Daisy Chow
Daisy Chow grew up four floors above her family's tailoring shop in Tai Kok Tsui, learning the difference between English worsted and Italian super 150s before she could legally drink. She spent her teenage Saturdays at the Sham Shui Po fabric market and read Fashion Communication at Central Saint Martins in London before returning home in 2022.
She came back convinced that Hong Kong had a more interesting style story than anyone was telling — a city where you can buy a custom qipao, a designer bag, a forty-year-old Yohji jacket and a hand-thrown ceramic vase all in the same week. She covers it all, with an equal enthusiasm for a HK$40 enamel teapot and an archival find.
Daisy's recommendations come from relentless on-the-ground hunting — the upstairs shops, the unmarked studios and the markets that don't show up on a tourist map.
