A cut-out shift dress with transparent panels inspired by a daily Hong Kong ritual took top honours at the Seeing the Possibilities Fashion Show, an event aimed at the city's ethnic minority teenagers.
Fifteen-year-old Sanjila Gurung from Sir Ellis Kadoorie Secondary School won with her design titled "Dim Sum Dress".
The show was organised by Kely Support Group - a local non-governmental organisation for youth aged between 14 and 24. Its 15 participants were required to tell a Hong Kong story through their designs, and Sanjila says the dim sum basket was a huge source of inspiration.
"The top neck of the dress is the cover of a dim sum basket," Sanjila says. "The middle part is made with a crisscross method and represents the basket which holds the dim sum. The bottom part is the dim sum made from a plain white cloth. The inspiration for the dress comes from walking to the KCR every morning when I see people enjoying their dim sum breakfast. I chose dim sum as the theme of my dress as it is symbolic of the food culture in Hong Kong," she says.
"This is my first dress and my friend Aakriti helped me to create it. Linking the concept of food and fashion was not an easy task, but I love trying new things and challenging myself."
