Hong Kong stars and fashion darlings made the opening of a new exhibition at the city’s K11 Musea mall and art space a glamorous affair.

Dressed to the nines in haute couture, their appearance at the opening party for “The Love of Couture: Artisanship in Fashion Beyond Time” kicked off the holiday season.

The spectacle, held in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in England, was dreamed up by production designer William Chang Suk-ping.

The award-winning costume designer, editor and art director has worked on films including Wong Kar-wai’s In The Mood For Love and The Grandmaster.

The exhibition explores haute couture through the decades and celebrates the contemporary styles of six emerging Asian designers: Tomo Koizumi, Yueqi Qi, Ryunosuke Okazaki, Celine Kwan, Sensen Lii and Sohee Park.

Although the soirée is only in its second year, it has become one of the city’s most talked about events, and attendees are expected to bring their fashion A-game with red carpet-worthy ensembles that echo the exhibit’s theme.
