Hong Kong's designers have taken the world by storm in the past few years, proving just how serious fashion is in the city where East meets West.

Chic local brands and international design houses rub shoulders in exclusive outlets throughout the territory and chain stores bring the styles to the streets.

Renowned Hong Kong designers, such as Vivienne Tam, William Tang and Walter Ma, have stylish boutiques, while cheap and cheerful styles can be found in outlet stores. There is something for every fashion finder's budget and plenty for those who want to make a style statement all of their own.

For something unique, why not have an outfit custom-made at one of the many reputable and famous tailors. Suits, shirts, skirts and evening gowns can be created to suit the most elaborate or sedate of tastes. A figure-hugging traditional cheongsam (Chinese dress) might make the perfect gift for yourself or someone special. Hong Kong's tailors also boast a wide range and high quality of wedding garments. Besides, furs bought in Hong Kong are often of higher quality but are much cheaper than in most Western cities.

 

Accessories

Any outfit just isn't complete without the perfect accessories.

Many Hong Kong stores specialise purely in fashion accessories, and it's possible to find the perfect trimmings for any outfit, in any style. Whether it's hair accessories, gloves, scarves or simply something a little different, Hong Kong is the right place to go hunting.

 

Babies & Maternity Wear

Searching for babies clothes or maternity wear is easy and extremely accessible in Hong Kong.

Shopping for maternity wear has never been easier. Most shopping areas have a high concentration of shops catering for expectant mothers. Whether you're browsing through malls, department stores, designer retailers or factory outlets, shopping for clothing for mothers and babies is easy. Babies' clothing is well catered for, with many stores focussing purely on fashion items for new family members.

 

Children's Wear

Children aren't left out either in this fashion paradise. For both teens and younger children, there is a wide variety of stylish and fashionable clothing readily available. For more formal occasions or casual wear, you'll be able to pick up something with ease in one of the many malls, department stores, designer retailers or factory outlets.

 

Custom Tailors

Quality is the order of the day when it comes to custom made clothes in Hong Kong. That means at least two fittings - for women as well as men, even for copies of an existing garment. Hong Kong's tailors carry a stock of quality fabrics and fabric shops abound.

Most tailors file their customers' measurements and are happy to make up long-distance orders months, or even years, later.

 

Furs

Fancy snuggling into a silver mink this winter?

Top-quality furs retail for as much as 50 per cent less in Hong Kong than in the traditional markets of North America and Europe. This year's fashion choice has been ranch-bred mink and fox, mainly from the USA and Scandinavia. Most furriers offer tailoring services in addition to off-the-rack garments.

You may have to refer to customs regulations in your home country to check on any restrictions that apply to importing furs.

 

Gentlemen's Wear

Fashion is of equal importance to Hong Kong's men as it is to women.

Exclusive menswear outlets stock a wide range of clothing and accessories. The helpful staff will be sure to assist you with any gift or personal selection.
