The "Listen to GPP" fashion design competition, co-organised by SFT and the Hong Kong Psoriasis Patients Association, held its successful finale and award presentation ceremony on 6 May. Three winners were revealed at the event. Additionally, 10 finalists from SFT showcased their designs from 30 April to 7 May at Cityplaza.
The winning collection was “Beneath the Layers” by Tsoi Tsz-wa, while 1st runner-up went to “Symbiosis” by Ng Pui-pui. The 2nd runner-up position was a tie between “Skin in Boom” by Cheung Wai-yee and “Almost Perfect” by Lau Wing-yee.
Through this competition and exhibition, the organisers aimed to provide a platform for participants to utilise their design talents, creativity, and technical skills to create works that capture the unique characteristics of GPP and the experiences of patients, thus expressing care and concern for this underserved community.
The "Listen to GPP" fashion design competition stands as a powerful example of how the fashion industry can leverage creativity to have positive social impacts and encourage more empathy and awareness around underrepresented health conditions.
Generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare chronic skin disease. The condition differs from plaque psoriasis which is commonly referred to as psoriasis. During GPP flare-ups, painful pustules suddenly appear on a large area of the body, and symptoms such as fever may accompany them.
