It's not unusual to find banks, bookstores and coffee shops on a university campus, but what about a tailor?
Patrick Hui and Frency Ng, both Polytechnic University clothing technology researchers, teach at the Institute of Textiles and Clothing (ITC), but also run a loss-making business at the school's Troels Povlsen Care Apparel Centre.
In 2007, the duo founded the centre to make "caring" clothes for the elderly and disabled, becoming the first such initiative in Asia. One of its most popular garments is the "wheelchair raincoat", which extends over the legs.
"Nursing homes have plenty of blankets donated, but can barely provide suitable clothing for the handicapped and elderly," says Ng, the centre's director. "Often, they just sit in the wheelchair with a blanket draped over their shoulders. Some can't even put on pants because of their physical limitations."
