My portfolio, musings, amusing(s - that a word? No? K.) and more. Photoshoots over the years, behind the scenes anecdotes, some awesome celebrity encounters (some horrific ones too!). 21 years+ as a journalist in Hong Kong - that's a lot of verbal diarr... um... discourse!
Everything’s coming up Rosé this month.
Earlier this week, Tiffany & Co. announced the global launch of the Tiffany Lock collection and its debut in Hong Kong with brand ambassador Rosé from K-pop girl group Blackpink (and just ahead of the quartet’s mega concerts in Hong Kong, too).

Floral for spring but timeless in nature, Cindy Chao impresses yet again.
When you first enter (by appointment only) the maison of jeweller Cindy Chao (whose company name is Cindy Chao The Art Jewel), the exploratory conceit is, it doesn’t look like a store—or a jewellery shop. When you saunter in, it’s really a museum with singular gem- and diamond-encrusted artefacts in frames. Except, upon closer inspection, it is, in fact, jewellery. And yes, it’s wearable and it’s on sale. It’s also rare, often unique, and made with the most magnificent stones sourced from the world over to create Chao’s notable collection.

Call it “Scents and Sensibility”—the heat is on, but these spritzes will keep you cool.
Like all matters of taste, the olfactory is peculiar to the individual. One man’s amber and woody musk is another’s gag reflex trigger, so tread lightly, we say. But there are some recent drops that have caught our eye—well, nose—and we at Robb Report Hong Kong are swooning on the heady colognes and concoctions of Tom Ford, Francis Kurkdjian, and Henry Jacques, whose options cover the top notes of the aroma profile, with designer packaging that seals the deal.

The Italian luxury brand is gently covering the world in cashmere.
In the thick of Art Week in Hong Kong, there is a welcome, fashionable interruption to the social calendar—the grand opening of a signature store for Brunello Cucinelli.
Carolina Cucinelli, co-president and co-creative director, attended the ceremony to usher in this important new chapter and space for the Italian maison as Queen’s Road Central was blocked off for the grand unveiling. A lavish opening that saw the subtle and the stylish strut in to view the large new store in the guise of a warm, welcoming home—Casa Cucinelli, as the concept is called—the space was studded with menswear, womenswear, accessories, and lifestyle gear, all in the muted shades, refined fabric, and elegant silhouette the brand is famed for; the pre-opening buzz is unsurprising.

The marque behind multiple Robb Report (Global Edition) Car of the Year awards has re-engineered the icon with a total focus on performance.
Stunning archival and contemporary pieces from the storied brand are on display—as are images of the women that inspired them.
“It’s not about the jewels”—an odd statement to make considering the labyrinth halls and cavernous rooms of the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) are decked to the hilt with over 300 dazzling pieces from the annals and vaults of Cartier’s storied history. Breath-taking jewellery, unique time pieces, often jewel-studded objects, and artifacts are all collected in one place for this event. But all the glittering trinkets are dwarfed by the giant posters of notable women, royals, fashion icons, and women of power and distinction.
