Creation rather than reinvention is the main idea behind this husband and wife (Michael and Ching Ching) team’s design strategy. Always seeking novel ways to present fashion, the pair draw references from a wide range of subjects, and apply the ideas onto fabrics with great aplomb. ccchu is now stocked in Hong Kong (at Kapok), London and Beijing. www.ccchu.com.

Credit where it’s due to a young man who has aspired to beautify function using intelligent design methods. The designer, who is also known as ‘Pacman’ identifies functional problems in apparel that nobody else cares to rectify. He is also one of the few local designers who provides a comprehensive story behind each of his collections. www.theperfecttangent.com.
