HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 November 2025 – The global fashion extravaganza, FASHION TO RECONNECT: A Tale of Two Style Capitals, organised by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) with Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte in partnership with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency as a programme of the Hong Kong Fashion Fest which is presented by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will be held from 17 November to 25 December 2025. This cultural exchange project is supported by the Consulate General of Italy. The FASHION TO RECONNECT project will feature 6 Third Paradise art installations reinterpreted by Hong Kong-based artists and collectives, alongside a fashion exhibition, and several moments of interaction for creatives from the two regions. The exhibition by Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte and curated by Tiziano Guardini will showcase masterpieces by 9 Hong Kong-based and 15 Italian designers and brands reflecting the cultural exchange and resonance between two regions. It will also serve as a platform to recognise designers’ contributions to sustainable fashion worldwide.
The Third Paradise, proposed by the Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, represents the third phase of humanity: a balanced connection between artifice and nature. Third Paradise art installations have been showcased in Australia, Chinese Mainland, England, France, Italy, South Korea and at the United Nations Headquarters, as well as many other locations worldwide. From November to December, 6 Third Paradise art installations will be presented at 5 cultural landmarks and popular destinations in Hong Kong: the Sophia Loren House in Wan Chai, Hong Kong International Airport, City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and the Hung Hom Harbourfront Promenade. The installations will feature large-scale art installations and digital videos, offering visitors and locals the opportunity to experience the Third Paradise in unexpected ways within familiar urban settings. These interactions encourage audiences to reconnect with the natural environment in their daily lives and explore new possibilities for sustainable living. The Hong Kong edition is the largest-scale event dedicated to the Third Paradise, featuring 6 installations utilising various art forms and collaborating with different creatives across multiple districts within the same city during the same period.
Taking inspiration from Third Paradise and Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte, the FASHION TO RECONNECT Fashion Exhibition will be held at ArtisTree in Taikoo Place from 25 November to 24 December. The exhibition aims to elevate fashion as an artistic medium for driving social change, showcasing the creative processes and works of 9 Hong Kong-based and 15 Italian designers and brands. Through fashion, the exhibition invites visitors to consider humanity’s relationship with nature and encourages them to make conscious choices for a sustainable future.
To promote exchanges between Hong Kong (China) and Italy in the field of sustainability, FASHION TO RECONNECT is hosting a symposium, a roundtable and 2 seminars under the theme “Sino-Overseas Exchange: The Tale of Two Style Cities”. These events will be held at Soho House in Sheung Wan from 27 to 28 November. Among the speakers, Paolo Naldini, Director, Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte, Sara Sozzani Maino, Creative Director Fondazione Sozzani and International New Talents and Brands Ambassador of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, and Tiziano Guardini, eco-conscious designer and exhibition curator. Participants will explore the challenges and opportunities in sustainable fashion and analyse different strategies in eco-conscious design, resource management, cultural preservation, and cross-sectorial collaborations examining the shared values and unique perspectives nurtured within the cultural contexts of Hong Kong (China) and Italy to foster deeper and more creative cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Prof. Alfred Tat-kei Ho, Dean of CLASS, CityUHK, and part of the project team expressed his enthusiasm in announcing the project “CLASS is proud to announce this project as it represents a high-impact activity that will engage not only academics and professionals interested in fashion, sustainability, and art, but also the wider public through activations that will contribute to brand Hong Kong as a creative and cultural hub focusing in East Meets West. This is a concrete example of cross-sectorial collaborations that represent the direction for companies to grow and enhance their brand awareness”.
Prof. Esterina Nervino, Assistant Professor at CityUHK and Project Coordinator of FASHION TO RECONNECT commented: “With my research rooted in luxury, sustainability, and art, I am especially proud of this initiative, which brings together exceptional partners to create cultural experiences that will inspire communities and enliven districts across the city”.

The Panty That Earned Its Place in Every Drawer
In an industry where trends come and go, a decade of consistent customer trust says something. XIXILI’s seamless panties have built a loyal following through one simple promise: comfort that just works. The design eliminates visible panty lines, sits smoothly under any outfit, and feels light enough to wear all day without a second thought.
“These are the panties our customers reach for every day,” says Grace Tan, Senior Marketing Executive at XIXILI. “Once they find a style that works, they tend to stay with it. We often hear from women who have been buying the same design for years.”
The seamless construction removes irritating seams and edges, while the boyleg cut offers fuller coverage that stays comfortably in place. It is the kind of understated comfort that fits quietly into daily life.
Designed for Every Body, Loved by Everyone
Among XIXILI’s top favourite panties are the Full Coverage Mid Rise Knitted Boyleg Panty and Full Coverage High-Waist Knitted Boyleg Panty, two basic styles that have become wardrobe staples.
The Mid Rise option offers moderate coverage with a relaxed fit, ideal for all-day comfort. The High Waist option sits higher on the waist with gentle tummy smoothing, a go-to for wearing under fitted dresses and trousers.
The Lightweight Seamless Microfiber Panty is the star of the range, a bestseller for ten consecutive years. It sits flat against the body for an invisible, second-skin finish under even the tightest clothing. Now available in fresh new colours, this enduring staple continues to deliver the reliability women have come to trust.
Comfort That Starts from Within
Good underwear is the foundation of every outfit. It’s the little detail that helps women move through their day with ease, whether heading to work, running errands, or enjoying time with loved ones.
With the Chinese New Year around the corner, refreshing the essentials feels timely. XIXILI’s latest seamless panties colours offer a simple way to start fresh from the inside out, while staying with a style that has earned its place over the past ten years.
