This Year’s K11 Night will be co-chaired by Tim Reeve, deputy director and chief operating office of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum; and Hong Kong film director and costume designer William Chang Suk-ping.
The V&A is known for being the world’s largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design, and will be K11’s museum partner this year. Under the curatorial direction of Reeve, V&A’s project curator Claire Allen-Johnstone and Chang, six emerging fashion designers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea will create bespoke couture pieces that are inspired by V&A’s collection of British and French womenswear throughout history, whilst incorporating East Asian elements.
