“Style‧Encounter Moment”— The 2nd Fashion Exhibition of Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making
Introduction
Macao Fashion Gallery organizes “Style‧Encounter Moment”— The 2nd Fashion Exhibition of Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making to showcase the works from the 2014 session of the Programme and the extraordinary potential of local fashion designers.
This exhibition will display the works of eight individual/team-up designers selected for the latest Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making, including Lalaismi Wai, Esther Leong, Ella Lei, T. Wan Sio Tong & E. Wong Ha, Chantelle Cheang, Cheong Oi Leng, Vincent Cheang and Jade Leong. Out of a large number of candidates, the works of these designers were selected by a professional panel going through preliminary and final selection processes and were granted deservedly with subsidies. The exhibits are the fine works of the designers, covering different fashion types that include stylish men’s wear, casual female outfits, formal dresses and female fashions, totally sixteen sets of them.
The Cultural Affairs Bureau of Macao launched in 2013 the “Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making” with the intention to boost the development and innovation of local fashion design, encourage fashion designers to create feasible and comprehensive marketing plan, foster their organization of business activities or participation in fashion promotions at home and abroad, in order to enhance their visibility and market competitiveness in the fashion sector, generating a sustainable push to the development of local fashion design industry.
It is hoped that this exhibition can serve as a platform for the selected designers to showcase their works, and for the practitioners, citizens and tourists to have a better understanding of local fashion industry, supporting local fashion brands to move forward and explore development to a greater extend.
