		Him, 16, is a student. He is a punk, and has his outfits tailor-made at T.U.K in Castle President Commercial Centre.
		Suki, is 18, and in sales. Her look is casual, and will buy “whatever’s beautiful”. She prefers the summer because it’s uncomfortable wearing so much in the winter.
		Winnie, 23, is a writer. She likes the retro, vintage look. She got her pea coat from Camden Town, London. She prefers summer, as she’d rather freeze than wear an unflattering thick coat in winter.
		Daisy and Jason are 16, and they go to Sha Tin College. They like the punk look, “just coz it’s us.” She likes winter more because her punky boots don’t get so sweaty.
		Ken, 19, is in property. He likes to mix and match, whatever. He’ll spend up to $3,000 to $4,000 a month on clothing.
		Bo Lam, 18 is a student, and works part-time at a convenience store. He digs the “metal fan” look, and Mickey Mouse. He prefers winter because he can layer up.
