SYDNEY: Organisers of Fashion Exposed have announced that its upcoming instalment will feature a special delegation of Hong Kong designers.

Scheduled from March 8 to 10 at the Sydney Exhibition Convention Centre, Darling Harbour, the expo and its designer showcase Preview will feature well-known Hong Kong talents Harrison Wong, DoDo Leung, Henry Lau and Winsome Lok, whose labels cover categories including womenswear, underwear, nightwear, accessories, menswear and knitwear.

The designers' work will showcased at a runway event on March 9.

Harrison Wong is the first Chinese individual fashion designer to have presented in the official Milan Fashion Week calendar, while DoDo Leung has specialised in high fashion womenswear and evening wear for many years, and also launched her own label Mondovi in 2007.

Design director of Spy International, Henry Lau's garments are currently sold in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Canada and the Middle East, while Winsome Lok has worked in fashion design working on her own label and collection since 1999.
 
A spokesperson from the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council said the showcase was significant for both the Australian and Hong Kong markets.

"The presence of local Hong Kong designers at Fashion Exposed and preview will further enhance the image of Hong Kong as a fashion powerhouse and design centre supported by technical expertise and creative ideas."

"Hong Kong’s fashion industry is built on its long history of excellence. In 2007, Hong Kong exports of clothing and clothing accessories topped US$28.7 billion, a 25 per cent increase over 1997."

In recent years Hong Kong's fashion designers had increasingly gained a worldwide reputation for their "professional expertise, sensitivity to current trends and ability to blend commercialism with innovation", the spokesperson said.
