Tatler showcased the most fashionable individuals from Hong Kong on the recently revealed Asia's Most Influential: Style list, and we spoke to Vann Kwok to hear about her simple yet bold dress sense

Vann Kwok is informed by historical references to painting and sculpture, which unsurprisingly feeds into her designs that look more like wearable art than jewellery. Her pieces shine when worn with her personal style staples of white t-shirts and dressed up denim. When it comes to brands, she also prefers those with a sculptural quality such as Sacai and Junya Watanabe.

1. How would you describe your personal style?

Mostly casual. I'll usually wear a plain T-shirt, black trousers, white sneakers and a pair of statement earrings.

2. What a fashion Instagram account you're currently obsessed with?

@schiaparelli

3. What is your favourite fashion memory and why?

When I bumped into Ms. Vivienne Westwood in the panty when I worked at her London office.

4. What is an item in your closet that holds lot of sentimental value?

A bracelet that my dad bought for me when I was a kid.
