Antonia sees Hong Kong, K11 MUSEA as the fashion destination

"Hong Kong is a global fashion Hub. We have always thought of Hong Kong as the most interesting international city to open a new Antonia location. It has always been our dream. We have waited several years in order to find the right partner, which happened to be Adrian Cheng and his leading group in Asia. With the launch of K11|ANTONIA today, it marks our shared vision in which together we nurture different forms of fashion cultures and dialogues from around the world. We are honoured to be present with our exclusive format inside one of the most innovative cultural-retail destinations in the world in terms of location, architecture, design, concept and brand selection. Through K11 MUSEA, we believe this global fashion venture will further enrich our consumers' cultural-retail experience in the world of fashion. We are certain that it will be a success," said Antonia Giacinti and Maurizio Purificato, Founders of Antonia.

For K11|ANTONIA, each item is chosen with great care, taste, and passion thanks to constant analysis carried out all over the world by the Antonia team. "This season, we carefully selected three key themes -- Pastel Sorbet Dreams, Natural Earth Tones and Garden Party. Each one points to the classic K11 Antonia man or woman that adorns them, someone who is confident and adventurous in the style and brands they pick," says Antonia Giacinti. "There was an explosion of dreamy pastel colors on the Spring/Summer 2020 runway in every way, from pistachio green, baby blue, cotton candy pink and lavender to orange sorbet. Think degrade sheer knits from Jacquemus, sorbet-hued suiting from Alessandra Rich, that flowy Alice McCall tiered dress and the pastel accessories from The Attico. Even your wardrobe is ready to flourish in Spring!" She continues: "Spring is all about flowers. Zimmermann is the long-acclaimed flower master. Miu Miu and Alice McCall are giving a sequin and crystal embroidered moment, while The Attico likes it in a playful sexier silhouette. It is not limited to girls but boys can hang out at the garden party, too. Jacquemus is getting inspiration from his Provençal home with the artichoke and blue flower print."

Antonia Giacinti also sees the theme of Natural Earth Tones reflecting the environment of today: "As we are prioritizing environmental consciousness, the fashion world has heard it by bringing us back materials and colors of the earth and nature. Re-adopting the natural fibres like linen, raffia and organic cotton in off-white, natural, sand and earthy brown tones. Brands like Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Miu Miu, Jacquemus, A.W.A.K.E. Mode and Alanui are all giving a shout about nature."

Continuing K11's social mission

With K11's social mission to create shared value and enrich consumers' daily life through propagating its social innovation in the nurturing of home-grown talents, facilitating dialogues on sustainability and culture, K11 MUSEA continues to bring together brands that represent this vision and empower young generations this season. Following the launch of British fashion brand  and Save the Duck in Hong Kong, MUSE EDITION launches HAUSTAGE, one of Hong Kong's first sustainable fashion and lifestyle select shops which sits alongside fresh new brands including the much-anticipated Chiara Ferragni collection - the eponymous contemporary fashion brand created by global fashion icon and young entrepreneur Chiara Ferragni.
