A finalist in the New Fashion Collection Award, Jeff Man of M Tex International, is presenting his 'Party for Clones' collection under the theme that cloned people will become an integral part of society one day. 'They would go to cocktail parties as normal human beings some day. I want to project a sense of happiness and a feeling of confinement of the clones [because they are controlled by their human counterparts],' Mr Man said. 'For the female clones, I mix tube tops with dresses and trousers, adding metal necklaces and bracelets. For the male clones, I go for flamboyance. I use some large bright-coloured imitation gemstones and lengthened the edge of the shirts to make them dress-like.' The 'tight-fitting' collection mixes cool colours with a dash of warm ones, like black and white mixed with red and green. Graphics such as stripes, circles and curves are used liberally to add interest.
