Hysan Place x YDC Collective Popup Store

"We believe in young people, and we must appreciate and treasure their creativity," says Ann Yip, Manager of Corporate Communications, Hysan Development Co. Ltd. Once again, this year Hysan Place is collaborating with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council to present the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ Contest (YDC). The winning collection "Emotion the Shift of the Self", created by the awarded designer Cady Lee, was inspired by the contradiction between imagination and reality, using bold silhouettes and liquid-effect prints to illustrate a surrealist aesthetic.  “The popup is running at Urban Sky in Hysan Place this year. Our wish is to promote local design and provide a stage for young people to unleash their creativity. ”Let creativity connects our community.

 

In recent years, Hysan Development Co. Ltd. and Lee Gardens Association are making joint effort to create a vibrant community in the neighbourhood of Lee Gardens. By collaborating with shops and various sectors, they are hosting different series of cultural, art activities and exhibitions in Urban Sky from time to time. The purpose is not only to connect the community, but to acknowledge our local creative force, and let art integrate into our daily life. " Hysan Development Co. Ltd. has been rooted in Causeway Bay for a century. We firmly believe that the value of a community lies in diversity, inclusivity, and sustainability." As the old saying goes, a single flower does not make spring; while one hundred flowers in full blossom bring spring to the garden. To achieve the co-existence and harmonious environment of old and new, communication is vital. "We are committed to creating a free, open, and cross-disciplinary space to strengthen the communication and connection between people."
