Victor Lee’s collection, “924”.
Mason Wong’s collection “Defend”.
Amidst an impressive display of talent and creativity, graduating student Lee Wai-tak Victor and alumnus Wong Ho-yu Mason were shortlisted at the prestigious Hong Kong Young Designers’ Contest (YDC) 2023.
Known as one of the most influential fashion design competitions in the region, YDC celebrates emerging young designers and their unique visions. The contest attracts entries from talented individuals who demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship, conceptual thinking, and an exceptional understanding of the industry.
Victor Lee’s collection, “924”, contemplates the dynamics between people in relationships, and seeks to explore the intangible interpersonal distances that exist within them. Through his creations, he delves into different levels of intimacy in relationships, and the shifts in dynamics and tension experienced during the ebb and flow of a relationship. His work primarily utilises mix-and-match materials, patterns formed by layering images in different states and the transformation of forms derived from intimate relationships with silhouettes.
Mason Wong’s collection “Defend” aims to convey his feelings about dressing and encourages people to break free from the trend of gender ambiguity by finding outfits that truly suit them. He deliberately combines altered and adjoined materials, delicate tailoring and references to armour to interpret his perception of the grandeur, confidence and harmonious balance of strength and softness of male aesthetics.
