  • Story Text: Hong Kong's fashion week continued with the creations
    of designers Pacino Wan and Walter Ma.



    Pacino Wan offered a whimsical and youthful collection
    of daywear which he says is designed for "normal", active
    people on the go, not only for those with model-slim
    physiques.

    Wan chose models of all shapes and sizes to show
    off his Fall/Winter 2000 collection of mostly earth tone
    dresses, coats and pants.

    Audience members were given flashing light
    necklaces, and there was a carnival-like atmosphere in the
    packed house.

    Wan even came on the stage himself and waltzed with one
    of his models.

    "I think that the goal for the fashion show now is
    to be really close to the real life, so for the really tall,
    the very perfect model, I think it's so far away from the
    audience, or from a normal person, " Wan said.

    "I think my design is not only for the perfect,
    it's for everybody, so I use different height people,
    different size, and I think they all look good on the stage, "
    he added.

    Walter Ma took a different approach for his Spring
    collection called 'Goldlush', opting to emphasize elegance and
    colour.

    His innovative mix of fabrics from denim and
    cotton to satin and leather is also a key feature.

    Ma says people still want to be sexy.

    "Most women, they like to show off their bodies,
    if they have a very good figure, and naturally we are
    targeting for girls who are looking for good things," Ma said.

    Hong Kong's Fashion Week will continue through
    Friday (July 14).
