The first Mondrian in Greater China partners with THREE POUND VOID, introducing comfortable, ecofriendly, contemporary, practical, and subtle designs inspired by streetwear style adapted for the hotel environment.
MONDRIAN HONG KONG continues to expand on its ‘Inspired. By People’ philosophy with a collaboration that moves beyond traditional hotel uniforms to create a wardrobe of contemporary, comfortable and chic urban streetwear for its team.
As part of its mission to provide a platform for local talents and to support emerging creatives, MONDRIAN HONG KONG was eager to look at individuals from initiatives such as the Hong Kong Design
Incubation Programme, allowing young designers to get involved and propose a collection for the hotel. As a result, Mondrian collaborated with Frances Yim from THREE POUND VOID, to bring her
unique street fashion inspired style to the hotel team.
Yim’s designs are practical yet stylish, with a hint of industrial craftsmanship, working with historical local stores to create elevated, long-lasting essential streetwear.
She said she was excited by the opportunity to work with Mondrian to produce a streetwear inspired by individuality but also the practical demands of the hotel world that would help the team excel in their roles while looking and feeling great.
“The concept is an intentional departure from traditional uniforms towards a sophisticated streetwear style with a purpose that synchronises with the city’s vibe, it’s progressive youth culture, unique fashion movement and innovative art scene,” says Yim.
The teamwear collection utilises Klopman crease-resistant, long-lasting and colour-fast wash-and wear fabrics.
‘STYLISH, MODEST AND FRESH’
MONDRIAN HONG KONG general manager Dirk Dalichau said he was delighted with the collection and proud of the partnership with Yim and THREE POUND VOID.
Dalichau said: “We want our team to feel good, fashionable, cool and comfortable. A core brand feature of Mondrian is to create opportunities, bring people together and celebrate innovation.
“We partner with visionaries who align with our progressive thinking. Pushing boundaries and delivering a modern approach which challenges the status quo is part of our DNA.”
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
From the original Mondrian located in the heart of Los Angeles ’glitter strip to properties in New York, Miami, London, Cannes, Doha, Seoul, Singapore and Ibiza, the brand has always been about transforming and defining the neighbourhoods in which they are found. Mondrian Hotels have been brought to life by the quality of their people and a commitment to creativity, art and the unexpected.
MONDRIAN HONG KONG is the latest avatar of that evolution.
