Global fashion talents will converge on Hong Kong for Asia's largest fashion event later this month, according to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter and World Boutique will be held from Jan 18 to 21 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, featuring more than 2,000 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions.

The four days of the two flagship fairs of Asia's fashion industry will also see a series of runway shows, presenting ideas from leading local and overseas designers, and professional seminars addressing current industry issues.

The 41st edition of Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter has a worldwide reputation for showcasing the newest collections, looks and products in the industry. The event features 1,700 exhibitors from 24 countries and regions, with Russian and South African exhibitors joining for the first time.

The mainland will have a strong new presence at the Quanzhou Pavilion featuring 10 top brands from the mainland. The Netherlands, famous for its design capabilities, will host a country pavilion for the first time this year.

The Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza will also return this year, featuring four celebrated fashion designers, including Dorian Ho from Hong Kong, Guo Pei and Xie Feng from the mainland, as well as Japan's Toshikazu Iwaya.
