YDC: Driving local fashion

Since 1977, the HKTDC has been organising the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers' Contest (YDC) to unearth talented local designers, while creating opportunities to showcase their collections in front of global and local industry professionals. To further promote Hong Kong fashion designers to the world, the HKTDC launched the FASHIONALLY.com online platform in early 2012 to provide a one-of-a-kind networking and exchange platform for global fashion experts to connect, inspire and share information.
