It really has been forever since I updated my blog (one year almost to
the day!), but I want to share with you guys one of my most exciting
recent projects! It's an exhibition called The Taste of Summer Fashion
and it's in collaboration with K11, a mall here in Hong Kong that
combines shopping and art.

We decided on a Street Food x Fashion concept and I got to work sketching all 10 of the characters. I only had about 1 month for the project from conception to the final installation - so it was a bit crazy but I loved the feeling of diving into creating this world of characters.
I've been watching a lot of Ru Paul's Drag Race this year so when coming up with the ideas for each character I would ask myself "If this was the theme for the runway challenge what would I make and wear?"
Here are all the Misses I created for the exhibition each inspired by a food item commonly eaten here in Hong Kong:
Miss Peach Bun, Miss Ice Cream, Miss Iced Lemon Tea
Miss Tofu Flower, Miss Egg Waffle, Miss French Toast
Miss Siu Mai, Miss Egg Tart, Miss Fish Ball
K11 had a really sweet film crew and we created a few videos together, here is the most recent where I talk a little more about my inspirations for Miss French Toast and Miss Ice Cream, we're also doing a giveaway for a Taste of Summer Fashion sticker pack so don't forget to follow the instructions on their Facebook page to enter.
