- Establishing Cultural Bridges: Symposium, Roundtable and Seminars to Discuss East-meets-West Exchange Strategies in Creative Industries
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 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 today to 25 December 2025. This cultural exchange project is supported by the Consulate General of Italy.
The exhibition by Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte and curated by Tiziano Guardini will showcase masterpieces by 9 Hong Kong-based and 16 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 FASHION TO RECONNECT project is being activated through 6 Third Paradise art installations reinterpreted by Hong Kong-based artists and collectives and will be further explored through a two-day symposium.
The large-scale Third Paradise art installations are being unveiled in Hong Kong with the first one having officially debuted on 17 November. During the launch event, the Consul General of Italy expressed his deepest gratitude to all partners, with special words of appreciation to the CCIDA and the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences of City University for their commitment to a project that combines art, fashion, and sustainability, reflecting the very best of Italian craftsmanship and tradition. The FASHION TO RECONNECT exhibition will take place 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 16 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.
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”.
FASHION TO RECONNECT is a touring exhibition presented by Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte and inspired by the dynamic equilibrium of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Third Paradise. The exhibition opens with artist Michelangelo Pistoletto’s very own words “In the Third Paradise, nature and humanity interweave into a single breath: in sustainable fashion, that breath becomes freedom, becomes responsibility, becomes ethical beauty.” Imagining garments and fashion objects as artworks, the exhibition seeks to showcase the possibilities of sustainable fashion, as drivers of social change and testaments of beauty. Designers, entrepreneurs, brands, and artists articulate new pathways for reconnecting with nature, where material choices, processes, and a renewed sensibility toward creation become catalysts for a more virtuous evolution of the fashion system.
Curated by Tiziano Guardini, with contributions from a scientific committee, including Mr. Carmelo Ficarra, Consul General of Italy in Hong Kong, Prof. Alfred Tat-kei Ho, Dorian Ho, Project Consultant, Ms. Sara Sozzani Maino, Ambassador of Camera Nazionale della Moda, Mr. Paolo Naldini, General Director, Fondazione Pistoletto, and the Project Coordinator Prof. Esterina Nervino, the exhibition grows from the encounter between East and West in a city long shaped by cultural exchange.
The Curator commented: “Each designer and brand featured demonstrates that creating does not merely mean producing, but generating value, respect, and regeneration at every stage of the process. This exhibition is a bridge between Italy and Hong Kong, between past and future, between who we are and who we can become”.
Through this international exchange of ideas, visitors are invited to experience a heightened, nature-rooted fashion. The exhibition stands as one of the flagship initiatives of Cittadellarte Fashion B.E.S.T., the platform created by the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto and late Vogue Italia Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani, that since 2009 has advanced sustainability within the textile and fashion sectors, and forms part of the Fashion to Reconnect: A Tale of Two Style Capitals programme of Fashion Fest.

TELOSIN Introduces “The Dual Transformation,” Pairing Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue with the New Lumiactive Collection
The new skincare system brings together FDA-cleared, NASA-inspired light technology, complementary formulations and award-winning patented design by Karim Rashid, following a Hong Kong launch attended by more than 2,000 guests
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – TELOSIN has introduced “The Dual Transformation,” a new approach to personalised at-home skincare built around two dedicated light-based beauty devices—the Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue—and the complementary Lumiactive Collection.
The launch brings together advanced light-based technology, targeted skincare formulations and award-winning patented design created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid.
Rather than incorporating multiple generalised modes within a single device, TELOSIN developed two distinct devices and two dedicated skincare pathways.
Y PRO Red is designed for a rejuvenation-focused skincare routine, supporting the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance.
Y PRO Blue is designed for routines focused on blemish-prone, oily or visibly unsettled skin.
The devices combine FDA-cleared technology with light-based innovation inspired by scientific developments associated with NASA research.
Introducing the Lumiactive Collection
The Y PRO devices are accompanied by the new Lumiactive Collection, comprising:
- LUMIRED Red LED Treatment Gel
- LUMIBLUE Blue LED Treatment Gel
- Blue Light Defense Cream
Together, the devices and complementary formulations establish TELOSIN’s connected Prepare, Treat, Protect approach to skincare.
The dedicated Lumiactive treatment gels are designed to prepare the skin for the corresponding Y PRO routine, while Blue Light Defense Cream completes the ritual as part of the brand’s wider daily skincare approach.
By developing the devices and formulations as one connected collection, TELOSIN aims to make advanced light-based skincare easier to understand, personalise and incorporate into regular at-home routines.
The result is a complete ecosystem built around two targeted transformations: a red-light pathway focused on rejuvenation and a blue-light pathway focused on skin clarity and balance.
Scientific Insight Behind TELOSIN
TELOSIN has expanded the scientific conversation surrounding the launch through its expert video series, “The Science Behind Telosin,” available on the brand’s website.
The series features expert perspectives from two medical professionals:
Dr. Omer Wolf, MD, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and advanced facial aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Uri Berger, MD, a specialist in aesthetic medicine with extensive international medical training and experience.
Through the expert series, TELOSIN provides consumers with accessible information about the principles behind light-based skincare and the evolving relationship between professional aesthetic knowledge, beauty technology and at-home routines.
The inclusion of medical perspectives within the wider educational programme reflects TELOSIN’s commitment to supporting product innovation through informed scientific discussion and responsible consumer education.
Award-Winning Patented Design by Karim Rashid
The Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue were created in collaboration with Karim Rashid, one of the world’s most recognised contemporary designers.
The devices feature award-winning patented design that combines Rashid’s distinctive visual language with TELOSIN’s advanced beauty technology.
Their fluid silhouettes, individual colour identities and ergonomic forms were developed not simply to contain sophisticated technology, but to transform the devices into desirable contemporary objects that can become a natural part of the user’s daily beauty environment.
The collaboration reflects TELOSIN’s belief that advanced skincare devices should deliver a sophisticated combination of performance, simplicity, comfort and emotional connection.
“The Dual Transformation” Unveiled to More Than 2,000 Guests in Hong Kong
The complete collection was officially presented on 30 June 2026 through “The Dual Transformation,” an immersive launch experience held at WTC Mall in Hong Kong.
The large-scale event welcomed more than 2,000 guests, including consumers, members of the Hong Kong media, influencers, beauty industry professionals and invited partners.
The launch featured internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid, MIRROR member Ian Chan, celebrated actress and singer Linda Chung, and Dr. Harvey Ho.
Karim Rashid introduced the creative thinking behind the award-winning patented design of the devices, while Dr. Harvey Ho discussed the different applications and skincare pathways associated with red and blue light technology.
Ian Chan and Linda Chung joined the launch presentation to experience the two routines and demonstrate how the Y PRO devices and complementary Lumiactive formulations can be incorporated into contemporary at-home skincare.
“The Dual Transformation demonstrates that advanced beauty technology does not need to feel clinical or complicated,” said Dr. Harvey Ho.
“By bringing together two dedicated light-based devices with complementary Lumiactive formulations, TELOSIN has created a more focused and intuitive approach to at-home skincare. The distinction between the red and blue light pathways also helps consumers better understand how different technologies can support different skincare needs.”
With more than 2,000 guests attending, the event marked a major public introduction of TELOSIN’s broader product ecosystem: two targeted devices, three complementary skincare formulations and one connected approach to personalised light-based skincare.
A Complete Dual Skincare System
With Y PRO Red, Y PRO Blue and the Lumiactive Collection, TELOSIN is introducing more than two individual beauty devices.
“The Dual Transformation” represents a complete skincare system built around clearly defined objectives, dedicated formulations and award-winning patented design.
It reflects the brand’s wider ambition to make sophisticated light-based technology more personalised, intuitive and accessible, while maintaining the premium design experience expected by contemporary beauty consumers.

