SUMMARY:Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:‘Made in Hong Kong’ is a distinguishing emblem of quality and history that has carried different meanings over the generations past. \nIn the ‘Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation’ video series\, ‘makers’ of textiles from knotted fishnets to tailored saam fu are invited to share their making process\, practice and their thoughts on the continued importance of ‘Made in Hong Kong’. Topics of discussion will reflect on the displayed objects of Misfitted: Unspoken Stories of Tailoring and past displays at The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery. \nMakers of Hong Kong: The Tailoring Story of Linda Lee \nLinda Lee served as the costume director of The City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) for over 30 years. Since each performance costume is unique and created based on the specific needs of the costume designers\, choreographers\, and dancers\, as the costume director\, she often had to navigate and mediate between the three parties to satisfy their diverse\, and sometimes conflicting\, requirements. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Story of Navy’s Tailor Tony Wong \nIn 1949\, Tony Wong’s father followed the large number of Shanghai tailors who moved south to Hong Kong\, and opened the Fu Shing tailoring label at Fenwick Pier\, where he served the U.S. sailors and officers to tailor their uniforms and suits \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: The Story of Former Garment Worker Wong To Yuen \nBy the late 1960s\, an abundance of technical schools were established and attended by factory workers seeking upward mobility and those who wanted to produce the latest Western fashion for themselves. Former garment worker Wong To Yuen studied at one of the technical schools back in the days. Her final coursework consisted of a casual outfit and a night gown\, which she not only designed and made but also modelled at the graduation show! \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: A Family’s Tailor \nIn this interview\, the Tsui sisters recount their childhood in 1950s and 60s Hong Kong\, when their amah doubled as a housemaid and an at-home family’s tailor\, creating everything from a child’s mini wadded jacket to a cheongsam belonging to a young lady. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Tracing Wax Prints \nWhat is Ankara fabric exactly? In this episode of ‘Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation\,’ we have the pleasure of inviting fashion stylist Jaho Anita from Nigeria to provide insights into the fascinating world of Ankara fabric and its production process! \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Knitting Shared Memories  \nIn this interview with veteran knitwear producer Miranda Wong (Founder\, Ms-Square) and emerging designer Phyllis Chan (Co-Founder\, YanYan Knits)\, the pair engage in a cross-generational dialogue on the development of the local knitwear industry since the 1980s with particular focus on market environment\, emergence of original designs and unique operation models. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Collecting Patterns \nJohn Wu (graphic designer and collector) shares on his appreciation of the patterned wrapping papers of department stores in Hong Kong. In the process\, he describes the development of local packaging design and reveals how patterns reflect Hong Kong’s divergent consumer culture. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: From Brocades to Neckties \nChuk Sheung Yu (former silk weaver) and K. K. Tung (Founder\, Tung’s Computer Weaving Neckties Centre) share on their career development in the local silk industry. Their stories reveal how\, since the 1930s\, the industry has continuously adapted to market conditions to create unique textile designs and business models. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Tales of Tablecloths \nGuest host and senior textile industry advisor Albert Chan introduces various weaving techniques and speaks to Gigi Ng\, the 4th generation successor of Ser Wong Fun restaurant.
