“I believe life is a journey – you set sail in search of treasures and meet people who become friends. Just settling for a routine will not give you a great life.”
Enzo received his Higher Diploma in Fashion Design from the Hong Kong Design Institute in 2017, and then his Bachelor of Arts in Fashion and Textiles at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2019, majoring in Fashion Knitwear. Enzo's graduation project, "SINCE 1996", marked a turning point in his career, as not only did it earn him prestigious accolades such as the Esquel Outstanding Menswear Award at the Polytechnic University Graduation 2019 Fashion Show, but he was also the Second Runner-up at the Young Design Contest (YDC) 2019. This led to a valuable mentorship opportunity, when Enzo developed a capsule collection for JOYCE Boutique. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Enzo's experiences have proved to be a wellspring of inspiration, leading him to establish his own retail brand, VO-YAGE, in 2020. He now has an online shop and a physical shopfront.
VO-YAGE, as a brand, is dedicated to the concept of casual luxury and the continuous exploration of new fabrics and functional details. Each collection is a seamless fusion of comfortable, durable garments in timeless styles, inspired by Enzo's own stories and experiences. His 2022 collection, Fishermen Kountry, encapsulates the essence of new vintage style by reinterpreting the fishermen's aesthetic in a contemporary and sustainable manner. With a predominantly green palette, it showed hyperfunctional modular recycled zipperheads as accessories, and bespoke embroideries, adding a unique and personalised touch to the designs.
Enzo has set his sights on working in sustainable fashion design studios in Sweden, so as to learn from their innovative use of recycled fabrics and materials, as well as their unconventional publicity campaigns and marketing strategies.
