Style secrets of the hip  and fashionable

Investment banker

Wardrobe staple?

Suits for work.

Fashion no-nos?

Looking like you walked out of brand XX's lookbook, page XX.

Favourite shoe designer?

Jimmy Choo Couture, Dolce  & Gabbana and Christian Louboutin.

Must-have accessory?

Phone and BlackBerry.

Most cherished fashion items?

Everything from my mother;  a vintage cameo and enamel necklace from Reina Tan and Audrey Chiu, founders of  When I was Five; and charms from my nieces.

Favourite designer?

Barney Cheng  and Balenciaga.  Barney is so amazing; his talent extends beyond designing only clothes. Nicolas Ghesquiere,   who designs for Balenciaga,  is a genius and his creations  are original.

What do you buy every  spring/summer?

Sunblock

Style icon?

My mother. She knows who  she is; she never compromises for the sake of trends; and she  is always impeccable.

Most expensive fashion item?

Hermes Birkin - and fortunately for me it doesn't depreciate  in value.

Flats or stilettos?

Stilettos

High-end or high street?

Both, so that I can mix  and match.

Fashion disaster?

Someone once stepped on  my gown and ripped it at the beginning of the evening, so  I had to spend the rest of the night sitting down.

Favourite spring trend?

The minidress.

What colours and prints will  you be wearing this spring?

White, bright colours

and metallics.

What are you coveting  this season?

I've got my eye on an Estaraza alligator bag by Sharie R. Tse.  A friend carried one at the  Paris shows and received so many compliments, including one from Andre  Leon Talley  of Vogue.

Favourite resort wear?

I burn really easily, so a  hat and sunglasses are  musts, along with chiffon  and cotton tops.

Your fashion style?

Simple and elegant, with a bit  of edge.

Name three things you can't do without in your wardrobe?

Jeans, a good coat and a lightweight and roomy  shoulder bag.
