My assessment of Hong Kong Fashion Week is that first and foremost, I either missed the “insanity” or it just wasn’t there. Now granted, Hong Kong is not Paris, Milan or New York City, but it’s still up there. Not to say that the event wasn’t huge, but I wasn’t ever packed like a sardine into any media hole. Perhaps it’s because we were in such a big space that the “a ton” of people could have felt like “holy cow there is no room to breathe” if confined to a smaller area.
On the FTV side of things, I think we hit all of the bases. The press conference was successful, the line was well received and we now have a great starting point to proceed with the marketing of the collection. It’s a shame this ship can’t hurry up and make it over to the US for NYC’s fashion week in early February. Not only would I love to see the spectacle, but I miss New York. No, I’m not from the city that never sleeps, but I’ve had enough perfect moments there for me to call it one of my favorite places on Earth.
But New York is not what this blog is about. This blog is about a pretty awesome ship that goes all over the world promoting an international network as well as young people in the fashion industry. And…. It’s fun. The ship is just fun. Nothing else like it exists.
So in re-reading the last few paragraphs, I realize that I’m in a very curious mood at the moment, and nothing is really coherent.
Pick up your fingers and step away from the laptop.
