Fashion art director and stylist Sonya Gurung has successfully completed her international creative fashion project, “Mountains to the Met – Chapter One,” in collaboration with Hive Studios Hong Kong.
The project brought Nepali traditional clothing and jewelry to an international platform through creative fashion art and visual storytelling, featuring a diverse lineup of international models. The concept was designed to introduce Nepal’s rich cultural identity, craftsmanship, and fashion heritage to a global audience.
As part of the project, a special Meet & Greet event was organized in Hong Kong, attended by prominent members of the Nepali community, social leaders, business professionals, and invited guests. Attendees were given an exclusive preview of the fashion art presentation, which combined traditional Nepali elements with contemporary creative expression.
Known for her unique approach to fashion storytelling, Sonya Gurung has spent more than a decade creating fashion shows, cultural programs, and awareness campaigns both in Nepal and abroad. Her productions are recognized for blending fashion, choreography, art, and culture, offering experiences that go beyond the traditional runway format.
Throughout her career, Gurung has also worked to create opportunities for emerging talents and individuals who often receive limited exposure within the industry. Her projects regularly focus on inclusion, creativity, and cultural representation.
The project received support from the Nepal Tourism Board as the Tourism Promotion Partner and Nepal Airlines as the Official Airline Partner. According to the organizers, the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to promoting Nepal’s culture, tourism, creativity, and national identity on the international stage.
Through “Mountains to the Met,” Sonya Style Creative Fashion Team Nepal aims to continue expanding the global reach of Nepali fashion, traditional textiles, jewelry, and cultural heritage. The initiative is part of a broader effort to position Nepal’s creative industries in international fashion and cultural conversations.
With its successful debut in Hong Kong, the project marks another step forward in bringing Nepali fashion and culture to audiences around the world.
