DUSTY, a lowkey but cult-loved streetwear label born in 1997 in Hong Kong, has quietly resurfaced with its FW25 Drop 1, and it’s making noise in all the right circles.
Titled “Born in the Street. Back to the Street,” the collection marks a confident return to the brand’s roots: understated design, local symbolism, and a rebellious spirit that’s always been more about authenticity than hype.

The collection leans into utilitarian minimalism with a distinctly local edge.
From a washed tee with its subtle ‘97 tag to a military shirt embroidered with bold insignias, making each piece a nod to Hong Kong’s street culture.
The collection also features a trio of raised stars, an homage to the three stars found on Hong Kong ID cards, layered over leather detailing for a look that’s understated but unmistakably personal. Even the Shorts are built for the city grind, with water-resistant fabric and double-layered zip pockets for function that doesn’t sacrifice form.
Courtesy of DUSTY
As part of the FW25 Drop 1 campaign, DUSTY tapped into Hong Kong’s underground music scene by featuring KZ, a local rapper in its promotional shoot, bringing raw energy to match the brand’s streetwise aesthetic.
The collaboration underscores DUSTY’s commitment to elevating homegrown talent and reinforces its deep ties to the city’s creative subcultures. By blending fashion and music, the campaign becomes a cultural statement that speaks directly to the streets it was born from.
Founded in 1997, DUSTY was one of Hong Kong’s earliest streetwear pioneers. The brand quickly gained traction for its gangster rap-inspired graphics and rebellious design philosophy, “Rebel Without a Pause.” After a period of quiet, its return is a reclamation of identity.
The FW25 Drop 1 is now available online and at select retailers like Avenue Hong Kong. Follow the brand on Instagram and stay tuned for their upcoming release.

If fashion is a mirror of society, then one of the runways at CENTRESTAGE in Hong Kong just reflected something bold, urgent, and refreshingly hopeful. The Redress Design Award 2025, the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition, returned this September with a powerful message: creativity can be circular.
Instagram/ CENTRESTAGE
Hosted at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the finale brought together ten emerging designers from across the globe, each selected for their innovative approach to reducing fashion waste.
The event was part of CENTRESTAGE, Asia’s premier fashion showcase, where country pavilions like the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia added vibrant cultural context to the international spotlight.

This year marked a historic first: two joint First Prize winners were crowned.
Hugo Dumas from France impressed judges with a zero-waste collection focused on regeneration and recyclability, while Carla Zhang from Mainland China presented handwoven pieces crafted from surplus cords and yarns sourced from factories. Both winners will receive mentorship from fashion icon Flora Cheong-Leen and present their work at GREENEXT Expo 2025 in Shanghai.

Other standout awards included the People’s Choice, won by Mara San Pedro from the Philippines, and the Hong Kong Best Prize, awarded to Nathan Moy. The full roster of finalists featured talents from South Korea, South Africa, Germany, Canada, the USA, and more — each pushing boundaries in sustainable design.
Founded by Hong Kong-based NGO Redress, the award is more a competition and a movement. With over 330 alumni and 23,000 designers educated globally, Redress continues to challenge the fashion industry’s reliance on virgin materials and landfill-bound textiles. Even the collections were shipped using DHL’s GoGreen Plus service, reducing carbon emissions.
As fashion grapples with its environmental footprint, these designers are proving that style and sustainability can, and must, coexist.
Explore the finalists and their collections at Redress’ website, and witness how the next generation is stitching a new narrative for fashion by staying tuned with Redress’s Instagram and Facebook.

French luxury house Hermès will be staging its Fall/Winter 2025 Men’s Fashion Show at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal on Sept. 19, 2025, making its return to the city, blending heritage and modernity forward.

Designed under the artistic eye of Véronique Nichanian, the F/W 2025 collection masterfully fuses refinement, comfort, and urban sophistication, carrying the theme “Ready-Set-Casaque!” — a tribute that purposefully blends the spirited energy of Hong Kong’s equestrianism and jockeys’ silks with the classic tastes of modern menswear.
Photo from Website/Hermès, Bruno Staub
The show features a wardrobe of sharp silhouettes and sculpted lines, with rich, earthy tones of browns and charcoals complemented with bright pops of reds and yellows that were inspired by racing silks. Coats that stretch over narrow or wide trousers, short volumes, soft shoulders are balanced with trousers with sharp lines, balaclavas, blanket-finished parkas, and diagonal lines all melt into an urban collection — where geometry meets contemporary city life.
Hermès’ Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear collection reveals a vision of apparel that is both new and infinite — dynamic, urbane, and utterly confident.

