Fur, faux or not, will always be in fashion and nothing showcased this better than the Hong Kong Fur Design Competition.
With the theme 'Galaxy Superstar' harking back to '80s-inspired colors and looks, the Hong Kong Fur Design Competition featured two categories: Full Fur and Fur Combination (no mention of faux). Winners included Yeung Long Hei, Wong Chau Hung and Yau Yim Fun Natalie, with designs ranging from fur-trimmed capes and ponchos to full fur vests and floor sweeping gowns.
