*********************************
Renowned local fashion designer Lu Lu Cheung took on a fresh challenge when she agreed to be a Hong Kong Museum of History tour guide as part of a workshop on its exhibition featuring Qing dynasty costumes.
The exhibition runs until October 7, and features more than 130 costumes, nearly 30 per cent of which have never been displayed before. The creative workshop targeted people aged 16 to 25 who have an interest in Chinese culture, or who plan to join the rag trade.
Workshop participants share what they took away from the workshop while Cheung describes how it inspired her in a news.gov.hk story that appears today (August 25) in both text and video versions.
