Fendi recently hosted a pop-up exhibition to celebrate the opening of their refurbished Landmark flagship store. Located right inside one of Hong Kong’s glitziest shopping malls, the exhibition entitled “Fendi: Un Art Autre” explored the brand’s heritage and showcased key items from the luxury fur label’s archive. Karl Lagerfeld‘s sketches were displayed alongside a genuine working table covered in fur pelts as well as a wall covered in the brand’s most iconic handbags. Interactive boards allowed visitors to delve deeper into the brand’s history and the design process behind each garment on display. Following on the footsteps of recent exhibitions by brands such as Hermès, I’m sure there will be many more to come as international labels realise the power of targeting Mainland Chinese core consumers right where they are shopping.

Fendi最近主办一个展览，庆祝他们翻新的Landmark旗舰店开幕。位于右内香港最繁华的购物商场之一，这次展览题为“Fendi： Un Art Autre“探索品牌的遗产和展示了从奢华皮草品牌档案的关键项目。Karl Lagerfeld的草图显示一起真正工作表皮毛覆盖毛皮，以及墙上覆盖在该品牌的最具标志性的手袋。交互式屏幕允许游客深入到品牌的历史和展出的每件衣服后面的设计过程。类似于近期的展览，由爱马仕等品牌，我肯定会有更多的展览来,因为国际品牌意识到针对中国内地核心消费者他们哪里购物的力量。

Two weeks ago Hermès opened one of the best fashion exhibitions Hong Kong has hosted in a long time. This month-long, fantastic exhibition explores the brand’s inherent and intricate relationship with leather and is located at Hong Kong’s newest creative hub PMQ. The Leather Forever exhibition is spread over 13 rooms and showcases dozens of items from the label’s archives and workrooms. Leather hides in a multitude of colours are draped around the first room which also has a fun interactive display (see image three below) that displays the pattern of three of Hermès iconic handbags onto a leather hide. There is also a jacket designed by Jean Paul Gaultier as well as a workstation in the same room. The following rooms showcase dozens of the heritage brand’s must-have accessories such as the Kelly, horse saddles, driving gloves, luggage, travel cases, dog collars and even a motorbike covered in leather. The exhibition is full of high-tech displays and is a real visual feast, which ends on a fun note of two handbags ‘dancing’ against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s neon skyline. Only open for one more week until the 28th Sept, this is a definite must-see.

10 years ago this year, the legendary and iconic show Sex and the City came to a tear-jerking finale. To honor this anniversary I watched all six seasons – 94 episodes and over 24 hours of the glamorous, witty and provocative show and chose a selection of my favorite Carrie Bradshaw outfits.
