This is a moment for our brand to become really grounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">After studying at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), Lam went on to earn a master\u2019s degree at the London College of Fashion from 2019 to 2020. He later returned to Hong Kong to teach at his alma mater, where he developed a passion for textiles and natural dyeing. In 2021, he founded Genau Studio, which offers garment-dyeing services and workshops focused on natural dyes.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Lam credits his love for nature to his childhood growing up in a small village in China\u2019s Guangdong province, before he moved to Hong Kong aged 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/fashion-beauty\/article\/3368777\/how-hong-kong-designer-kinyan-lams-slow-fashion-label-puts-chinese-ethnic-artisans-first?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong designer Kinyan Lam\u2019s autumn\/winter 2026 collection, Grounded, is more than a seasonal drop.
