Both men have a rare insight into the changing face of fashion across Asia as well as the changing nature of the various regions’ consumers, making them well-equipped to lead new brands as they launch into previously unchartered territories.

Throughout the three day exhibition the co-founders have also positioned a seminar point within the hall, inviting those interested in breaking into the lucrative Asian market to listen to speakers from leading Asian-based firms as they share their market knowledge.

Traversing the crucial subjects of business, retail, marketing, trend forecasting, legality and finance, speakers will include such key players at InvestHK, PwC, Ogilvy & Mather, UKFT and WGSN. In addition, ‘success stories’ Le Saunda, Dfuse and Outsign Lab will also be speaking about their own journeys, offering a fresh take on the sometimes daunting prospect of retailing in Asia by people who have experienced it firsthand.

Speaking on the event, Mr Richard Hobbs said: “The HUB is welcome, positive news for the fashion industry in Asia. At a time when people are hearing that China’s growth is slowing, this event is evidence that international brands are not reconsidering their Asian expansion plans but are eager to learn more about the industry and how their brands can be a part of it; they are actively seeking information on how to benefit from the continued significant increases in consumer-driven growth in the region”.

The HUB invites member of the press to learn more about the exhibition at a Press Conference in Hong Kong on the show’s opening day: Wednesday, 28 August 2013. Further details can be found in the attached invitation.
