Key is an emerging menswear designer, recognised for his sophisticated sensual work, including innovative exploration of romantic textural surfaces. This often becomes a significant part of his design process through a use of beautiful colours, patterns, prints and luxury fibres.
Working with contemporary east-meets-west silhouettes, new and unique ways of experimenting with traditional textile materials and the latest fashion technology, he always generates surprise and challenges perspective in the fashion field.
Key's work has been featured in international fashion publications and exhibitions in the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Singapore, China and Hong Kong. He is the recipient of several awards and grants for his creative work, including the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award (YDTA) in 2012, with a scholarship of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars. That year Key also won first place in the Hong Kong Fashion Designers’ Association Talent Award.
