Nicholas Kirkwood celebrates 10 years with collection inspired by arcade games
EVENT NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD ‘10 YEARS’ COCKTAIL PARTY
WHERE ON PEDDER, JOYCE BOUTIQUE, NEW WORLD TOWER
: Shoemaker Nicholas Kirkwood is celebrating a milestone this year. For his 10th anniversary, the edgy and fun-loving designer created a special collection of 10 unique and creative styles inspired by the 1980s.
With a nod to that decade's arcade culture and influenced by the designer's younger days, the collection embodies the spirit of yesteryear to perfection. The best part? The shoes come in collectable boxes with "instructions" on the brand and details about the footwear.
To celebrate this anniversary launch, the designer visited Hong Kong to host a cocktail soiree. Spotted admiring the 1980s-style arcade set-up were up-and-coming Hong Kong designers Melissa Bui and Priscilla L'Anson. Also on scene were party frequenters Jaime Ku, Anina Ho and Jonathan Cheung. Guests were invited to play a claw machine to win prizes.
OVERHEARD Fashionable arcade games – j’adore! This set-up is amazing.
