Fashion Forward:

Hong Kong-based students shone at this year’s SCAD Fashion Showcase.

Check out the super SCAD showcase

In January, Sham Shui Po was bustling with the future stars of fashion, as Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students from Hong Kong and afar gathered for the Design College’s sixth annual Fashion Showcase. The Expat Living team has attended this annual event for years.

It’s an evening that harbours an impressive creative energy. SCAD’s Hong Kong campus is renowned for its reinvention. It’s a clever repurpose of what was once the delinquent and historic North Kowloon Magistracy Building. The entire site is inspired – a history-meets-creativity modern venue like no other.

But enough about the stage; what’s truly impressive at this annual show is what is on the stage – the student talent.

SCAD’s annual fashion showcase hosts top fashion graduate students and recent alumni from across SCAD’s four locations to participate in the annual event. The show, hosted by the Hong Kong campus, falls as part of the university’s offering for students to connect with the industry’s leading names and prepare students for commercial success, postgraduation.

This year, two students stole the show. These were Ivy Lam and Yasmin Baratova, both of whom attend SCAD Hong Kong.
