"Your biggest 'hater' is usually not an enemy. It is usually the ones closest to you. "
"Your anxiety acts up around certain people because their energy disturbs your spirit. 🌪️"

"My circle is so small that if you know my business, I know exactly who told you. 🔄🔒"
"Don't tell a person everything. You might be educating the enemy. 🤐🗣️"
"Sometimes your humbleness makes people think they can play with you. 🤲"
"Get you a team that'll play whatever position they need to, as long as we WIN. 🏆👥"
"You can never build a kingdom with someone who still craves attention from the village. 🏰🌇"
"One of the biggest mistakes we can make is assuming other people think the way we do. 🤔"
"The Universe shows me how people really are, and I be like 'no they not,' and the Universe be like 'okay, let me show you again'... dummy. 🌌🌍"
"NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR HEART IS, EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE TO START TREATING PEOPLE HOW THEY TREAT YOU. ❤️✨"
"Cutting people off and letting them live with whatever delusional story suits them best is called top-tier maturity. ✂️🚫"

Was so delighted to attend the Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Mediterranean Essences launch event. It felt as if I had been transported to the Mediterranean, fully immersed in an elegant moment filled with the poetic charm and fragrant scents of the South of France.
*New Chloé Mediterranean Essences* fragrance collection, infusing the sunlight and elegance of the Mediterranean into its scents.
The series embodies the brand’s philosophy, artfully capturing the unique fragrances of the Mediterranean under the sun with a natural and captivating approach, transporting you as if you were in the South of France.
*Atelier des Fleurs Sous les Pins*
Captures the resinous notes of pine and eucalyptus trees, weaving together a warm and delicate, deeply intoxicating aroma.
*Atelier des Fleurs Plage du Figuier*
Reinterprets the fig of the South of France in a fresh new way, delivering a rich and sweet scent as dense and luscious as fig flesh.
*Atelier des Fleurs Vert Soleil*
Bisch highlights lentisque, an ingredient rarely explored in perfumery, a Mediterranean shrub that brings a distinctive resinous aroma.
*Atelier des Fleurs Sable Lavande*
Presents the soft and warm scent of lavender, with its gentle, airy notes like fine sand slipping through your fingers, highlighted by a sunny fig accord.
*A Mediterranean-inspired bottle*
The Mediterranean Essences perfume bottle continues the signature plissé soleil pleated glass design, paired with a warm green hue and a fine sand-textured cap, perfectly showcasing Chloé’s minimalist elegance and Mediterranean spirit.

Ray-Ban Red debut at Art Basel Hong Kong
Red as a state of mind.
A signal. A presence.
Before seeing, there is feeling.
No reflection. Only reception.
Ray-Ban Red arrives at Art Basel Hong Kong—not as a statement, but as a space. An open platform where photographers, painters, and cultural voices converge to reshape what Ray-Ban stands for today.
Inside the Collectors Lounge Foyer (25–29 March 2026), the installation becomes a live act. Kwonny takes a blank canvas and saturates it in red—a performance that captures the energy of a community united by one powerful color.
Tradition meets the moment. Boldness takes form.

For many of us growing up in Hong Kong, Garden “嘉頓” is far more than a brand. It is a collective memory, quietly woven into our daily lives—so familiar and ever-present that we often take it for granted. Yet this quiet, steady warmth is exactly what makes it such an authentic symbol of Hong Kong spirit.
Those who know my work understand that I mostly take on projects that hold deep personal connection and meaning to my own memories. Garden, to me, carries exactly that kind of irreplaceable weight.
I rarely share this publicly, but my grandfather (爺爺) once served as product distribution for Garden and brought this beloved Hong Kong brand to Japan. Like so many families, we always had a tin of Garden cream crackers at home when I was young—a simple, constant comfort that stayed with me throughout my childhood.
To be part of Garden’s centennial journey already feels incredibly special. Getting to work alongside dear friend @maggiehomaggie makes this even more meaningful and heartfelt.
Some connections transcend time.
Grateful to reconnect with a piece of Hong Kong’s history in this way.

VALMONT Hydra³ Collection: My Skin’s Hydration Power Station
Late nights have left my skin feeling parched—though Hong Kong isn’t dry at the moment, my skin still needed serious hydration. Thankfully, the Hydra³ line delivers deep, lasting moisture that truly quenches my skin’s thirst.
My Thoughts on Each Product:
Hydra³ Charging Cream
My absolute favorite. Rich yet lightweight, it melts into skin without feeling greasy and locks in moisture all night. Waking up to plump, dewy skin has become my new favorite ritual—dry skin lovers, this is a must-have.
Hydra³ Mask
My go-to rescue remedy. A 15-minute application instantly smooths fine lines and calms redness. Perfect for pre-makeup prep, it creates a flawless base that lasts all day.
Hydra³ Mist
My on-the-go hydration hero. I keep it in my bag to spritz throughout the day
Hydra³ Booster
The ultimate prep step. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula delivers deep hydration, prepping skin to better absorb the rest of my skincare routine.
Overall Verdict
The entire Hydra³ line strikes the perfect balance between hydration and freshness—ideal for Hong Kong’s humid climate, and great for dry or combination skin types.
Pro Tips
· For extra dry skin: Use the Charging Cream morning and night; combination skin can stick to nighttime use only.
