Style Guide: What to Wear to HK Art Month and Afterparties

by Central HULA on Mar 13, 2023

The Art Month is back in Hong Kong (and we will no longer take it for granted). With two major art fairs - Art Basel and Art Central, we cannot wait to walk into the fair and the afterparties looking like ten million bucks. 

This week, we've got you covered with this style guide straight from the latest Spring/Summer 2023 runway shows ‘cause we are going all out this year baby!

 

1. Old Hollywood Glam

Christian Dior Alessandra Rich Viktor & Rolf

 

Old Hollywood Glam made its long-awaited comeback this season with designers like Dior and Schiaparelli debuting evergreen silhouettes on the runway. You can turn heads and own the scene in a bold-coloured dress or keep it classic with a simple black-and-white outfit. Of course, no look is complete without some killer jewellery like chandelier earrings or pearl necklaces.

2. Statement Jewellery

 
Chanel Givenchy
Saint Laurent 

 

The right jewellery can make any outfit stand out - perfect for adding some personality and flair to your look. Expect to see jumbo pearls, oversized earrings, and chunky bracelets in all sorts of colours and styles. Whether you like gold, silver, or something more colourful, don't be afraid to mix and match different pieces to create a look that's uniquely you. Remember, the bolder, the better!

3. Metallics & Sequins

LaQuan Smith
Halpern

Name a better way to stand out at a gallery opening than wearing a silver/gold (spoiler alert: you can’t). Try incorporating metallics and sequins into your outfit with a shiny dress or a pair of eye-catching shoes. You don’t want to end up looking like The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, so keep your ensemble simple and let your metallic piece stand out.

3. The IT-bags

 
Fendi
Hermes

No matter where you are,  just know there’s always the IT-bag out there for you to  give your outfit an extra chic edge. Bags this season not only bring the party, but they also deliver personality. Let's kiss goodbye to our everyday classics because maximalism is the way forward!
