Description
The 12 collections of six outfits each that were on show were designed and produced by students majoring in Intimate Apparel and Activewear in the University’s Institute of Textiles and Clothing (ITC), with raw materials sponsored by intimate apparel manufacturers and suppliers. The chief sponsor this year is Nobeemas, a well-known high-end lingerie brand of Melaydoti.
Three renowned figures in the design and fashion industry, Ms Beverly Black, Mr Dorian Ho and Mr Walter Ma, were invited as judges to select the Show’s Grand Prize. ITC alumna and TVB artist, Ms Chan Yan Yan, was also invited as MC for the Show.
The Grand Prize was won by Au Cho-Ying, Sally with her “Mountainous” sportingcollection. Sally derived inspiration from huge mountains. She then made use of her Chinese brush painting skills to illustrate mountain scenes, and combined them with smocking patterns. Sally said sportswear is as skintight as intimate wear, and she took the functional features into consideration while doing tailoring: "I hope my designs can strike a balance between beauty and functionality – for example, the neckline should not be too high or too low. One can feel the comfort of wearing an item when doing sports while keeping a sleek look”.
Another student, Chow Ching-lam, Ariel's work - "Infinity O" - was chosen by the audience as the "Audience Favorite". Ariel's design incorporates silver chains. She explained that there are many limitations in real life, but we should not limit our capacity to imagine. Through this collection, she hopes to express her endless imagination and her courage to breakthrough." -- PolyU website.
