Shin Wong
Curator of deTour 2026

Born in Taipei and raised in New Zealand, Shin Wong is an independent curator and creative visionary with a discerning eye for art, fashion, design and culture. Trained in fine arts, she blends artistic sensibility with intellectual curiosity, believing that creativity should bring beauty, meaning and joy to everyday life.

For over 16 years, Shin has been the creative mind behind numerous cross-disciplinary collaborations, championing emerging talents across Asia. Since 2015, she has shaped deTour, Hong Kong’s flagship annual design festival, into a vibrant platform for experimentation, creative exchange and new talents to shine.

In 2022, Shin co-founded FabriX, now an independent fashion innovation brand bridging fashion, technology and culture. Through collaborations with the British Fashion Council, FHCM and Pitti Uomo, FabriX has brought innovative fashion experiences to London, Paris and Florence.

Working across institutions, brands and cities, Shin builds cultural bridges between Asia and Europe, connecting people, ideas and opportunities. Her work is not institutional—it is catalytic.
