Platforms of the future
The future of fashion in Asia is independently and slowly detaching from the West.

The Philippine delegation to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s ‘Fashion in Style.’
The Philippines took part in the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC)’s Fashion in Style, which ran from 27 to 30 April at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was a monumental event that served as an all-in-one sourcing platform, featuring everything from garments and designer labels to upstream products like fabrics and clothing accessories, as well as the latest fashion technologies.
HKTDC extended an invitation to a buying mission to members of the Philippine Fashion Coalition (PFC). Themed zones were designed to meet diverse industry needs. Traditional zones like Men in Style, Women in Style and Knitwear offered basic mass merchandise, while specialized zones namely Athleisure, Bridal & Evening Wear, Kids’ Wardrobe, Salon Lingerie & Loungewear and Urban Clothing featured the latest designs. The highlighted Fashion Tech zone focused on showcasing innovative fashion technologies and trade services.
