UIIIILU Mim Hong Kong Fashion Goes Original VKfmf tnAfft i By HONG KONG (AP) The Hong Kong fashion industry, for many years otta of diligent imitation, hopes to break into world of original design, To that end, and in an effort to gain the support of a world market for the creations of local designers, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries held its tirst local Festival of Fashions Oct. 30 Nov. 3. Acceptances were received from buyers and editors in many foreign fashion capitals The federation even got a feeler from Moscow. To brong some Western ingenuity to the festival, the federation called Michael Whittaker, producer of fashion shows for the British royal family, to organize the week's events.

It has also brought in a French designer, Chloe de Bruneton, to design many of the garments displayed. So Hong Kong, which has to Import most of the materials that go into the making of the clothing exported from the colony, also has had to import Western talent to help create the designs that will sell in the West leaving the colony, in (he minds of many, right where it started. Milton E. Petrick, chairman of the festival's organization committee, says there is little hope for original Hong Kong designs unless factories and fashion houses break out of the insulation that has relegated them to copying. He advocates importing foreign designers and sending local designers to foreign fashion capitals to gain a better consciousness of international fashion demand.

Petriek should know. He is an associate of Linden Johnson, founder of Dynasty Fashions, a u. Hong Kong based garment factory whose labels are found in expensive stores in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe. Petrick a former U.S. navy flier, joined Johnson, a former u.

s. military intelligence expert, in 1960. Johnson started Dynasty in 1950, shortly after coming here from China, Although the company started as a fashion house devoted mainly to traditional oriental- style clothing, Dynasty has increased its gross sales by almost 300 per cent since switching to Western styles and Western fabrics. Dynasty has brought in much automation, some of it not immediately accepted by the Mandarin tailors, whose pride in their work and station in life at first caused them to regard any proposed change as a loss of face. But there Is still much handwork.

"What you get here that they can't get in the United States or Europe, is the detailed handwork. They can't afford to put that into their garments. We can," states Petrick. Otherwise, he attributes Dynasty's success to original design, a well formed distribution system, and the best working conditions to be found on th6 colony. They ate attributes that are hard to find here and ones which would mean costly chaflges for any of the company's prospective 'local competitors.

Hong Kong exported almost 1350 million worth of garments last year. The greater amount of that was in Oriental styles or copies of Western styles. But Petrick says there is a decreasing, demand for tradi- EAST AND WEST skirt together on Hong Traditional cheongsam (left) and mini- Kong sidewalk. by Dynasty.

And the Hong Kong fashion houses copies were at least a season behind. The Festival of Fashion is a great show for many, but it remains to be seen if the' Hong Kong's manufacturers are prepared to make it anything more than a flash in the bucket, by Increasing their expenses to establish the kind of creative ingenuity that will enable them to compete with a relentlessly fast moving western market.

Commissioner Arthur M.
