How I Met Your Style

We stopped by the Pedder Red preview in Wong Chuk Hang last week to have a look at their Spring Summer '13 collection and meet the ever stylish GM of Pedder Red, Luisa Fietta. She enthusiastically told us about each of the products and the backstory behind some of the styles in the collection. On one side of the space were sweet pastels, vibrant prints (lemon/fruit print that she sourced in Europe with her designer!) and metallics. The leopard leather sandals are hand-stitched in Italy staying true to Pedder Red's desire to provide value and quality. Out of their special 14-piece capsule Gold collection, the shiny lace-ups stood out next to the pyramids of baby TVs looping the short film campaign. Check out their website to see where you can get your hands on a pair for the upcoming warm weather! Thanks to Davena, Ashley and Gloria at A-Vibe and Luisa for having us!

The Armoury is undoubtedly one of our favorite places to visit in Hong Kong for a peek at the best curation of classic menswear and world-class quality tailoring and craftsmanship, not to mention each person's impeccable style.

It's no wonder Mark Cho was selected as one of the people featured in the inaugural issue of Materialist Magazine . The magazine's intention is very much in line with what we're about here at HIMYS - "to establish a deeper connection with people in fashion by getting to know them through their most influential possessions". We were excited to be commissioned to photograph portraits of the gentlemen at the store.

Issue 00 gives us a look into Mark Cho's most prized objects including Lamy pens, his favorite watches, mice, and his Liverano suits. I love this quote: "When I wear this particular suit, I always think of the conversations I had with Antonio and how he interpreted what he though of me into a garment, which is how every great custom item should be made. Nothing of excellence is ever as simple as a spec sheet and a delivery schedule".
