ICONS | Deconstructing Icons, with Greg Lauren

In this episode, we explore the question: What does it mean to be an icon, and how do icons endure or transform over time? Recorded at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in May 2026, the panel brings together fashion designer Greg Lauren and Nicolas Chow, Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia, for a conversation on art, fashion, and cultural memory, moderated by CC Xichu Wang, Maison Director of Sotheby’s Asia. From ancient sculptures and fragments to garments stitched from salvaged materials, the discussion reflects on imperfection, patina, and the human stories embedded in objects. Together, they consider how icons are created, deconstructed, and reimagined — and how they reveal new layers of meaning.
