With Sands Resorts Macao getting ready to launch its first ever Sands Macao Fashion Week Oct. 19–24, 2017, the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center (CPTTM) is participating in two of the events, shining a spotlight on some of Macao’s local fashion designers.
On Oct. 21, CPTTM will present the closing runway show at Shoppes at Parisian’s Avenue Des Champs Elysees, set against the backdrop of The Parisian Macao’s Eiffel Tower. The show features eight local Macao designers and brands showcasing over 50 looks.
In addition, from Oct. 19 to 24, CPTTM is hosting a fashion designer exhibition at the rotunda at Shoppes at Parisian, featuring five local designers showcasing 10 different looks.
These five local designers are part of CPTTM’s Fashion Incubation Programme (MaConsef) 2017, which offers a platform for locals interested in going into the fashion industry to hone their talents. The programme aims to improve the knowledge and technical skills of young fashion designers, helping them to build a solid foundation before they step into the industry. MaConsef is focused on fostering the “Design in Macao” concept in line with the Macao government’s policy plan to promote and support Macao’s cultural and creative industries.
Shuen Ka Hung, director-general of CPTTM, said: “CPTTM is very pleased to be invited to participate in Sands Macao Fashion Week. Committed to nurturing more talent for Macao and driving forward the local fashion industry, we launched MaConsef in 2008 so that young fashion designers can better understand fashion brand management and market operations, which in turn promotes the development of the fashion industry. This event, which is to be held at The Parisian Macao, an integrated tourism and leisure resort, not only serves as a platform for local fashion designers to showcase their work, but also helps foreign visitors deepen their understanding of local fashion brands and designs.”
Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said: “It is a pleasure for Sands China Ltd. to be able to collaborate again with CPTTM during Sands Macao Fashion Week. Supporting Macao’s cultural and creative industries is important to our company, and we’re very pleased that this event can provide a platform for Macao’s local fashion designers to showcase their creativity and unique talents.”
Running Oct. 19–24, 2017, Sands Macao Fashion Week is designed to showcase the many leading luxury and lifestyle fashion brands across Shoppes at Four Seasons, Shoppes at Venetian, Shoppes at Parisian and Shoppes at Cotai Central. The six days of fashion events and promotions include runway and boutique shows at Shoppes at Venetian and Shoppes at Parisian and exhibitions at Shoppes at Four Seasons and Shoppes at Parisian, highlighting current collections, along with fashion parades and other events open for the public to enjoy.
