Hong Kong Optical Fair Opens Today Providing a Vision of the Future
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and co-organised by the Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association, the 24th HKTDC Hong Kong Optical Fair is a 20/20 look into the past, present and future of eyewear. Showcasing over 780 exhibitors from 29 countries and regions, the Fair is the ultimate platform for industry buyers to source the latest products and stay ahead of the emerging trends. Join us in welcoming elite international pavilions from the Chinese mainland, France, Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan together with Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association and Visionaries of Style, as well as new comers from Indonesia, Poland and South Africa as we cast a spotlight on stunning eyewear from across the world! Join us NOW !
A Vision for Every Stage in Life
From the young to the elderly, deteriorating vision is something for all of us to consider. Children as young as 3-years-old may require corrective lenses, so eyewear manufacturers must accommodate for these needs with lightweight frames, kid-friendly aesthetics and safety-conscious designs. Meanwhile, the growing elderly population is driving demand for prescription reading glasses as that market segment continues to expand. Come to see for yourself how industry producers are tackling eyewear needs across the entire age spectrum!

Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese designer and a master of draping, deconstruction and the avant garde. His signature look is irreverent, dark and favours voluminous oversized shapes, making his designs a huge hit with slick, minimalist-loving women. Since 1981, when he launched his eponymous label, Yamamoto has been a strong figure in cutting-edge style and creativity.

Visionary Seminars by GfK @ Oasis, Hall 1D
For many years, the regional optics industry flourished in a favourable business climate as the Asia-Pacific region enjoyed strong, continuous economic growth. However, this scenario is likely to change as we now see early signs of an economic downturn in this part of the world. What will be the impact on the optics industry? How will manufacturers adapt to the economy? What can we learn from Europe and South America, two markets that have already been forced to adapt to weakening economies? Gianni Cossar from GfK, a leading global market research expert will provide insight into the future of the industry and challenges faced by producers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Topic:
How the Global Optics Industry Reacts to the Economic Development and its Latest Trends.
Date: 9 Nov
Time: 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Venue: hktdc.com Oasis, Hall 1D
Speakers: Gianni Cossar, Global Director Optics & Eyewear, GfK
