HKFG SS22 at Paris Fashion Week
by Anna Barr
Fashion Farm Foundation returned to Paris Fashion Week this season for HKFG Spring Summer 2022 with three emerging designers. Over the two-day installation, industry insiders got to experience in-person screenings of three short fashion films and take a look at the upcoming collections. Since 2013 Fashion Farm Foundation (FFF) has been organizing HKFG bringing a spotlight on Hong Kong designers at Paris Fashion Week and this edition saw three homegrown labels PabePabe, PONDER.ER and VANN present.
HKFG once again was listed on the official calendar of the Paris Fashion Week selected by Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM), and while everyone around the world could experience the digital calendar platform, Paris based photographer Krystal Kenney captured editors, stylists, journalist, buyers, merchandisers, and trendsetters in attendance.
Take a look below:
