Street Fashion in Hong Kong | Intersection | The New York Times

Hong Kong has developed a
very mature fashion culture.

After many years of development,

it is more mature than mainland China,
in terms of fashion.

My style is inspired by traveling and magazines.

I pay attention to the local fashion
when I go traveling.

The Star Street area in Wan Chai has more stylish
youngsters coming here.

My personal style philosophy is
"less is more".

My bag is from my friend's shop www.doing.hk.

He creates tote bags and backpacks about
the Cantonese language.

I like free style and natural style.

My glasses are Kaneko Optical handmade
glasses from Japan.

My top and dress both are from
Pleats Please Issey Miyake.

My bag is also from Issey Miyake.

My personal style: fun and edgy.

My style icons are

Bruce Lee, definitely, David Bowie,

Kate Moss, Faye Wong,
and also my mother, actually.

For someone who is colorblind,

she can put a fierce outfit
together for sure.

Today I am wearing glasses from Visual Culture,

this earcuff from Net a Porter,

the top earcuff is from matches.com,

earrings, jewelry from Joomi Lin based in New York.

Wedding ring and XR Jewelry from New York.

My knot top and my skirt is from a local designer

called Joanna Ho.

My high heels from Balenciaga, and socks from Gap.

My personal style philosophy:

Never follow trends too blindly. You need
to dress according to your body shape,

your age, and just be comfortable as well.

The fashion scene in Hong Kong is very interesting.

I think people are a little bit more daring compared
to the olden days.

This area, Wan Chai, is definitely a very unique area.

One part of it is the Red Light District,

the other part is fashion and quite hip area.

What's so good about Hong Kong people-

I call then Hongkies- they really try to

be trendy, no matter what age they are.

From teenagers to 20 to 30 something,
or even to 60 something,

year old ladies, they will make an
effort to

be part of the fashion.

Whether it suits them or not, they will still try,

and that's what I love about Hong Kong people.
