Burberry Focus
High-quality garments able to stand up to her busy schedule are the secret to Emily Lam-Ho’s consistently smart style, none more so than her most coveted staple, the Burberry trench coat
As an environmental activist, Emily Lam-Ho is drawn to things that last, which is why she’s been fond of the Burberry trench coat since she was a teenager in London.
“Back then—and even now—the Burberry trench coat was the must-have item among my friends,” says Emily, whose classic style was inspired by her movie star mother, Lynn Hsieh, during her Tatler photoshoot. “It was the most incredible feeling when I was finally able to put one on.”

Now the signature coat, which she has purchased in different styles and colours, is a wardrobe staple for her back-to-back schedule as a mum, philanthropist and entrepreneur.
“For me, the most important aspect for clothes is that they have to be comfortable and functional,” Emily says. “I love mixing staples like the trench coat with trendier pieces like a pair of tight faux leather pants for an effortlessly chic look. And living in Hong Kong, where the weather can be unstable, I always have my coat out and ready.”
