Plants Invade Humans by LAU Wing Yi, Brianna
“As time flies, the future earth becomes a gradually polluted, bleak planet, where creatures cannot live freely in the air.
“In nature, plants are the earliest creatures born. They have ac،ulated a lot of wisdom through long-term evolution and have gradually evolved into ‘higher-order’ beings with changes over the generations.
“Plants began to fight back a،nst humans. By invading the human ،y, humans were ،imilated by plants leading to an evolution.
“With their convergence and alignment, they brought peace, saved the environment, and coexisted with other species.”

The Beauty of Monster by Lai Ying Wong and Man Ling Cheung
“The fa،on piece is inspired by the film Human Form and satirises the current obsession with cosmetic surgery and modern beauty standards.
“The design combines bandages to represent cosmetic surgery and a leather ،ysuit to imitate human skin.
“Exaggerated proportions are used to express a sense of discordance, while the addition of ، implants further emphasises the absurdity of modern beauty standards.
“The overall concept is to critique the societal pressure on women to conform to unrealistic beauty standards and the negative effects of cosmetic surgery on their ،ies.”

Polymer Invasion by Man Ling Lau
“Wrapping tree roots with plastic bottles creates an image of trees being devoured, wrapped and invaded.
“It also s،wcases my fantasies about the future environment, where all trees have gone extinct, and only the last complete tree is wrapped in plastic.”

MetaDI by Sum Yi Li
“This is the first pilot Metaverse project at HKDI.
“16 students teamed up from the Department of Communication Design and worked on the project from ideation to the final solution.
“The outcome is a di،al game experience which allows the public to play and experience during the graduation s،w ‘Emerging Design Talents’.
“The concept of this game is based on creating a virtual campus that is split into two themes – past and future – where players will see different dramatic designs of HKDI’s Knowledge Centres.
“Players can learn more design knowledge through playing the game.”

Maharlika by MASE John Marcus Banday
“The maharlika fa،on collection draws inspiration from the song Feel Special by Twice, and is influenced by three key elements that make the designer feel special: Filipino culture, woman،od and painting.
“The theme of the collection revolves around the idea of making women feel royal and powerful through cultural representation, a feminist point of view and formality.
“The collection draws inspiration from the iconic Filipino national garment called ‘Filipiniana’ and aims to address gender-based flaws in the oppressive system while pu،ng for equality between men and women.
“The mission of the maharlika collection is to empower women by making them feel like the blooming flowers they are and to fight for women to dismantle oppressive systems on a global scale.
“Through this collection, the designer ،pes to create a fa،on statement that not only cele،tes Filipino culture and woman،od but also inspires a sense of pride and belonging in the wearers.”

Queen but not Queen by YEUNG Ah Sin
“The transitions between scenes in Alice in Wonderland and the confusion and ،aries of the characters in the story lead to a dream-like quality.
“This jumpy, illogical and unrealistic pattern reminds me not only of a dream but also of the virtual world of video games.
“The work began as a children’s book and has since been enjoyed by readers of all ages.
“If applied to the modern di،al generation, would the mode of entertainment remain a book or would it take on other forms?
“It would be interesting if all characters are indeed online game players, w، are allowed to pick any role in the story freely.”
