What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion is something which gives you the confidence to represent yourself better. Fashion is all about who you are.
How would you describe your personal style?
I really don’t have a specific style, I wear outfits depending on my mood. I always wear outfits confidently and I’d rather be over dressed than under dressed.
Your favorite place to shop in Macau…
Oh, I love to go to places where there are red tags “SALE”. (laughs) But most of the time, I go to Venetian, and Galaxy to shop for Zara, Pull & Bear, H&M, Esprit, and more.
What is your view on Macau’s fashion scene, do we have one?
The people here are very diverse and so is their sense of fashion. People here love to dress up as a way to express who they are. Due to the influence of Korean and Japanese fashion culture, Macau blends this into its own fashion scene and this helps to develop a more creative style.
How can Macau inspire the way you dress?
Macau can inspire the way you dress because people embrace fashion trends so you will automatically see the stylish crowd walking along the streets of Macau. Sometimes you can be inspired to dress up or showcase your own individual fashion style.
What would be an ideal weekend in Macau?
Catching up with friends having lunch or dinner; a chill-out weekend in some nice clubs in Cotai or bars in Taipa to end the day with a good wine or a nice cold beer.
What’s your favorite place in Macau to take photos?
Mostly integrated hotels and casinos around Cotai area and some unique streets around Macau side, old Taipa village and old Coloane Village.
Who takes photos for your outfits?
My friends or sometimes I ask random people to take photos of me.
What’s your fashion motto?
Every day is a fashion show and you do your best to look great.
What is your favorite fashion magazine? And why?
I wouldn’t say magazine. I would usually check out Instagram or other fashion blogs because nowadays it is easier to check something from there as it’s instantly on my phone.
