Years ago I was in Hong Kong, I'm no expert but it seemed like I saw styles and colors that I hadn't seen before.
Back in the US, 18 months later, I finally start to see these same styles and use of colors - which I'd completely forgotten about. I assumed the fashions started in East Asia, moved on to Europe, then the East Coast, and finally arrived in California. HK was (is?) known for it's shopping and inexpensive knock-offs
Does this sound right (for the pre-digital world)?