SearchInform: A Risky Game – How FIFA World Cup 2026 Led to Mass Corporate Data Leaks
Experts claim that corporate employees in Southeast Asia are neglecting cybersecurity rules due to their love for football, leading to an increase in fraud cases.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Although the tournament itself took place in North America, Asia’s massive football fan base created the perfect conditions for data leaks.
Fraudsters are capitalizing on football fans by creating fake streaming platforms and malicious Android applications that steal saved passwords and account credentials directly from browsers. Criminals are also setting up fraudulent websites, as well as sending phishing emails to company employees disguised as gifts, promotions, and office betting pools.
“During major global events, the corporate security perimeter is under huge stress,” said Francis Yeoh, Country Director at SearchInform Malaysia. “Employees access streaming websites from corporate devices to watch matches live. Traditional network-edge security is insufficient—the real danger comes from the employee side of the fence. Employees could watch a translation on a malware-infested website, they could download streaming applications with hidden malware, or use corporate credentials to register for fraudulent giveaways.”
According to Group-IB and the FBI, from August 2025 to June 2026, more than 4,300 fake websites were registered fully mimicking FIFA interfaces, ticketing systems, streaming platforms, and World Cup employment portals.
How Organizations Can Reduce Cyber Risks During Football Season
- Monitor the use of corporate devices. Remind employees that corporate workstations should not be used for personal purposes, including streaming, downloading unofficial apps, or visiting suspicious websites. This measure alone can help reduce exposure to many malware threats.
- Strengthen password security. Monitor risky password practices, as some employees may reuse corporate credentials for personal services. If one of these services is compromised, corporate accounts and systems may be put at risk as well.
- Enforce multi-factor authentication. Apply MFA for privileged employees on a regular basis and temporarily strengthen authentication requirements for remote employees during high-risk periods. This provides an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
- Monitor data access patterns. Track who accesses critical information, from where, and monitor its transmission to prevent data loss. Make sure protection also covers cloud services, as corporate data is no longer limited to on-premises storage.

INSP MIHAS connects pre-qualified international buyers with Malaysian halal product and service exporters through pre-arranged one-on-one business meetings across key halal sectors. As buyer meeting slots are limited and allocated through a structured matching process, Malaysian companies are strongly encouraged to register early via the online portal.
According to MATRADE’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Abu Bakar Yusof, “Since the inception of MIHAS in 2004, the International Sourcing Programme (INSP) has generated over RM20.62 billion in export sales for Malaysian companies, with the participation of nearly 8,000 international buyers, benefiting 10,600 Malaysian sellers through 67,200 structured business meetings.
For this year, we are targeting the participation of approximately 300 buyers, of which 50 are premium buyers, reflecting our commitment to attracting high-quality decision-makers and creating greater business opportunities for Malaysian companies. We are also targeting RM2 billion in export sales under the INSP component for MIHAS 2026. To date, we have received interest from more than 500 international buyers across 55 economies, and we encourage Malaysian companies to register early to maximise their business matching opportunities.”
MIHAS 2026 is expected to generate total sales of RM4.50 billion, including export sales from the INSP. “As it stands, 15% of the interested buyers comprise returning buyers, demonstrating sustained confidence in Malaysian exporters and the compelling value proposition they continue to offer in global markets,” he added. This year’s INSP has attracted buyers from 55 different economies.
Malaysian exporters can register through the INSP MIHAS online portal and MADANI Digital Trade Platform (MDTP) before 31st July 2026 and take advantage of one of MIHAS’ most impactful business matching initiatives.
