None of the designs on the Hong Kong catwalk last week would have looked out of place on the runways of New York, Paris, Milan or London.
Yet all of the clothes featured at the annual Graduation Fashion Show were created by students at the Hong Kong Design Institute and Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Lee Wai Lee).
The graduates were presenting their final designs while competing for cash prizes of up to HK$20,000 at the show held at the design institute's auditorium.
Under the watchful eye of a panel of expert judges, models showed off the different outfits accompanied by a frenzy of flashes, clicks and whirs from the photographers' cameras.
The catwalk models sashayed along a specially designed runway - built to resemble the letter M (or W, depending on which side you were sitting) - in time to pulsating music and ever-changing coloured lights.
The student designers, who had clearly worked hard to create the outfits, received thunderous applause at the end of the hour-long show. Most of them hope to become fashion designers and start their own brands in Hong Kong, or abroad.
