Kay’s journey from PolyU to the forefront of the fashion world is truly inspiring. His innovative approach and distinctive style have set new standards in the industry, making him a true fashion icon. Kay is the first Hong Kong designer to present at the London Men’s Fashion Week. His name was on everyone’s lips after Beyoncé wore one of his custom-made, 3D-printed pieces on her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. His avant-garde, futuristic designs have also caught the attention of global artistes like Icelandic singer Björk and mainland Chinese popstar Chris Lee.
His unique vision has produced groundbreaking designs. Kay pushes the boundaries and redefines fashion. After finishing his Master’s degree at the London College of Fashion and interning at Alexander McQueen, Kay launched his eponymous label in 2013. In 2022, he rebranded his label as KWK by Kay Kwok, envisioning the future of fashion with a keen eye on digital possibilities. Kay told Tatler, “While technology for digital fashion still needs to mature, this is the direction we want to further explore. It’s where my aesthetics and DNA are at.”