If eyewear could talk, polette’s new FUCK Edition would even be shouting the F word proudly and unapologetically. On Sept. 6, 2025, the brand dropped its boldest collection yet at its Central flagship store, and the launch party literally took the city by storm as the typhoon rolled in the next evening. Was it by coincidence or perfectly planned out?
Courtesy of polette
Featuring two standout models crafted from acetate, I DON’T GIVE A (HK$1,400) and WHAT THE (HK$1,400), the collection is designed with exaggerated temple volumes and a silhouette that dares you to look away. Both models are available in two colors, and beneath the bold aesthetics lies functionality. Every prescription lens comes equipped with UV400 protection, anti-reflective coating, and anti-scratch technology. The exclusively designed Fuckin’ Chain and a black case are available to go with the special edition.
Having made a statement with its name, one wouldn't expect subtlety on the guest list of FUCK Edition's launch party. And the deeper message the brand wishes to convey makes it more than just another new collection. Because it’s a middle finger to conformity, a wink to self-expression, and a love letter to anyone who dresses authentically for themselves.

The Saturday evening party matched the collection’s edgy energy, while the overall decor of the store leaned into clean lines, bold contrasts, and just enough edge to make every moment feel intentional, offering an intimate atmosphere for a special night of social gathering.
Led by the sound of the hip-hop set spun by DJ Nip Lung upstairs, guests, a mix of fashion insiders and creatives, flowed into the store, welcomed by drinks and bites from Boon, Pigsmanhk, Young Master Brewery, and more. The night also saw surprise appearances from influencer Adekunbi Salako (非洲王子), rapper-producer Chefwest, rapper-dancer JB (Jiggle Boy), and more, making it extra unique.

One of the most magnetic spots of the night was the photo booth — a metallic, mirrored corner that turned into a runway of rebellion. With reflective walls and a curated eyewear display, it became the go-to spot for selfies, spontaneous shoots, and bold declarations of style.
Ready to speak your style? The FUCK Edition is available now at polette’s Hong Kong store. Check out the collection via their website, and follow the brand’s Instagram and Facebook for more information and launch party highlights.
Location: Shop No.1, G/F, Sun Fung Mansion, 52-60 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central

lululemon is redefining the future of fashion with pre-loved garments. From Sept. 17 to 21, 2025, the brand will host its "Like New" Pop-Up Event at PMQ, Central, inviting the public to shop curated pre-loved activewear, join hands-on workshops, and celebrate mindful movement through a run & coffee party.
Photo from Website/lululemon
The pop-up marks Phase 2 of lululemon’s "Like New" pilot in Hong Kong, following a successful Phase 1 product take-back initiative held from April to August. During that phase, over 3,800 gently worn items were collected across select stores, sorted by Redress, a Hong Kong-based nonprofit championing circular fashion, and prepared for resale or repair.
V Cycle supported reverse logistics, ensuring all items were responsibly consolidated and delivered for sorting. Unsellable or unsold pieces will be donated to Crossroads or redirected to local communities in need.
Photo from Website/lululemon
Now, lululemon is unveiling the results with a professionally cleaned and restored collection of high-quality gear, available for purchase at the pop-up. The event is powered by a meaningful collaboration with Redress, with lululemon pledging to donate either 100% of net profits or 2% of revenue (whichever is higher) to support sustainable fashion initiatives.
In the initiative’s series of events, guests can also participate in upcycling workshops, crafting accessories like scrunchies and keychains from repurposed materials. Each session costs HK$100 and is redeemable as credit toward same-day purchases.
Another highlight of the week is the "Like New Run x Coffee Rave" on Sept. 20, 2025, where guests will jog through Central with lululemon ambassadors Calvin Au Yeung and Stephanie Cuvelier before dancing into the morning at PMQ’s coffee rave with Bad Time Disco’s co-founder, Ani Phoebe, on the deck.
While the "Like New Pop-Up" is a walk-in only event, guests can register via Eventbrite for the workshops here and the Run x Coffee Rave here.

