The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) returned to London Fashion Week with its Fashion Hong Kong runway show on 19 February at The Vinyl Factory in Soho, London, drawing over 300 international buyers, media representatives and fashion professionals. The event, supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London, showcased the Autumn/Winter 2026 collections of four Hong Kong designers: Angus Tsui (ANGUS TSUI), Bettie Jiang (Bettie Haute Couture), Harrison Wong (HARRISON WONG) and Menu Tsai (selfFab.). Their collections spanned avant-garde futurism, cultural fusion, zero-waste tailoring and sporty aesthetics, highlighting the innovation, sustainability and global outlook of Hong Kong’s fashion industry.
The runway show attracted notable attendees including model Eva Apio, singer CC Clarke, influencer Leo Mandella and stylist Karine Laudort, as well as coverage from leading international fashion media such as BBC News, DAZED, Forbes, Vogues Business and Wonderland. The event not only showcased Hong Kong designers’ creativity but also strengthened exchange and collaboration between Hong Kong and UK fashion industry players, elevating international awareness of Hong Kong fashion brands.
To further highlight the creative strength and sustainability ethos of Hong Kong fashion, a curated display of selected works from the four designers was presented at the venue, complemented by creative pieces from “NEXT@Fashion InStyle,” an initiative showcasing the latest products from material suppliers worldwide. This initiative is a key highlight of Fashion InStyle, a premier trade platform held annually in Hong Kong in April. The showcased designs illustrate how innovation is sparked through creative use of new materials, exploring the intersection of technology, sustainability and artistry.
Additionally, the HKTDC launched a professional designer showroom in London from 18 to 23 February, featuring the designers’ latest Autumn/Winter collections. The showroom provides a platform for international buyers to engage directly with the brands, enabling designers to test market responses, build business connections and explore collaboration opportunities. This strengthens the international development and global reputation of Hong Kong fashion brands.
Since its launch in 2015, Fashion Hong Kong has taken Hong Kong designers to major fashion weeks including New York, London and Tokyo. The return to London Fashion Week in 2026 underscores the strong international potential of Hong Kong design. With over 50 offices globally, the HKTDC continues to connect Hong Kong’s design talent with the global creative ecosystem, supporting local brands in expanding their overseas presence and reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a leading fashion hub in Asia.
