Despite spending 12 of her formative years in Canada, there's something unmistakably Hong Kong about Thierry Chow. It's not just that her father is well-known fung shui master Chow Hon-ming, it's her funky and eclectic style.

Chow loves vintage wear, but it's not just great finds that make her personal look. She says she's always been a daydreamer. "I'm a visual person; every single thing I see every day inspires me. I can look at anything and see interesting bits of useful fashion-related information."

While living in Canada, Chow studied illustrating at Sheridan College in Ontario. "I always loved fashion, but I don't always read magazines or attend events," she says. "I have a pretty good sense of what's about to be trendy. When I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer, but now the most important thing is freedom to create."

What Chow makes now are miniature dolls and objects, inspired by her illustrations. They're rooted in her fashion style, which includes her confessed obsession for collecting miniatures, especially in earring form.

Chow goes for a simple but stylish look. "When I'm feeling casual, I go for more colour," she says. "If I feel more girly or I'm going somewhere nice, it's vintage and classy, but personalised with a sharp-coloured lipstick."
