SEMI-FINALISTS OF THE 2024 LVMH PRIZE

Ponder.erby Derek Cheng & Alex Po

PONDER.ER, the brainchild of creative duo Alex Po and Derek Cheng, challenges gender stereotypes and deconstructs social norms. The label’s striking gender-fluid designs are centred around the examination and dissemination of stereotypes and conventions. Tempering the edges of masculine stereotypes, with silhouettes, fabrics and philosophies that encourage experimentation and imagination, PONDER.ER is proud to invoke a soft revolution and invites wearers to experiment and explore their own identities. The brand was featured in Vogue Hong Kong’s ‘The Next List 2020’. It won the Yu Prize 2022 Grand Prize and was one of 10 Asian Designers To Watch from Fashion Asia Hong Kong.
