Through CENTRESTAGE, Hong Kong fashion and design can go further and shine brightly on the world stage.” Inaugural Hype² pavilion harnesses star power and KOL influence With the continuous growth of the global streetwear market and Generation Z consumers increasingly seeking "self-expression" and "emotional value", CENTRESTAGE introduces the Hype² pavilion for the first time this year.
