Everlasting Summer
Tatler caught up with some of the city’s movers and shakers to get their take on summer style. Here, they share their tips on looking effortless and chic
“When it comes to clothing, the attention to detail is important to me: when you give clothing detail like the cutting, styling and stitching, then it becomes fashion. In architecture as well, you could be constructing a building, but when you give it attention, form and the shape, then it becomes architecture”
–WILLIAM LIM, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CL3 ARCHITECTS
“In clothing, you think of the fabric, the textiles and patterns. These are all elements that you see in interiors as well. Textures, textiles and patterns are things that we also try to incorporate in design”
–VINCE LIM, CO-FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR, LIM + LU
“In fashion I look for things that are minimalistic. Even for design, we keep things simple and modern. I look for simple, easy maintenance clothing”
–KEVIN LIM, MANAGING DIRECTOR, OPENUU
“I go to work six days a week, and when I do, I love wearing dresses because they are very simple and easy to accessorise. They are feminine and look nice on the body”
–LEANNE LU-CHU, CEO, INFANTS TODDLERS & TWOS; DIRECTOR, GLOBAL PARENT CHILD RESOURCE CENTRE
“In the summertime, I’m always outdoors, so I love wearing comfortable tops”
– PAUL CHU, PRESIDENT, REDWOLF AIRSOFT SPECIALIST LTD
“My style philosophy is all about comfort and ease. I love basic, neutral colours. Luckily in my line of work—the restaurant business— my staff and I can dress casually. I don’t necessarily need to be wearing a business suit every day”
–CANDICE SUEN-SIEBER, DIRECTOR OF BITE LIMITED
“I love sneakers—i have a ton of shoes. If I can’t find them in one shop then I search for hours until I find the perfect ones. I look for shoes that are unique and comfortable”
–KAPE SIEBER, DIRECTOR OF STUDEO KAPE
