KWK by Kay Kwok Chapter 4- PORTALS

KWK Chapter 4- Portals views the brand's ethos of transportation out of the mundane through a spiritual lens, exploring how through looking within and connecting with our authentic self-expression, we arrive at a new place of vivid color and exaggeration. Freedom of expression and being liberated to live in alignment with who we are as an individual is fundamental to the designer's worldview and the understanding of the nuance and sensitivities of visual messages and storytelling upon the catwalk. Spring/Summer 24 takes us on a journey out of the dark, away from dullness and solemnity, escaping the pressure and heaviness from above, to arrive into the abundance and joy of the light. Buddhist iconography graphic depictions of the beauty of nature expressed through flowers, and artwork inspired by the stars and cosmos, are blended to create a lucid colour-scape. Evocative and intense, this season has been designed to imbue a sense of pleasure and ecstasy, quasi-religious in nature – and enlightenment. The song in the finale pays tribute to Kay’s dear artist friend Coco Lee (1975-2023) who departed to a new world earlier this year. Coco was the first Chinese singer to perform at the Oscars, and the first Chinese singer to perform at an NBA game. Coco and Kay started to creatively collaborate in 2018, culminating in Kay directing the costume design for her world tour in 2019. “Coco you will be missed” - Kay Music: Tonz Show Direction: Carmen Ho Production: Fil Jovetic, Stage Connections Production Assistant: Allison Madigan Videographer: Craig Maddison from MADD Since 81
