 李美婷

因為以春天為主題，李美婷在系列上用了全綠色，代表著

新生命，另外又加上金色作點綴。真絲色丁是典型的高級

時裝面料，優雅並全天然。誇張的荷葉邊，是用了馬毛在

縫褶邊上鞏固成型。設計師下了少功夫，確保這些主要的

設計元素是突出的但又不會因過大而影響整體外觀。

Aesthetic Bamboo

Cheung Yee Lam, El iz 張依霖

這個系列帶有強烈的視覺效果。竹子是設計的主題，服裝

是由草繩製成，形狀則像藤籃。竹以往經常被用作長裙內

的支架，但這次它成為主角。設計師面對的挑戰是如何利

用這些非常簡單和自然的物料，製作出令人驚嘆的形態。

Mysterious Land

Wong Tsz Yan, Yannes 王紫茵

一座古老的地下教堂現在改建為地鐵站，王紫茵就以這樣

的新舊交融作為系列的主題。她將複雜的建築元素如玻璃

窗戶的圖案，以鉤織的方法化為衣服的一部份。全黑的一

組晚裝以絲紗製成，合身的剪裁和手工是設計師需要特別

留意的。

Gold Fish Tank

Cheung Wai Tung, Sakura 鄭煒彤

攝影師蜷川實花的過度雕琢，不切實際的作品是這個系列

的靈感來源。鄭煒彤以攝影師最喜愛的攝影對象金魚作主

題製作衣服。多層次的絲紗展現金魚游弋的動作。沒有用

上綱線幫助，衣服都是拼貼在一起的。從「魚」的概念繼

續延伸，靈感來自變成人類的人魚公主，系列以長褲作總

結。

Fluoroscopy X-Ray

Mak Wing Fung, Max 麥永豐

在 X 光底下展現昆蟲形態是這個系列的設計主題。蝴蝶、

蜻蜓和蟬等圖案被印在布上，但也以摺紙般的立體形式出

現，和服的影子顯而易見。麥永豐利用非一般的晚裝面

料，如用來製作檔風衣的人造纖維，它可雙面打印，並使

衣服的形態更為突出。設計師的目標是將這些特別的配件

成為衣服的一部份而不是額外的組件。

Sakamoto Chiyo

Lee Ka Kwan, Louis 李嘉堃

設計靈感來自電影「藝伎回憶錄」中重要的一幕。衣服瀰

漫著少女味道，非常浪漫並帶點未完成的感覺。潛水衣

料、網布及 P V C 等街頭時尚布料，不算矜貴但所需要的

手工卻絕對比得上高級時裝。李嘉堃花了很多時間自己織

布，他又希望以系列帶來一個訊息，傳統是應該珍惜的。

Onion Life

Choi Wing Nam, Tracy 蔡詠楠

這是一個關於女孩成長的系列，真正的自我給埋在層層的

回憶之中。在絲紗和人造纖維面料上釘珠組成各種複雜的

圖案，鮮豔的顏色代表年輕人的樂觀態度。立體剪裁給予

衣服明確的線條。這是一個女性化的系列，同時也帶來年

輕和前衛的感覺。

Elizabeth Lin 連寶真

這是 E l i z a b e t h 繼去年贏得 Y D C 全場總冠軍得獎作品後的延

伸。以「時光機」為題，這個系列說的是童真和設計師自己

在香港生活時的童年回憶。衣服印上了 E l i z a b e t h 自己和小侄

女手繪的圖案。整體的線條輪廓是抽象的，比例上則有點接近

童裝。自從贏得YDC後，El izabeth便與好友開展了自家品牌

Elizabeth & Jacquel ine。品牌作風前衛鮮明，有大量超現實

的印花。品牌已進駐東京和倫敦的時裝店。

Eva Cheng 鄭懿華

Eva的設計概念源於一個想法，很多人都喜歡購買衣服，但最

終很多衣服都被埋沒在衣櫃深處。然而我們最喜愛的衣服往往

都是因為它包含著美好的回憶。Eva在倫敦時裝學院（LCF）

的畢業作品主題是「持續發展」環保概念，今次系列是該作品

的延伸。Eva希望在作品中灌輸珍惜衣服的價值觀，並開發一

個整理衣櫃的系統，讓人可以從衣服的細節中找到珍貴的回

憶。設計特色是幾何圖案、立體剪裁和可拆開的配件。

E v a 是 2 0 11 年 Y D C 的全場總冠軍，她獲獎後到巴黎 R u e du

Mail品牌，跟隨大師Martine Sitbon學習。之後她遠赴LCF修

讀研究生課程。

Wal Kong 江德華

系列以蝶戀花為題，像一個愛情故事，用上大量的印花和羽毛

帶來浪漫的感覺。Wal親自繪畫各種印花圖案，帶有東西交融

的味道。藍白色的組合靈感來自中國的青花瓷，而裸色與橙紅

的對比則屬於西方。這是一個混合日服與晚裝的系列，Wal在

設計中加入幾何元素和顏色方塊，增添現代感。

Wal是2007年YDC的全場總冠軍。

Mim Mak 麥鑽池

香港擁擠的環境令Mim想出這組作品，她稱之為「舒適區域」。

在一個擁擠的空間如地鐵，簡單的動作如伸手到口袋拿東西都

少不免會碰撞別人。Mim希望解決這個問題，因此重新安排口

袋的位置和方向。她從實用的角度出發，以立體剪裁的方式製

作出這個線條明朗的系列。

M i m 為 2 0 1 2 年 Y D C 的全場總冠軍，獎品之一是前往東京的

AtsuroTayama品牌實習。日本人的認真與敬業精神讓她留下

深刻印象，這次的經驗對於Mim發展自家品牌“HANG”大有

幫助。
