Great accessories pieces can sometimes
transform even the simplest look into an iconic fashion statement. Hong Kong-based
accessories designer Zwai Kwok exemplifies this idea with his own accessories
design brand.
Originally a graphic designer,
then a fashion visual merchandiser for more than ten years, Kwok has a strong sense
on how to compliment different shapes and colors. “My passion for designing
accessories began when a friend of mine asked me to design for her her wedding
accessories, which I used the popular Chinese wedding character "囍" that represents
“double happiness” as the main idea. Subsequently, I have been requested by
celebrity stylists to design unique pieces for TV actresses” said Kwok.
Each piece handcrafted by the
designer, Kwok’s accessories are all about being bold, colorful and whimsical. “My inspirations come from all of the lifestyle
things that I come in contact with every day” said Kwok. “For example, a gum
ball machine or coin machine toys, I would picture how I could create a story
out of it, and then tell the story using my accessories. Another example I am working on right
now are empty perfume bottles. I would reuse them and turn them into a locket
of a necklace”.
The uniqueness of ZWAI KWOK
accessories quickly became one of the most requested items for celebrities on
TV spots and magazine editorials in Hong Kong. It’s something that is
unconventional in the local market of Hong Kong, suitable for those who does
not want to be a part of the over saturated styles governed by large retail
businesses. In addition to two locations in Hong Kong, ZWAI KWOK accessories
are also sold online to international buyers.
