Anson Lo of Hong Kong boy band Mirror is evolving as an artist. In July, the singer and dancer concluded The Stage, his first solo concert where he thrilled fans with performances of his songs like “Mr Stranger” and English numbers such as “Nice & Slow” by Usher. Then, in August, Lo appeared on the silver screen, playing one of the leads in the thriller It Remains. Further expanding his reach, the popular artist also launched his clothing label Allover in 2023. The brand, whose collections are presented as chapters of a romance novel, is guided by emotions, a direction that perfectly aligns with Lo’s personal style: “...powerful, dedicated and kind”.

Sky Wang has championed Taiwan’s skateboarding scene for almost three decades. The skater has immersed himself in all aspects of the subculture as the owner of 9ce and DTST Skateboard Shop, both of which offer skateboard decks, accessories and clothing, as well as Poolpool Skateboard Club, a private skatepark that also provides lessons to enthusiasts. Of course, Wang also subscribes to the skateboarding aesthetic, from the stickers that adorn skate decks to the sneakers and streetwear he wears while doing a flip. The skater, who revealed in an interview with Tatler that he first picked up fashion notes from his mother, believes that style is an expression of yourself but that it should also evolve and grow.

Jericho Rosales has been acting in movies and TV for nearly two decades, but the entertainer shows no signs of slowing down. Early this year, reports indicated the award-winning actor’s return to the small screen via the upcoming prison drama Sellblock. In June 2023, he followed up the news by posting a photo of himself handcuffed and dressed in prison garb on Instagram with the caption: “I’m just very happy to be acting in front of the camera again”. Rosales is also a musician with several albums under his belt, with his most recent tour in the US and Canada (with Filipino actor Piolo Pascual) in late 2022. The popular figure is noted for his off-duty style: a blend of workwear and streetwear that suits his easygoing personality.

In May 2023, Lionel Leo held his first solo photography exhibition Life Goes On, which featured images from his travels in Singapore, Hong Kong, Cuba, India and more. “I see beauty in everything, from emotionally moving human stories to motivating deeds by unsung heroes that never get recognised,” said the photographer to Tatler. “It’s the authenticity of the ordinary that inspires me.” This point of view is also evident in the way he dresses. Leo (along with wife and style star Tina Tan Leo) is known for elegance, which in his case takes on a rakish quality: leather jackets, long necklaces, a lot of black.
