Bright lights, big city: Hong Kong prepares to host glitzy Louis Vuitton runway show as it bids to again take centre stage as a fashion capital

Hong Kong’s tribute to the stars has been shut down since Wednesday night in preparation for the first runway show by luxury style brand Louis Vuitton.

Industry players said the glitzy event, to be held on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui on Thursday, would burnish the city’s image as an international style capital.
