Caryn Yap

Avant-garde French designer Ora-ito  is being lured back to our  sunny harbour  and plans to  open a studio here.

'I'll be coming back to Hong Kong soon because I want to open a little studio. I don't like very many countries, but I like Hong Kong very much. I want to design a big tower in Hong Kong,'  says Ito with a mischievous grin.

Ito was here  for an exhibition of his designs organised by Heineken and  fashion outlet D-Mop. It featured creations such as the Louis Vuitton 'Back-Up' rucksack, and monogrammed LV trainers and shoes,  adidas  perfume bottles and a series of Heineken Ito products.

Also at the event were Hong Kong urban artists including  Syan - also known as MC Yan from disbanded rap outfit LMF - comic book animator Li Chi-tak and the Brothers Free crew. The exhibition  ends next month.
