It is a shame that many stylists and fashion gurus anonymously agree that fashions in Thailand and many countries in Asia has taken influences from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is only a small island but full of important forces. Hong Kong is the third most important financial and banking center of the world next to New York and London and also located the essential deep sea port of the region. Therefore, many people come and bring modern technology and innovative knowledge as well as fashion to this small island all the time.
In our country, Hong Kong has been popular for fashion and shopping places for a really long time. If you don’t believe, try checking out the cool fashion areas such as Siam Square, Thai Airways market, Bon Marché market and etc. They mostly claim that they have in trend clothes directly from Hong Kong since these owners fly to shop there about 2-3 times a month.
Hong Kong has been exposed on the fashion cultures from both Westerners and Easterners along with leading brand names like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Bally, Loewe, Dolce Gabbana, Balenciaga and also the brands from local designers. These top global brands all have their branches in Hong Kong. Shopping areas can be found on almost every street as shopping can be started right away after coming out from any rail station. For instance, Admiralty area is full of fashion shops and big department stores which need more than a week to finish exploring.
Locals pass through these fashionable things everyday and soon it has become a part of their life which consequently they adopted it into their own style. This makes people in Hong Kong look cool and superior. On average, Hong Kong people has a salary of 100,000 Baht or 1250 US $) a month and they don’t have to worry about transportation fee because normally they use Subway or MRT (Mass Transit Railway), only millionaires will buy a car. Therefore, people have big saving money to spend on something cool like fashion.
(Real) Hong Kong people dress up as if they come out from Vogue, Elle magazines. Everyone dress up elegantly in different styles. Luckily, Hong Kong people accept that they are mixture of multi cultures so there is no limit of style and all can be approved. We can see Hip Hop gang, sporty trend, big Nike T shirt with limited edition Adidas shoes and skateboard walk along with hi so girls who fully covered by brand names, Dolce Gabbana skin tight dress, Emilio Pucci jacket, snake skinned Jimmy Choo shoe and latest season Gucci handbag without any funny feeling.
Fashion here is not only girl’s thing but boys are also fully dressed up. They mostly dress up like male models from magazine as well. It’s a benefit for a guy because they can have heaps of graceful outfits and don’t be accused for that as they might have if they live in some other countries. Whether they are big sunglasses, shiny leather shoes or brand name bags, Hong Kong guys go for it all.
Another advantage of Hong Kong is the weather. Over there, they have proper winter and summer weather (unlike Thailand that has only summer in 3 levels, hot, hotter and hottest). Therefore, their fashion is changed according to the season from tank top and short mini skirt in summer time to furry coat, scarf and boot in winter. It could be said that their fashion always keeps up with the European trends. For example, the balloon dress with a big belt and a pair of boot is a big hit this season, and Hong Kong girls are all wearing it without flaw. Anyone wants to go to Hong Kong, don’t forget to bring your best costumes to compete with the locals. Don’t just shop otherwise you may be accused as “good only at shopping but not good at dressing”
