Meanwhile, the Macao SAR governmentis committed to advancing the developmentof cultural and creative industries as MFG continues its annual fashion project with 2020 Brand Story – Macao Original Fashion Exhibition, which highlights a variety of Macao-linked brands and closes this year with local brand No.42. Right now, it's showing the perfect embodiment of the GBA spirit via the unique bag label Faith & Fearless. Established in 2016 by designers from Macao, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the team has been nurtured and influenced by Cantonese culture from a young age, including classic '80s and '90s Hong Kong movies, golden-era Cantopop, television comedy shows, and cuisine from cha chaan teng and food stalls. Despite sharing common experiences, the brand embraces diversity.

The countercultural Faith & Fearless uses everyday materials such as woven and camouflage fabrics, polyester and PVC for its covetable bags. A young brand, it focuses on fast-fashion to evoke spirit and espouse a more casual feeling in its outlook, encouraging its wearers to buck current trends. This year's collection goes big on the Macao street-style influence.
