HONG KONG | Culturally diverse, playfully and creative are probably the best words to describe SCAD Hong Kong's 2017 fashion showcase. It's a dynamic and highly professional fashion show where senior fashion students and alumni from 9 different countries have the opportunity to display their creations, annually.
The show was hosted in SCAD Hong Kong's magical building: The North Kowloon Magistracy located in the heart of Sham Shui Po district. The building (1960) was designed by Palmer and Turner Architects; and it used to be the magistrate’s court and offices until 2005. SCAD masterfully renovated the building by keeping it's heritage while turning it into a hub for creativity in one of Hong Kong's most enchanting neighborhoods.