If jeans are essential in your wardrobe and you're a fan of Japanese denim, you’re going to love this.
With a preview over the last weekend on August 15, 2025, Levi’s® is gearing up for the launch of its new Blue Tab™ collection in Hong Kong, set to drop on Aug. 21, with a second wave arriving in October. Designed for denim lovers who appreciate craftsmanship and culture, the collection blends premium Japanese fabric with reimagined silhouettes and a rich palette of washes, making it a bold evolution for the brand.
Courtesy of Levi’s® Hong Kong
Crafted with top-tier denim from Japan’s Kaihara Mill, the Blue Tab™ line showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and detail. The silhouettes move beyond classic cuts, offering jackets, trousers, and layering pieces. A spectrum of washes, from raw indigo to sun-faded tones, adds depth and personality to each garment.
In an exclusive showcase we witnessed the collection unfold across four distinct, fashion-forward themes, each telling a story through texture, tone, and tailoring.
The Mariner draws inspiration from naval utility wear, featuring neppy selvedge denim and salt-washed finishes that evoke deep-sea hues. Outerwear is lightly quilted in satin, while bottoms are constructed with authentic detailing and transitional weight fabrics.
Santa Fe Shank channels the earthy elegance of the American Southwest. Using natural-toned Japanese denim with a desert sand rinse, the pieces offer convertible silhouettes and rugged hardware, making it perfect for adaptable styling across seasons.

Coming in October, The Moto brings a sleek, road-ready edge to the collection. Crafted from Japanese powder denim dyed black and washed for texture, the pieces emphasize flattering seam work and bold silhouettes designed for confident, fashion-forward wearers.
Finally, The Art of Embroidery showcases Levi’s® craftsmanship at its most intricate. Featuring embroidery that functions as both decoration and structural design, this theme transforms classic denim into textured, statement-making garments as a fusion of traditional technique and modern aesthetics.

Adding another layer of artistry to the preview experience was Bam-Blue, an installation by local artist Jinno Neko from Meow Kee (貓記紮作). Constructed from bamboo and Levi’s® denim, the piece fused Japanese koinobori motifs with traditional papier-mâché techniques, symbolizing strength, movement, and the future of denim design.
Stay tuned for Aug. 21, 2025, for a chance to browse and shop Levi’s® Blue Tab™ in person and follow Levi’s® Hong Kong on Instagram or check out their website for more information.

In case you missed Takashi Murakami's whimsical cherry blossom oasis at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025, Ohana Hatake has made its official debut in the city at Pacific Place in Admiralty.
Step into the retail destination this August and you’ll find its Garden Court transformed into a mesmerizing dreamscape that’s blooming with imagination. From July 31 to August 13, the mall’s latest campaign, Summer in Full Bloom, brings Japanese artist Takashi Murakami’s Ohana Hatake to Hong Kong for its official launch, in a pop-up that’s part art installation, part retail experience, and all sensory delight.
Courtesy of Pacific Place
Presented in collaboration with Complex Chinese, the event marks Murakami’s footwear brand’s debut in the city, coinciding with Pacific Place’s role as the official mall partner of ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025.
At the heart of it all is a surreal floral dreamscape, showcasing a large-scale hanging cherry blossom centerpiece surrounded by blooming trees and vibrant florals, all echoing Murakami’s signature Superflat aesthetic. The result is a space that feels more like a garden in motion than a shopping mall.
Courtesy of Pacific Place
Inside the installation, visitors can browse exclusive Ohana Hatake merchandise, including two footwear styles in twelve colorways, with four new shades released in phases over the two-week run. The pop-up also offers an incentive: spend HK$800 or HK$1,500 in same-day electronic purchases at Pacific Place or Starstreet Precinct to redeem a specially brewed Ohana Hatake coffee or limited-edition tote bag, respectively. Redemptions are available daily while supplies last.
Beyond the retail and rewards, the installation invites guests to linger, explore, and engage with Murakami’s world, where nature meets pop art, and summer feels like a canvas. With opening hours from 11am to 8pm, it’s a perfect midday escape or post-work wander.
Courtesy of Pacific Place
Whether you’re chasing cherry blossoms or just looking for a fresh way to experience the city, Summer in Full Bloom offers a rare chance to see Pacific Place through a more whimsical lens.
