REALM
Selected projects created under the eponymous label - did everything myself from design, pattern cutting to sewing - all for the sake of genuineness and authenticity. You get it.
(9)PROXY
Beginning with a series of recurring nightmares, PROXY evolved into an interconnected world spanning two short films and a 40+ style collection. Rather than creating products first and building a story around them, the narrative became the starting point - giving rise to the garments, objects and visual language of the collection. That creative world was then translated into a commercially structured product range, balancing statement pieces with more accessible styles and designed around a DTC, drop-based e-commerce model. PROXY became an exploration of how an uncompromising creative idea could extend beyond storytelling into product, range architecture and a viable route to market.
(7) MONOLOGUE
A collection built around designing the process rather than starting with a visual theme - deliberately creating mistakes, mismatches and constraints, then treating the act of solving them as the design itself.
FW16 JOSE
Presented during New York Fashion Week, JOSE FW16 further established the evolving design language of KURT HO - expanding its product vocabulary while sharpening the brand’s distinctive design language. The collection also introduced collaborative pieces with textile artist Josefina Concha, extending that language through a new approach to textile and surface.
SS15 FALLEN
FALLEN marked the debut of KURT HO at Hong Kong Fashion Week - an exploration of my emerging design language through tailoring, proportion and construction. Familiar archetypes were reworked through unconventional cuts, new constructions and alternative ways of wearing, establishing many of the ideas that would continue to shape the collections that followed.
FW14 OVER MATURE
Created for the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ Contest 2014, the collection explored traditional tailoring through exaggerated and unconventional body proportions. Familiar tailoring codes were distorted through silhouette, construction and fit - challenging established ideas of how garments should sit on the body, while finding character and beauty in perceived imperfection.
STUDIO WORK
Selected work developed within creative studios, contributing across design, product development and the systems behind them. From shaping collections to improving workflows and building teams.

MAHARISHI
2026
My contribution focused on product development and hands on technical execution, working directly across pattern cutting, sewing, in house prototyping and fittings. I developed and resolved construction methods and technical finishes, particularly across the more complex articulated pieces, where pattern engineering and physical testing were essential to achieving the intended form and functionality.

UMBRO
2025-2026
For this collaboration capsule, I worked from early development through to the final collection presented during Paris Fashion Week. My involvement covered design development, 3D visualisation, construction, hands on prototyping and fittings, sourcing across the range, establishing new supplier connections and selecting fabrics, trims and components.
COMMISSION
Selected work for fashion brands and creative teams, spanning design, product development and technical packs. Each project responds to a different brief, bringing together creative direction & technical understanding.
MNEYNTLVE
2023-2025
At MNEYNTLVE, I was involved majorly in the process of building seasonal drops, from design and product development to range planning, launch schedules and strategies. ​ One of my key contributions was taking ownership of original print designs, trims and product detailing, as well as developing brand assets for future alignment, including logos, signature trims and embellishments. The idea was to create a more recognisable and consistent product language that could carry across future drops
PUBLIC SERV-CE
2024-2026
Worked on a consultancy basis directly with Creative Director Raphael Young, contributing across apparel, accessories, footwear and furniture. My work covered seasonal research and concept development through to original designs and graphics, translating ideas into clear moodboards and development directions. I then carried these through to production ready execution with detailed tech packs, renders and specifications for factory development.
PROJECT X PARIS
2025-2026
Worked across apparel, accessories and footwear, developing original designs and graphics through to production ready execution. This included detailed tech packs, technical specifications and renders, giving factories clear and accurate information to develop and produce each product. ​
EXPLORATION
From one-off commissions and objects to cross-disciplinary projects that sits outside conventional categories — a space for experimentation, new ways of making, and the ongoing refinement of ideas, processes and workflows.

UNIFORM & WORKWEAR / CORPERATE
Uniforms shaped by function, identity and the demands of everyday use. Each project brings together research, design and development.
WORLDWIDE FLIGHT SERVICES
2017-2019
A complete uniform revamp for Worldwide Flight Services’ frontline staff at Hong Kong International Airport, covering 30+ items across eight different functions and roles. The project spanned graphic and fashion design through to fittings, tailoring, size specifications, sampling and production, creating a coherent uniform system designed around the different practical requirements of each role.​
CLP HONG KONG
2017-2018
A complete uniform revamp for CLP Hong Kong, working with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University as the sole design and sampling partner. Following site inspections and interviews with staff to understand the needs of different roles, a portfolio of 200+ designs was developed and presented within one month. The project covered graphic and fashion design through to fittings, tailoring, size specifications, sampling and production.
