Mazu Resortwear: Hong Kong menswear brand

Mazu Resortwear 

Let’s hear it for a home-grown menswear brand. Eurasian designer Adam Raby’s Mazu is a local favourite, incorporating Hong Kong iconography, prints, and city- and sea-inspired features from our humble shores. The Lei Yue Mun at Sunset swim shorts are great for a dip, but to strut around with a glass of Dom Pérignon, the Hapa Shorts in midnight navy with red piping can transport you from the seas to the city with equal ease. The little Hong Kong junk logo on the button is a cute signature touch.

David Oshry for Vitruvian man: Alex Aalto Photography

Ad shot in Hong Kong. for Vitruvian official. An organic skincare brand for men. I received a bunch of their products - thanks Alex - and gave some away to local crew - they absolutely loved it and bought more from @vitruvianofficial  ie https://vitruvian-man.com/

For those with sensitive skin esp prone to razor burn, its soothing emulsions that are not heavily scented. A necessity more than a luxury. It's products you use on your face; indulge and splurge a little! 

For my shameless plug I have an absolute favourite, the Supreme Eye Cream. Have jumped into the dark side of age (where I can no longer bold-face lie about the last shreds of youth I cling to) where the ravages of time and jaded exhaustion lay heavily under my eye. Need Supreme Eye Cream.

David Oshry and his missus Lenka Korbova. I've begged her to hyphenate her name to Lenka Oshry-Korbova so I can call her Mrs OK.

Cause these tiny things amuse me enddddddddddddlessly.

Outtakes: Cover Shoot: David Oshry in Armani: Outtakes from Runway magazine cover for Prestige

Runway cover shoot; David Oshry in Armani.

Options that we were considering before making the final selection. Standing mid traffic or in motion...

South African model - based in Hong Kong - for Runway magazine cover shoot, for Prestige 

Pictures by Olivier. Of course. 

Working with David Oshry

After a long, long, long cover shoot, when I finally got home, found a little note in my pocket written by my cover star David Oshry.

Handwriting of a serial killer no?

Kidding.

Just so happens that over the past decade, he's someone I've worked with the most over the years. Not just cause he's the best in the biz, he's on time, never complains, treats everyone with kindness and respect, is a good laugh between long pauses between shots... and then he leaves without bothering anyone else.

Usually we work with models once and never again - oh that gal Ekta B comes to mind quel dommage et horreur -  but simply being professional works in favour of everyone involved.

Thanks Bubz. And yeah - see you soon. On set.

Playlist: David Oshry: South African diver and Model Tells All: My Favourite Things

Photographer: Florent Petitfrere www.florentpetitfrere.com

South African model based in Hong Kong, David Oshry lists some of his favourite things:

What I'm Listening to: Nirvana. The albums Nevermind and Unplugged were the soundtrack to my more "interesting" teen years. You also can't go wrong with a bit of Hoobastank and Soundgarden.

What I'm reading: The Only Three Questions that Still Count by Ken Fisher (an investor and investment expert) and Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, a book on the differences between the conscious and subconscious mind.

What I'm watching: 30 Rock (I love Tina Fey). Mythbusters and Saturday Night Live. I also love The Daily Show and South Park.

What artists I'm following: an Aussie friend introduced me to a blues singer from the outback called Shaun Kirk. He plays a full electro drum set with his feet, blows on a harmonica, plays the guitar and sings, all at the same time.

What I'm surfing: ibike.com.hk (for bike porn), store.apple.com/hk (for tech porn) and valueline.com (for investment porn).

Step Out in Style

Cover shoot for Galaxy magazine. Fall 2012.
Shot with Olaf Mueller for this issue. One of many we've worked on.
Karen Yiu for hair/makeup. Amazing to work with her as always.  She brought along Adam Wong for hair/make up.
My first shoot with the loverly Tasha Ling - she styled the shoot.
Yet another shoot with David O.

And Melanie Z knocked it out of the park. She's soooooo beautiful and was so wonderful to work with. Can't wait to work with her again. Now a face in popular ads on tv and billboards across HK, was thrilled to work with her before fame that's inevitably about to hit her.
