Centrestage 2022, one of Asia’s leading annual fashion events, has built a custom-built metaverse called Centreverse where visitors can interact and participate in fashion events using personalised avatars. A wide array of interactive experiences empowered by AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) technologies will be offered at the fairground to enrich visitors’ experience.

The event will be held from September 9-11, 2022 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Halls 1A-C, according to a press release by Centrestage’s organisers. This year’s Centrestage revolves around the theme of ‘Inclusion and Diversity,’ inviting visitors to express themselves boldly through fashion and at the same time, celebrating the differences between bodies, cultures, and ideologies.

More than 240 fashion brands and designer labels from 15 countries and regions will take part in the three-day fashion presentation, promoting a wide variety of ready-to-wear apparel and accessories, added the release.

Centrestage will host more than 30 fashion events in these three days, including a series of brand shows and seminars. The opening gala show on September 9 at 7pm, Centrestage Elites, will see the global launch of the latest collections from two designer brands – Derek Chan and Mite Chan’s renowned brand Demo from Hong Kong, as well as acclaimed Japanese designer Hideaki Shikama’s Children of the Discordance.
