[Fashion Journal &Textile Life:YunJung Park]The 47th Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter will run from 18 to 21 January at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the event is expecting about 1,500 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions to showcase their latest fashion designs, collections from international brands, fabrics and accessories.
