About the project

An enchanting effect is created with the crossover of art and fashion. Through displaying ceramic artworks made by Artist Fiona Wong and students of the Hong Kong Art School, a dialogue between art and fashion is illustrated. Is it a dress or is it just an object d’art? Is it a window display, or is it an art space? This unique cross-over exhibition provides the viewers with a wonderful visual and sensory experience, initiating both a Dialogue between Fashion and Art and a cross-cultural conversation between East and West.
