PolyU ITC is pleased to support this meaningful activity through co-organizing the competition with Hong Kong Museum of History, The Palace Museum and Hong Kong Design Centre.

The competition which aims to cultivate the imagination and creativity of the local young fashion design students and graduates and enhance their understanding of the royal attire of the Qing dynasty has received overwhelming response of over 160 entries submitted by students and graduates from different fashion schools in Hong Kong.
