Hilary Tsui of Liger boutiques on her passion for fitness and fashion

Marathon runner, designer and co-founder of Hong Kong's Liger boutiques, Hilary Tsui Ho-ying talks about her two passions - fashion and fitness.

"This was the busiest fashion week I have ever had! I was in Paris to run a race as well as for showroom appointments, buying and attending fashion shows. I also took my Oh My God collection there for a trade show."

"We have different kinds of style influences here. Korean is very trendy at the moment and there are lots of people still loyal to Japanese fashion. For me and my store, we still tend to be more European."

"We have to be more careful in choosing brands. Actually, everyone is going through a hard time in retail, especially in the fashion industry. I hope landlords can be more considerate of their tenants when deciding on rents. If that happens, the road will be easier for everyone."

"Quality is important. For example, a friend who founded local label Jourden now has many clients all over the world, including influential stockists like Colette and Barney's. One of the reasons she can attract these international buyers is that she chooses high-quality fabrics."
