Elegant, sophisticated and beautiful, Ming Ho-Tang is Hong Kong's most stylish woman of 2018
She’s just flown in from a truffle-hunting trip in Italy and is about to head off to some bucket-list destinations, including Brazil and Bora Bora. So what is Ming Ho-Tang looking forward to most? “Six days in Antarctica where there’s no Wi-Fi so no one can reach me.”
That should be no surprise. A player in the finance industry, having worked at HSBC Private Equity Management, Ming is now the director of corporate development at Li & Fung — a role she executes with aplomb in 5-inch Christian Louboutin stilettos, no less — and her phone is constantly abuzz.
Given that her wardrobe spans three rooms of her home and she boasts a range of covetable collectibles, from rare Judith Leiber clutches to a Chanel handbag signed by Karl Lagerfeld, it’s surprising she didn’t consider a career in fashion. “I’ve always been the logical, mathematical type,” Ming explains. “My undergraduate degree was in industrial engineering from Stanford University. I never thought I was good at styling. I doubt I’d be good at dressing someone else. I just wear what makes me feel good. I’d rather do the fun part and consume fashion than work in it anyway.”
