The history of Hong Kong fashion

Hong Kong is a busy metropolis and the busy city is not without style! Hong Kong has a vibrant and colorful history of fashion.

Before China became the manufacturing giant that it is today, most of the world looked to Hong Kong for skilled tailors and designers that could develop their brands and labels, according to an online portal called Time Out.

For much of the Western world Hong Kong was a gateway into Asia. As cultural mixing began, so did the development of our city’s unique culture and its East-meets-West fashion sensibilities.

To celebrate the beautiful fashion culture of Hong Kong, why not take a look back through the decades of fashion from the 1950s right up to the 1990s.
