Barney Cheng
When couture designer Barney Cheng returned to Hong Kong in the '90s, he admits there was a scarcity of local brands. "That's the reason I started my business here," he says. "I wanted to show the rest of the world that there is life outside of the big brand. Street fashion is burgeoning now. It started with one small, dilapidated building in Tsim Sha Tsui called the Beverly Centre, where the average-sized shop was less than 100 square feet. That was the birthplace for designers like Spy's Henry Lau, Madame Benji's Benjamin Lau, Ruby Li, Simone Ng, Silvio Chan and Yandy. The fashion scene is vibrant now."
