Octavia was one of the finalists of the PolyU Fashion Show 2021, and was invited by Hang Seng Bank to style an outfit for Hazel, a new digital banking ambassador for Hang Seng from “another world”. Hazel is the first virtual key opinion leader (KOL) in Hong Kong’s banking industry. She is the product of digital technology and creativity, and embodies present-day lifestyles that traverse between the physical and digital worlds.
Octavia’s featured graduate collection is titled “Dive into the Sea”, which was inspired by betta fish. Betta fish are beautiful but aggressive. To demonstrate the strength of these fish, the silhouette of the design for Hazel is neat and sharp. Octavia also made use of thin and light fabric to best convey the appearance of a fishtail with reflection of light from different angles.
“I think my collection is tailor made for Hazel and modern women. Women can be beautiful and strong. They can also be brave and powerful like the betta fish to stand alone without fear. The collaboration was a precious and an unforgettable experience for me”, said Octavia during the live broadcast.
