Mae Kwan, architect turned interior designer, is the latest Hongkonger to tell us about their fashion and interior decor choices.



 
Topshop
This is such a summer dress. I picked it because it's so colourful. It's just one of those patterns that makes you happy.
The 9th Muse bracelet
They're almost like a flea market and they have such a diverse and well curated selection of jewellery from all over the world.
Vintage-style ring
My mum used to wear this ring all the time when I was a child. In the '80s, one of her friends made jewellery and she had this piece custom made.

Vintage robots
My mum bought these from a charity auction in Shanghai and gave them to my husband and I when we married.
Orchids
I like to have a lot of plants and flowers around me all the time. Not only do I draw inspiration from nature in my design collection, but it also calms me.
