Design Challenge: The most challenging part was finding an impartial concept for the fashion industry worked with the various fashion genres exhibiting at this fair. Aesthetically, the organiser design had to uplift the fairs image and be engaging and instagrammable to the thousands of visitors. With so many ideas at the early concept research, it was decided the Fashion Laundrette idea would be the most appealing one to developed to tackle this brief.
Research: The research was based on the fashion trend forecast consultant predictions on upcoming colours and textiles for the next season. This was mixed with the question of how to provide a impartial yet eye catching theme related to the fashion and clothing industry. With all this researched a fun and holistic development emerged. Hence, a series of thematic settings based on 1980s laundromat culture under the concept the Fashion Laundrette began.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from the design brief of the organiser which stipulates a neutral yet eye catching approach to compliment the various genres of fashion brands exhibiting at the fair. A generic fun creative development began by making a laundromat themed inspired by the 1980s to dress 3 communal spaces. Furthermore, each installation echoed the latest colours trend for the upcoming season from the trend consultant of the fashion industry.
Project Duration: The project duration was 3 months from initial briefing to onsite completion. It was located at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, Hong Kong and the event ran for 4 days starting from the 14th until the 17th of January 2019.
Operation Flow: The flow was important as both the welcome installation and hall entry treatment were created to heighten the visitors first impression before they entered the exhibition booths inside the trade fair. Inside the exhibition hall, visitors can easily find the central multifunctional space which echoed the Fashion Laundrette concept. The design work of the organiser was a transformative tool to image uplift this fashion event.
