Hong Kong
If you are like me you are watching Hong Kong with intense interest.
Never have we seen such bold street fashions and clear branding of a youth uprising that just screams to be adopted by the top fashion houses.
From the construction worker chic accessories such as hard hats, goggles, and gloves. To the populist pedestrian t-shirt and backpack teamed with a hint of freedom fighter makes Hong Kong 2019 the hottest trend going into November. Graffiti is making a retro/future comeback with a 1980's gritty inner-city urban decay vibe juxtapositioned against a futuristic cityscape.
Practical but powerfull.
We have started to see some products like the bra that becomes two face masks but this is just the tip.
And thematically opposed to the protestors you have the police, a futurist fantasy in tactical black and crome, welcome back military pockets in boot cut trousers, sharp shirts in black with an army green collar lining, or carbon fiber yoke. Think an iron fist in a carbon fiber glove, steel, and smoke.
Between them, they are putting the EXTRA back into the anti extradition law amendment bill, put your best fashion-forward foot down and storm the fashion legislature because your fashion style is always fully autonomous.
