Nurturing talents and bringing them to the global market is an important part of our efforts in developing Hong Kong as an international cultural hub”.
The “Hong Kong Pop-up Design à Paris” is initiated by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, presenting the works of 11 new Hong Kong designers, ranging from clothing to jewellery and other accessories.
In addition, the store also presented a diversified cultural scene of Hong Kong, with a series of miniature drawings by Lam Yan-kiu, as well as the exhibition of “Wanderers’ Land – Cityscapes in Hong Kong” by Pen So, curated by the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
The pop-up store is located in the design area of Paris at 9, rue du Marché Saint Honoré, 75001 Paris and will be open to the public until March 25.
