THE STYLE ISSUE

JOY TO THE world – it’s that time of the year again! A new fashion season is upon us and that means we have lots of goodies in store for you. We’re always excited for a change of scenery, especially when it comes to our wardrobes. The arrival of the autumn/winter 2019 season means that we can finally put away the sandals and straw bucket bags, and start dreaming of layering up for the cooler months to come. From some of our favourite looks of the season to the best winter coats, we’ve packed this issue full of fantastic fashion shoots so you can gather inspiration on your looks for the coming months. We prove that style isn’t only reserved for the runway, but you can also look ultra-chic while skating on four wheels in our photo and video shoot with Korean longboarding sensation Ko Hyo-joo, who rolls into to the city’s newest enviable residential property in the sky at Rosewood Residences. Speaking of skyscrapers, we shine a spotlight on the internet’s bravest daredevils, Ivan Kuznetsov and Angela Nikolau, who rose to Insta-fame for freestyle-scaling some of the world’s tallest buildings just to capture the ultimate shot. You’ve been warned: the photos and especially the video are not for those with vertigo. Did you notice our adorable cover girl, Somi? The 18-year-old Korean-Dutch-Canadian singer is positively delightful with her infectious optimism and bubbly energy, and speaks to us about what’s on her mind during her transformation from a teenager to an adult. We wanted to fill this issue with more positivity and smiling faces, so it was only natural to enlist the sunny radiance of Hong Kong’s own Elva Ni as well. Known for her charm and promoting a healthy body image, Elva stuns and wows as the part-time yoga instructor looks ethereal in high-fashion looks. There’s so much more to say, but we’ll let you explore the rest on your own! Last but certainly not least, though, we get a chance to speak with world- famous street style photographer Tommy Ton. It’s every devout fashionista or fashionisto’s dream to have the opportunity to be shot by the #legend, but how will they react to his becoming the creative director of a fashion brand? We have a snippet of the interview in this issue, but you’ll have to scan the QR code to read the full interview and see much, much more.
