Sacai’s Chitose Abe visited Hong Kong for the first time in five years last October. The designer is based in Tokyo and has been presenting in Paris since the brand’s inception. While the brand is now everywhere, Hong Kong holds a special place in her heart as it is the first market outside Japan to have a standalone Sacai boutique. “I just arrived yesterday. During the pandemic, we heard the market was a bit slow and quiet, so we were expecting that kind of atmosphere,” she says. “But I’ve been walking around and feeling that the energy is very strong here. I was thinking about the moment when I first came to Hong Kong. It’s a really energetic city.”
