CHAT 2023 Research Grant Presentation on Cantopop Stage Wear

Join us for a presentation by Lionel Wong, recipient of CHAT 2023 Research Grant, on his research paper ‘Interwoven – A Fashion Design Story for Cantopop Stage Wear’, which offers unique perspectives on this under-studied aspect of Cantopop. The research focuses on the interwoven relationships among the creative parties involved and their methods of problem-solving for realising mesmerising yet functional stage wear for performance.

All are welcome, especially those interested in the history of Hong Kong fashion, costume and popular culture. Wong will share his research motivations, methods, case studies, analyses, conclusion and more. The presentation will be conducted in English and will end with a Q&A session.
