An Interview with a London-based Hong Kong Fashion Designer Celine Kwan
Central to the showcase at ComplexCon is FabriX’s partnership with three emerging designers, carefully selected for their distinctive aesthetics, shared vision and savviness in social, trend and technology with FabriX. Celine Kwan has been FabriX’s closest collaborator since its very first show, exemplifying a partnership deeply rooted in creativity. Over the years, FabriX has witnessed the journey of “Holly” Celine’s beloved pet and constant muse, whose spirit continuously inspires her collections. This latest showcase tells the evolving story of Holly—from a “good girl” to an “I’m not cute” rebel, fiercely expressing her defiance beneath her seemingly adorable exterior.
Celine Kwan’s ‘NEVER CUTE, ALWAYS ADORABLE’ collection, revealed at ComplexCon Hong Kong through a FabriX collaboration, offers a daring new perspective on the brand. Moving beyond the traditionally ‘cute’ image, Kwan’s pieces incorporate striking graphic prints, sharp metal accents, and her signature dog designs. These designs capture a rebelliously cute essence, where punk influences blend seamlessly with flowing, airy shapes. This embodies the unrefined, youthful dynamism of a generation. A prime example is the fluffy puffy top-skirt set, showcasing Holly’s bold development by merging playful charm with daring defiance.
