About Graphicairlines:
Established in 2002, a creative team consists of 2 people, TAT & Vi. Our aim is to enjoy the voyage of life creation. Flying to different realms of creativity are what we hope for. We love to drawing on street, on tee, on wall, on paper, on wood, on canvas, on clay or by computer... Everything can be our canvas. You are very welcomed to aboard www.graphicairlines.com
TAT★GAL:(M) Totally from Hong Kong. Designer, illustrator and street artist. Because life is short, he is trying not to be a money slave and working cow.He established GraphicAirlines for finding the freedom of his own creations. He obsessed in drawing ugly bunny like characters and tee print designs.
VI★GAL:(F) Graduated from Creative Media program at Hong Kong City University.Without a thought, she accidentally stepped into the world of drawing, but surprisingly feels good with creating. She started her doodles and making ugly clay dolls from 2004. The fat face with big chests is her icon character. Those fat and big chests characters represents the metropolitan's excessing materials life and distending desires.

This is a time to rethink, review and reinvent. Fashion and design are at a crossroads as designers move beyond passivity and embrace all kinds of new possibilities.
Cross Vision, New Mission is a rebellion against opulence, while also being a fresh attempt at introspection, self-discovery and creating what is closest to one's heart. Here is where lies the power to transform and transcend the global economic uncertainty. The collections are classics remixed with a contemporary sensibility, while helping to redefine a new design mindset.
Participating creative units:
Interplay Workshop, Jay Forster, Kerry Wong, Roger Lee, Zing Wong, Ks, Outsign. Lab, Ruby Woo, Sophia Yeung Washford, Kim Lo, Start From Zero and Graphicairlines
