Taipei-based Leslie Sun is the founder of Sunset, a former experimental retail space that now acts as the production office of her creative agency, Sunset Projects, which focuses on art and design. A passionate art collector, Sun, who’s often seen at art fairs around the world, is one of Taiwan’s most stylish young women.

“I’m preparing for [art fair] Frieze London. As most of my travels revolve around art fairs and gallery or museum openings, I thought I’d share part of my packing list and how I usually dress for these events. My style has recently been about West Coast [Los Angeles] street style meets classic Parisian.

It’s crucial to be in comfortable clothing at fairs, as there is a lot of walking and the days are long. I usually go with trainers and loose pants, so at 4pm when I feel like I’m about to collapse, I won’t also suffocate from anything too tight on my body.

This particular outfit is pretty standard: white T-shirt with a pair of reworked denims I got from RTH in Los Angeles. It’s my favourite place to shop for jeans if I want the contemporary punkish look. I tend to stay away from things that are too trendy. They really do their own thing at RTH. A vest from Chanel’s recent Métier d’Arts collection pulls the look together.
