You want to raise your profile and increase your followers on social media, you have clothes to promote and an image to maintain, you need publicity in magazines and you need it right now. Who do you turn to?
Well, it might be a good idea to contact up and coming Hong Kong stylist Chan Chi Lung, who works with high-profile fashion influencers such as Si Lin and is about to collaborate with fast-rising model and fashion blogger Siu Sinyu.
The Post caught up with Chan in a coffee shop near his home in Chalk Farm, near Camden Town in northwest London. He has his own distinctive style of dressing and on this particular evening the most striking aspects of his clothes are his amazing hand embroidered denim jacket and his hat – the kind that only certain people can pull off. On him it looked natural and perfect for his “look”.
It soon becomes clear that Chan is someone totally immersed in the world of fashion and creativity.
“I check every single brand constantly, including smaller labels, so I know what’s trending ahead of the curve,” he says.
