The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) returned to London Fashion Week with its Fashion Hong Kong runway show on 19 February at The Vinyl Factory in Soho, presenting the Autumn/Winter 2026 collections of four innovative Hong Kong designers. The event drew over 300 international buyers, media representatives and fashion professionals, reinforcing Hong Kong’s standing as a key fashion design hub in Asia.
The participating designers—Angus Tsui (brand: ANGUS TSUI), Bettie Jiang (brand: Bettie Haute Couture), Harrison Wong (brand: HARRISON WONG) and Menu Tsai (brand: selfFab.)—showcased a wide spectrum of design expressions, from avant-garde futurism and cultural fusion to zero-waste tailoring and sporty aesthetics. The show highlighted the innovation, sustainability and global outlook of Hong Kong’s fashion industry.
The runway show received support from the UK fashion industry, with model Eva Apio, singer CC Clarke, influencer Leo Mandella and stylist Karine Laudort in attendance. It also attracted attention from leading international fashion media, including BBC News, DAZED, Forbes, Vogues Business and Wonderland. Beyond highlighting creativity, the show strengthened exchange and collaboration between Hong Kong and UK fashion players.
To further highlight the creative strength and sustainability ethos, a curated display of selected works from the four designers was presented at the venue, complemented by creative pieces from NEXT@Fashion InStyle, an initiative showcasing new products from material suppliers globally. This initiative is a key highlight of Fashion InStyle, a premier trade platform held annually in Hong Kong in April.
The HKTDC also launched a professional designer showroom in London from 18 to 23 February, featuring the designers’ latest Autumn/Winter collections. The showroom provides a platform for international buyers to engage directly with brands and gain insight into their design philosophies and production details. It enables designers to test market responses, build business connections and explore collaboration opportunities, strengthening the international development of Hong Kong fashion brands.
Since its launch in 2015, Fashion Hong Kong has taken designers to major fashion weeks including New York, London and Tokyo. The return to London Fashion Week in 2026 underscores the international potential of Hong Kong design. With over 50 offices globally, the HKTDC continues to connect Hong Kong’s design talent with the global creative ecosystem, supporting local brands in expanding overseas presence and reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a leading fashion hub in Asia.
