YDC 2017 Winners to Display Award-winning Capsule Collections
Organised by the HKTDC, YDC is an annual contest that aims to cultivate and promote new fashion design talents. Three YDC 2017 winners will return to CENTRESTAGE this year to display their latest collections created in collaboration with top fashion brands.
Arto Wong, champion and New Talent Award winner at YDC 2017, launched her namesake label, ARTO this month. The highly coveted New Talent Award, introduced last year and returning next month, is given by JOYCE and includes mentorship and assistance to the winner to develop a capsule collection that will be sold at JOYCE. The "JOYCE x ARTO. Capsule Collection", developed from Ms Wong's YDC winning collection "Zero to Unlimited", will launch in Hong Kong at JOYCE Pacific Place on 30 Aug, and in Shanghai at JOYCE Plaza 66 in early September.
Menswear designer Sonic Lam, YDC 2017 first runner-up, has developed his winning "Barren Land" collection into an outfit for The Woolmark Company, which is sponsoring him on a study trip to Australia this month to learn about the wool supply chain.
YDC 2017 Best Footwear Design Award winner Jason Lee launched his capsule collection "I Go to School by Bus" with i.t apparels under the brand ete! at selected ete! and i.t stores in March. Through this playful and colourful collection, the designer expressed re-living happy school memories.
