Bright Sun Caring: What You Wear Tomorrow: Co-design & Youth development

Fashion styling is always a combination of creative minds, interaction among people and textile materials. In the campaign tagged “#WYWT- What You Wear Tomorrow”, Bright Sun jointly worked with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to implement cooperation between the industry and educational sector in validating mutual vision of community care. University students, by participating the service-learning course, interacted with teenagers from Youth Crime Prevention Centre of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups adopting Bright Sun’s “Graphic Fun” textile collection to develop fashion of tomorrow.

The Chief Commissioner from Bright Sun Caring Committee brought out the bright and colorful theme of the selected textile collection and elaborated to all participants the possibilities in fashion concept. Physical meeting was emphasized not only about knowledge transmission, but also people-to-people connection to encourage the youngsters for creativity, connectivity and enjoying the process of textile & garment designing. As per Bright Sun’s belief, design, delivering, and alive concept build for better future.

Just as in the same thread as textile knitting process of joining one thread to another, all participants were engaged interactively through discussion, brainstorming, and sewing step. The final catwalk evidenced their talents but importantly the brightening hearts of caring and future anticipating. Bright Sun as the material sponsor and sole strategic partner, was glad to witness the positive results of the event.
