Tell us about the outfit you picked out today?
I chose this blazer by Jacquemus and paired it with a We11done tee. This combination of the two creates an effortlessly sharp and put-together look that I find particularly appealing.
What is the most treasured item in your closet?
My grandma’s ring. It holds immense sentimental value to me since I received it after she passed away. It's a cherished piece that holds a special place in my heart.
What is your most and least favourite trend at the moment?
I’m thrilled about the resurgence of adidas track pants and how people are rocking them with blazers, white tees, or even layering them with skirts. It’s great to see their versatility in action! On the flip side, the colourful Y2K style just doesn’t resonate with me. I’ve always been more into the grungy Taylor Momsen or dark and punk Avril Lavigne kind of Y2K styles. They have a certain edge that I find more appealing.
What essential clothing items should everyone have in their wardrobe for the Hong Kong weather?
A lightweight plaid shirt. In Hong Kong’s fluctuating weather, it allows you to roll up the sleeves when warm and can easily be layered when transitioning into air-conditioned spaces like malls, where it tends to get cold.
Where do you look for creative inspiration?
Instagram and diverse magazines found in bookstores worldwide inspire me. I seek inspiration beyond fashion, exploring architecture and cookbooks with intriguing aesthetics and themes, especially those that recreate dishes from famous movies.
