‘Redressing the Lion Dance’ weaves fashion, culture, and sustainability

We’re excited to announce ‘Redressing the Lion Dance’ — a brand-new initiative launching as part of Hong Kong Fashion Fest this November!

In collaboration with Ha Kwok Cheung, a longstanding dragon and lion dance team with 90+ years of history in Hong Kong, we’re merging Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage with fashion sustainability. We’re also grateful to the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for their funding support.

We selected two local Hong Kong design talents, Pearl Leung of Pearl Leung Style and Eric Wong of Absurd Laboratory, to each design a lion dance showpiece upcycled from unwearable post-consumer textiles from our Clothing Collection Programme. Their designs will debut at an inaugural performance at Hong Kong Fashion Fest later this month, and be shown at an exhibition alongside two other lion heads made by Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) students.

As part of this initiative, 30 students will gain educational experience through the production of the showpieces. Seven local designers will also be empowered by joining our sustainable fashion retail pop-up, which will offer a platform for exchanges with more local creatives and cultural industries. Six upcycling workshops will also be offered, led by Redress Alumni, with registration via Hello by Hang Lung Malls (more details and registration to be released later).
