Through four thematic exhibition zones at the iconic venue, visitors were able to experience innovation and traditional craftsmanship from 70 local fashion design units hailing from different generations and creative styles.

The four zones featured installations inspired by Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, and Paris, reimagining and contrasting different cultural identities juxtaposed with the creator’s own. Curated virtual images were also available for a synchronised virtual reality (VR) fashion experience.

At the Juxtaposed 2022 FASHION META’s opening ceremony, the Young Talent Awards were also presented, to local fashion designers Tiger Chung and Alex Tse.

A pop-up shop enabled guests to synchronise their visitor experience with online shopping, seamlessly merging the traditional customer experience with a curated fashion exhibition. Through the latest encryption technology and works from Artify and NFT marketplace BOAX, Juxtaposed 2022 FASHION META also launched the first NFT fashion collection from Hong Kong designers.

Through this pop-up shop, unique, contemporary looks from 12 local fashion designers have entered Web3 and are now available on the global virtual market, hailing a new wave of fashion that further blurs the lines between reality and virtuality.
