Fifteen gifted young designers presented their collections at the glittering evening function which was attended by key figures in the region's fashion industry. For the past four years the Asia Pacific Young Fashion Designers' Show has been a stepping stone to fashion success not only for the winners but the participants as well. The show allows the designs of up-and-coming young fashion professionals to be seen on the international stage as the global industry's eyes are on Hong Kong for Fashion Week.
