Ekouaer Debuts Collection at New York Fashion Week

NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ekouaer made a stunning debut at New York Fashion Week on 8 September, unveiling two exquisite collections that captivated the audience with their unique take on women's loungewear. Adding to the allure of the event, supermodel Helena Christensen graced the runway, bringing an extra layer of sophistication and star power to the show.

Held at the iconic Cipriani 25 Broadway in New York, the show set the stage for a presentation that was as calming as it was elegant—perfectly encapsulating Ekouaer's mission to create a utopia of freedom, relaxation, and health.

The first collection, designed by Ekouaer's in-house team, emphasized a "less is more" philosophy, showcasing the beauty of simplicity and the power of understated elegance. Every piece was thoughtfully crafted to offer an "oxygen space" in the world of clothing—a sanctuary where women could forget life's troubles, escape work pressures, and rejuvenate their tired bodies. The luxurious, soft fabrics were carefully chosen not just for their comfort, but for their ability to gently embrace the wearer's inner essence, reminding them of the tranquility that Ekouaer strives to infuse into every garment.

The overarching theme was a return to authenticity—a call to escape the chaos of the outside world and reconnect with oneself. This collection was not merely about aesthetics but also about fostering a lifestyle where simplicity and comfort reign supreme. Each design was a cherished addition to any wardrobe, offering a tangible connection to Ekouaer's core values of authenticity, comfort, and inner peace. It was a celebration of the comfort found in being true to oneself—a reflection of Ekouaer's dedication to guiding people back to a long-lost sense of authenticity and leisure.

The second collection was the result of a collaboration with Isabella Cortese, the co-founder of Nube Studio in Barcelona. An Italian designer with an impressive background, Cortese graduated from the prestigious IED Moda Milano and has built a career that includes notable roles such as apparel graphic designer at Moncler and head graphic designer at A Better Mistake. Her collaboration with Ekouaer brought a fresh perspective to the show, blending her rich imagination with the brand's commitment to timelessness.

Cortese's designs were deeply inspired by nature, with flowers serving as the central motif. The collection beautifully captured three distinct moments of blooming during the spring-summer journey: the early morning mist, the golden sunset, and the serene midnight. Each piece was not just a garment but an invitation to savor life's quieter moments—a core mission of Ekouaer.

Through delicate floral prints, Cortese expressed the passage of time and the evolving emotions that accompany it. The result was a range that felt both deeply personal and universally appealing, syncing the wearer's breath with the rhythm of nature and offering a moment of tranquility amid the busyness of daily life. These designs were more than just fashion statements; they were an embodiment of Ekouaer's vision of creating an oasis of calm and authenticity in a fast-paced world.

The models on the runway embodied this natural elegance, with floral elements seamlessly integrated into their looks. Their graceful postures and the subtle yet impactful designs highlighted the quiet strength and charm that the collection sought to evoke.

Whether at home or on the road, these pieces offered a connection to nature and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in simplicity—a true testament to Ekouaer's dedication to crafting an "oxygen space" in fashion.

Ekouaer's debut at New York Fashion Week was more than just a fashion show—it was a celebration of inner peace, authenticity, and the timeless allure of nature. With these two collections, the brand has successfully introduced a new kind of luxury that speaks to the soul and resonates deeply with those seeking comfort and style in their everyday lives.

This momentous occasion in Ekouaer's journey towards global recognition highlighted the brand's commitment to its mission: to inspire and connect with audiences worldwide by offering them a sanctuary of tranquility in the form of fashion.

HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A spokesperson for Lingnan University welcomed the results of the 2026 ShanghaiRanking's Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). Lingnan rose significantly from the 901st to 1,000th band globally last year to the 601st to 700th band this year, representing an advancement of 300 places and the biggest rise among Hong Kong SAR's eight UGC-funded universities. The university has also risen to joint 6th place within this group. The encouraging improvement is consistent with Lingnan's upward trend in other international university rankings in recent months, reflecting the phased results of the University's continued strategic transformation in recent years and recognition from the international academic community.

Lingnan's rise in the ARWU is driven by improvements across a range of indicators, including the number of Highly Cited Researchers, papers published in Nature and Science, papers indexed in major citation databases, and per-capita academic performance. A key factor behind this progress is the University's growing number of Highly Cited Researchers, a metric that accounts for 20 per cent of the ranking and reflects Lingnan's strategy of building a critical mass of high-impact researchers. Lingnan has also launched the Lingnan-60 Global Talent Recruitment scheme, which aims to bring in over 60 outstanding scholars from around the globe, strengthening the University's research capacity across disciplines.

In recent years, Lingnan University has been committed to developing into a leading research-oriented liberal arts university comprehensive in arts and sciences in the digital era, while contributing to the development of Hong Kong SAR as an international education hub. In response to the transformation of higher education brought about by the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, the University has actively pursued its strategic transformation through "Liberal Arts + Technology" and "AI+", recruited talent from around the world, promoted campus internationalisation, and strengthened industry-academia-research collaboration, gradually establishing a distinctive and competitive development positioning.

Recently, Lingnan participated in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings for the first time, ranking 84th in Asia and placing among the top 100 universities in Asia. In the newly released QS World University Rankings 2027, Lingnan rose by more than 120 places from last year to 581st globally, marking its biggest rise in recent years.

In addition, in the latest THE Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026, Lingnan University rose from the 101st to 200th band globally last year to 63rd this year, entering the global top 100 for the first time. In the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education category, Lingnan retained its position as the world's number one. The University also ranked first in Hong Kong for six SDGs and placed seven SDGs among the global top 100.

Looking ahead, Lingnan will continue to recruit top talent from around the world, promote campus internationalisation, and strengthen interdisciplinary industry-academia-research collaboration. The University will draw on the strengths of a liberal arts education in developing students' critical thinking, interdisciplinary thinking and ability to address complex social issues, while combining the humanities with cutting-edge technologies in science, technology and artificial intelligence to equip students to respond to new challenges in the digital era and develop innovative solutions.
