“Tongue + Chic” will showcase one-of-a-kind sneakers designed by some of the most influential names from the contemporary art world – think artists like Kaws, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Dave White, Gucci Ghost Artist Trevor Andrew and fashion designer Pyer Moss, to name a few. This deviation from their usual mediums like paintings and sculptures serves to demonstrate the influence these artists have had on the sneaker and streetwear scene, while enabling art lovers to engage with a new medium.

“Tongue + Chic” and “24/7” celebrate the influence of art on fashion and utilitarian objects while providing an avenue for enthusiasts and trendsetters of the pop culture and urban fashion scene to view the pieces up close – and even own them.

Phillips also stay true to their mission to support local artists by commissioning Hong Kong visual artist Ernest Chang to create an original art piece for the exhibition. You can check out his work on Instagram @iamernestchang.
