Hong Kong Fashion Fest made a triumphant return on Saturday, transforming Central Pier No. 4 into a glittering stage for world-class couture. This year’s opener titled “VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture 2025”, unfolded against the iconic sweep of Victoria Harbour, setting an exuberant tone for the weekend.

Organised by the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association with support from the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, the showcase brought together four standout talents shaping the global couture scene: Dutch designer Peet Dullaert, Japan’s Tomo Koizumu, and mainland Chinese creatives Zhaoyi Yu and Caroline Hu.

Forty striking looks glided down the runway, underscoring why these designers have already captivated audiences at major fashion weeks in Paris, Tokyo, and New York.

Beyond the show, Fashion Fest continues with pop-up trunk presentations and intimate fireside conversations, offering professionals and fashion enthusiasts an unprecedented opportunity to explore the collections and hear fresh perspectives on the future of high fashion.
