Hong Kong's Art and Commerce Intersection: A Boost from Met Gala and Art Basel
Published on 3.31.25
Hong Kong's Art and Commerce Intersection is a significant aspect of its "Super March" of mega-events, which includes the Sevens rugby tournament and Art Basel. These events are expected to provide a temporary economic boost.
The art world has witnessed a surge in popularity with the upcoming Met Gala, where Manish Malhotra will be one of the co-chairs alongside Anna Wintour and other notable figures. The Met Gala's theme this year is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which will focus on menswear and the work of many Black designers.
The event is expected to draw significant attention to the art world, particularly in the context of fashion and design. This will likely have a notable influence on local businesses, including tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors in Hong Kong.
