LIFE IS ABSURD

Absurdity arises from humanity’s desperate craving for meaning in a universe defined by cold indifference. In that chaos, we rebel — choosing to live passionately and dress with defiant purpose.
Founded by Eric Wong in 2012 in Hong Kong, Absurd Laboratory creates fashion that refuses to play it safe. Wearable yet experimental. Always one-of-a-kind. Because blending in was never the plan.
In recent years, Absurd Laboratory partnered with Hong Kong’s iconic vintage store Midwest to create a bold new vintage remake collection.
Moving beyond classic patchwork and retro tropes, we reimagine original fabrics, textures, and colors into modern, singular pieces that feel both forward and unmistakably Absurd.

Redressing the Lion Dance

Ha Kwok Cheung Lion Dance x Absurd Laboratory

The lion dance is inspired by Hong Kong’s neon-drenched nights and long-exposure light trails.

Made almost entirely from discarded shirts collected via the Redress take-back program, we cleaned and sterilized the fabric, then sliced the stripes into fine strips and pieced them together. The vibrant patterns mirror the city’s glowing neon, while the flowing strips capture Hong Kong’s electric rhythm and restless energy.
