Shanghai Tang, the Hong Kong luxury fashion house founded in 1994 by the late David Tang, a prominent figure in modern Chinese fashion, has established itself as a significant player in contemporary Chinese culture. On Tuesday night, the brand’s enduring dedication to celebrating Chinese heritage was highlighted at its 30th anniversary party held at PMQ, a creative hub in Hong Kong that showcases design and innovation.

Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination, currently showcased at M+ in Hong Kong, is a monumental display that elevates fashion to the realm of high art. As the first large-scale presentation of Guo Pei’s work in the region, it offers a compelling exploration of the designer’s artistic vision, deeply rooted in Chinese cultural heritage while engaging with contemporary themes. Running until April 6, the show is a testament to Guo Pei’s status as one of China’s most celebrated designers and a significant figure in global fashion. It is nothing short of breathtaking.

It was a historic day for Chinese fashion, and Fête Chinoise was there—the only publication from North America granted a ringside seat at an event aimed at re-establishing “Made in China” as an elite brand. Serving as the inaugural launch of Hong Kong Fashion Fest, VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture, took place on November 25 at The Henderson, a new landmark building in Central designed by internationally acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects.
