The Fashion Hong Kong Runway Show rounded off the first day of CENTRESTAGE, the annual Asian fashion extravaganza, last night (4 September). Building on the previous year's fusion of fashion and ballet, this year's event took interdisciplinary collaboration one step further, enlisting Weeds of Fire director Steve Chan to narrate the latest collections of four Hong Kong fashion brands – ANGUS TSUI, röyksopp gakkai, selfFab. and Z I D I – through cinematic storytelling, inviting the audience to explore the fashion realm from a new perspective.

The show received enthusiastic acclaim from a multitude of industry professionals, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts. Notable attendees included Jennifer Yu, Alfred Hui, Philip Ng and Karl Ting.

This year's fashion showcase brings together participants from 18 countries and regions and features a record-breaking 250 local and international brands. For the first time, the event spans four days and offers free admission for fashion buyers and members of the public to explore and shop.
