BI was in Hong Kong to admire art, but also the city's innovative fashion sense. Here were our favorite looks.
This article is part of BI's 2024 Art Basel series, taking you inside the art fair's global scene.
Fashion and art are inextricably linked — evident at this year's Art Basel in Hong Kong.
The art fair, sponsored by UBS, attracted more than 240 galleries from around the world to descend on the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre last month.
With Victoria Harbour glistening just steps outside and Hong Kong's towering skyline being the perfect reminder of the city's scale, Art Basel returned to its pre-pandemic fanfare, attracting more than 75,000 art lovers.
Among the hundreds of exhibitors, museum owners, and private collectors were the fashion elite walking the white-washed halls of the convention center.
