Description	This chapter starts off with problematizing 'fashion' as a racialized practice and notion. It discusses efforts to what I refer to as 'un-racializing' fashion, with the emergence of 'black fashion' in the US. In the Asian context, however, the success story of Japanese fashion has been critiqued as an eagerness to appropriate Western designs, while also 'self-orientalizing' to capture the Western gaze. As a former British colony, Hong Kong's rapid ascension as an international trading and apparel production centre in the 1960s has not encouraged an insurgence of unique designs that contribute to 'Hong Kong fashion'. Its eagerness to satisfy international orders has dwarfed its agency to venture into creating designs that are uniquely 'Hong Kong'. Recently, an emergent initiative to raise ethnic fashion designs, employing multi-racial fashion models in catwalk shows, has become a uniquely powerful political statement to enhance minority/racial visibility, in the fashion scene as well as in society. Interviews and ethnographic observations with the organizers of the fashion shows (who themselves are refugees), and the South Asian minority models form the basis of the argument of how fashion and modelling operate as the aesthetics and practice of ethnic resistance through recognition.
