However, one day as I walked through the park, I noticed tender leaves sprouting on the trees. Suddenly, I felt the beauty of nature's four seasons, and in that moment, my mood became calm.

It is more than a piece of art ostensible with layers of colors, but a world of motifs which are worthy exploring. In her 20th anniversary, the Studio presented the two art pieces to the Bright Sun management in expressing gratitude to the supports and continuous investment in validating creativity of textile design to the newest technology.

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.

To facilitate value of having university student in community caring attitude and attending to more precise social needs, Bright Sun has come up with a sustainable program with the University to roll the project in a long-term perspective. We would like to encourage all participants, the students, and the beneficiary parties, collaboratively formulated connectedness through textile materials, fashion creativity, idea, and people. Ultimately, we believe the people-to-people influence can be accumulated to form constructive power in the society.

Textile in Art & Design

Bright Sun has always focused on social integration, hoping to create a unique and sustainable living environment. Therefore, we collaborate with secondary school to hold a workshop for lace tile design, to allow students bring their artworks into their lives.

We introduced different lace products to students with a large variety of patterns. We encouraged them to try out another way to create. All participants were interested in lace design and application, so the response to the event was very enthusiastic.

From the selection of lace, cutting, collage to clay printing, we used lace to stimulate their imagination and creativity. The students can express and link their feelings to their works through the creative process. All of them had a fun experience in this sustainable activity.

The students were immersed in designing their artworks and molding their favorite lace patterns on the clay. The artpiece created with lace by the students were full of creativity, conscientiousness and uniqueness.

Bright Sun will continue the spirit of sustainability in art and promote it to our community. We sincerely hope that can be inherited, with our active initiation and participation into social engagement in value creation through social collaboration.

Our conviction: we rely on the new generation’s continue breakthrough and innovation.

Lace Up, GO, Dress Up & Athletic Leisure Studio Competition is an activity initiated by Bright Sun in collaboration with Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), to promote creativity and innovation in design, and to connect young designers with the industry.

“Lace Up” is about up-grading in convergence of lace, technology and other textile materials. Bright Sun, in her sustainable 4 product lines, includes Lace, Embroidery, Novelty mesh and Trim, mix & match with textile technology. Students could think out of the box by their innovative ideas on converging different material lines, creating new possibilities of design by the democratization of lace technological advancement.

Besides, sustainability also lies within the core values of the competition “GO, Dress Up”. Athleisure is now one of the most hybrid types of clothing in the world under pandemic, and it goes beyond intimate apparel. The direct touch between garment and body represents the style of sustainability, which also echoes with our core values: sustainable development in the society through social collaboration.

We are proud and delighted to sponsor the competition so as to strengthen the connection between the students and the industry, equipping our future pillars with more experience in design.

Given the 5th wave of epidemic outbreak in our community since February this year, Hong Kong Government further tightened social distancing measures, striving to commence the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) on April 22 as scheduled.

The Youth builds our future, DSE every year is always a hot social topic. In this new normal, we really concern about the serious illness, our challenging public health system and our “new normal” daily life. All these will create extra stress burden to the students this year.

Edmond says “My kid is studying in university now. Although she already passed her DSE, I know how that feeling for being a parent. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude and support to the DSE students. While they know there is always a backup or support behind, they will have a bigger heart to fight with a bigger puncher.

Being a father of two kids in secondary school, Anthony also expresses his concern. “Under the epidemic, students should stay tuned with all special arrangement from HK government and Education Department. Apart from all stationeries and supplies for exam, the students also need to prepare enough anti-epidemic medical supplies and protective gear. To have all documents and goods ready, so you can stay absolute focus to your exam.

Go in Action is always BS style.

We have colleagues whom are just graduated from university, some colleagues are parents with their kids in secondary school or even university. They all put their greetings on the message cards. “Believe in yourself, Anything is possible” is the message we want to deliver to the students. Hoping that they can be powered up with our support. Connect with people is always the spirit we strive for.

We also present them our 30th anniversary notebook sleeve together with the message card. This sleeve can help the students carry all their doc, stationaries, RAT kits, mask and also our support to the examination center.

We hope every little action BS does can help when it comes to supporting our community.

Although this epidemic has brought us a huge challenge, we trust positive thinking & confidence, caring, support and connection with each other, will make us stay well and live well everyday. Embrace hope and face challenge for the future.

We do not know if miracles will happen to any students(1) with our message card and our notebook sleeve. But this will definitely be a good memory for being blessed in one of their hard time throughout their life journey. Whenever they think about this puzzle piece, they will smile and bless the others.

As Bright Sun enters its 31st year, we firmly believe that our focus goes beyond lace production. Next to the lace lies a symbol of unity: the "+" sign, representing the collaboration between you and me. Going beyond our core business of design and lace manufacturing, Bright Sun aims to support various non-profit organizations in their charitable endeavors, leveraging the power of our company to foster a more inclusive and harmonious community.

Among these partnerships, Bright Sun enjoyed a longstanding collaboration with OIWA (Women’s Assocation). The "plus" symbol in our family services is the volunteer team that Bright Sun frequently dispatches. We join "Family Storytelling Project" for the parents and children of the Women’s Association, and actively participate to promote interaction and strengthen family relationships. Recognizing that the next generation is the future of society, Bright Sun invests significant resources in children and youth activities. For instance, we organize art workshops for children and provide annual sponsorship to the Tung Chung Vigorous Marching Band, established by OIWA, offering training and performance opportunities to develop the untapped potential of primary and secondary school students.

Despite the challenges posed by the raging pandemic and the need to maintain social distancing, we organize online storytelling even when children are confined to their home, they still can feel the warmth of our volunteer team. In the face of harsh realities and the unfortunate distancing between individuals, Bright Sun remains determined to bridge the gap and extend care through countless "small pluses," maintaining a compassionate commitment to serve.
