It’s dark backstage. It takes a few moments to piece together, but you can instantly tell there is a dark edge to Necro Poon’s new SS20 collection. Gathered together it looks a lot like the environment outside in Hong Kong today. ‘Yellow is the New Freedom’ is a collection powerfully charged. It couldn’t get more ‘street’ than this. A clever collection, nailed home with the pièce de résistance, a denim jacket with the signage, “Water is Shapeless. Water is Formless. Be Water, My Friend” stamped to the back.

Necro Poon是我們其中一個很喜歡的本地設計師。他的作品貼近社會時事,讓顧客和設計師充滿共鳴。今次他在Centrestage上的Fashionally.com 時裝表演中展示他最新的SS20系列,我們當然要捕捉一下在後台的情況啦!下面讓Necro告訴我們更多這個系列的靈感和故事呢!

秋天的神話/ORANGE KRUSH. FW19 WOMENS FASHION SHOWCASE

You up on the latest coming out of the Korean music scene right now? The hottest thing to bubble from the underground is SY, the sexy lead singer of the Korean Nu-Goth rave group, Orange Krush. They hit the charts in July, with the criminally slept on, dark dance floor hit, ‘You’re Nothing to Me’, and have just released the racey video for the single, “Girls Kiss Better”, that was banned from TV! Think of a Billie Eilish cross with Marilyn Manson. We check in with SY to see if this Queen Bxtch is for real and shoot her down in the latest FW19 fashions from international brands and Hong Kong designers on the come up, Jasmine Leung and STR3AK Clothing! Get you some!

It was early and it was frantic. The watery cup of McDick’s caffeine was not working. Probably needed 3 of them. My camera felt like lifting a fat baby. Ugh. Working my way around backstage snapping away, faces began to blur and designs stand out. Some knitwear pieces really drew my attention. The above one piece, for it’s modern cut; I thought flattered the girl’s figure. Diggin’ the bold color blockin’ too. Editing the photos by collection, the pieces belonged Kevin Ho. I did not know this Hong Kong designer, but now I do! We think highly of his work, get familiar now.

Kevin這天的時裝秀真的太早了,幾多杯咖啡都不能將我從熟睡中醒過來。在後台舉起相機時就好像在舉著一個肥寶寶,總之就是累得無法集中。還是睡眼惺忪的我看到了一些針織作品彼為有趣,馬上舉起相機拍了幾張,模特兒好像也被我嚇到了。在之後翻看相片的時候我再次注意到這件針織了,原來是來自香港設計師Kevin Ho的設計。現在一起來認識他多點吧!

<< CHINESE CONTINUES AFTER ENGLISH >>

SPITGAN : Hi Kevin. Can you pls introduce yourself.
Kevin Ho : My name is Kevin Ho, I am a Hong Kong based fashion designer. I graduated from London College of Fashion in 2012, where I majored in womenswear. After graduation, I returned to Hong Kong to pursue my career.

In 2015, I participated in the Hong Kong Young Designer Contest (YDC), a local design competition, where I was honored to receive the best Party&Eveningwear Category award. During the same year, I launched my namesake label Kevin Ho. In 2016, I was nominated by Hong Kong Trade Department Council to participate in the Asia Fashion Collection, an event organized by Vantan and Parco Japan. I was sponsored to debut in Tokyo Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week and Taipei Fashion Week. In 2017, I was awarded Designer of The Year in  the Womenswear category by Hong Kong Fashion Council.

Colour and atypical craftsmanship are the signature of the brand. Often times, you will find bold colours, structural silhouettes and handcraft details in my design.

I would describe my brand as feminine, sophisticated, yet edgy and strong. I love to show the feminine side of women but at the same time give it a touch of masculinity. It’s delicate but not fragile.

My designs always combine structural silhouettes and distinctive textiles to deliver a cutting aesthetic, which is also what differentiates my brand from others.

SP : We were very interested in your collection, seeing it for the first time, this year at Fashionally/Centerstage, especially the knitwear pieces. Where do your design inspirations/references come from?
KH : I have always loved looking at art pieces. I believe art and fashion are connected. I am particularly fond of exploring different shapes and color, and I try to integrate these elements into my design.

This season is named “Vividness”, which is inspired by abstract painting, particularly from artists Lyubov Popova and Albert Gleizes. Focusing on the mix of colors and patterns, I wanted to do something that has the sense of abstract painting, organic and natural. I think it is hard to create that kind of touch by only doing colour blocking, so I expressed it through print design.
