Dear all,

I had a great time at the World Trends Circle More! It was very nice to meet Jeremy Scott. There is an exhibition now at the WTC More now with Jeremy Scott's past collections, go check it out! He really is great at creating different prints and patterns.




I was fixing my hair at home, and I came up with this idea haha. I have these lace gloves and these fake hair balls at home. And I decided to put the hair balls inside the glove and see if I can pin them to my hair, guess what, I DID IT hahahahaha! It was a bit tough because I thought the hair pins would go through the lace glove easily, however, the lace was quite strong, so it took me a while to finish my hair style. I hope you guys will like it ^_^!!

Love always,
Joey

INTERVIEWJOEY MA I . LOVE . FASHION

Joey Ma, has recently emerged as one of the most famous fashion bloggers due to his distinctive unisexual and extravagant style. His unique sensitivity to fashion has been recognized by fashionistas around the globe. Interestingly, his unisex style has not ceased to arouse controversies, there have been contrasting comments over his exaggerating outfits. Yet none of the comments can affect his passion to fashion due to his very own motto: Fashion is an attitude of life, it reflects the most real and personal side of oneself. It is not as abstract as we have thought to be, rather, it happens in our very daily lives.
HOW DO YOU START OFF AS A FASHION BLOGGER?
Joey Ma: I went to the states for studies when I was 20, and I majored in Economics. Back then I had been a big fan of Punk Rock and I already knew that there has always been an inseparable tie between music and fashion. Vivienne Westwood’s work will be the perfect example. Since then I was mesmerized by Vivienne Westwood and started to drown myself into fashion. After graduation in 2008, I got back to Hong Kong and had been helping with family’s business. But my friends know about my passion in fashion and have been encouraging me to upload my outfits and share them onto the internet, hence in 2010, I start off with my very own blog.
HAS THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES IN YOUR CAREER AFTER BECOMING A WELL-KNOWN FASHION BLOGGER?
Joey Ma: Actually I have just been continuing my career like developing and styling my favorite outfits, but it may due to the broadening of connections, now I have more fashion-related job opportunities such as styling and attending public relations events of different brands. I am more than grateful that I am recognized now. Some while ago I got the chance to work with my idol, Miss Carol Cheng (publicly known as DoDo), for magazine cover photo shooting. I knew that it’s been a while since Dodo last took similar jobs and I was so surprised that she accepted the job immediately after knowing I would be her partner. I am definitely flattered and at the same time feel recognized, it was such an honor to work with her.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FASHION? HOW WOULD YOU WEIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF FASHION IN LIFE?
Joey Ma: I think fashion is not as abstract or as far-fetching as people imagine, rather, it is something that is very close to our daily lives. For me, fashion is an attitude towards life. There are people who are casual in both their outfits and way of living. As for me, I take fashion as a huge part of my life. It doesn’t monopolize my life entirely, but I am very particular when it comes to expression of style and life. Moreover, I think clothing style does not necessarily need to be based on hundreds or even thousands of famous brands, nor does it have to be anything trendy. Rather, it’s more important to know how to do different mix & match, this is how you create and add depths to your life and style.
CAN YOU ILLUSTRATE YOUR ART OF CLOTHING? HOW WILL YOU DESCRIBE YOUR OWN STYLE?
Joey Ma: I think it is of utmost importance to make sure you are comfortable with what you are wearing. You have to find outfits that are proportionate and suitable to your body figure. Find something that you can showcase your fortes or hide your flaws. You don’t have to follow every single fashion trend and set a barrier that limits yourself. As for me, I think I will describe my style as extravagant, unisexual and flamboyant. I really like to match vintage items with high-end brands and they will make surprising effects. Recently I am in love with furry items and head piece. Using them as ornaments will create outstanding effects.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLOTHING TIPS FOR THIS COMING FALL?
Joey Ma: Naturally people will go for black and grey outfits in fall and it can be depressing. I suggest people to try something more colorful so that it will create a happier and energetic vibe. Accessories like head piece might help to outstand your own style as well. Moreover, fur items will be a good choice for this season. They are appropriate for either casual or formal occasions and they can add depths into your overall style.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE EMERGING POPULARITY OF BLOG AND SNAPSHOTS?
Joey Ma: I think it definitely poses positive effects to us. Unlike the past when we only had limited channels to express, we can now express our personal style through the internet. Not only can we broaden our horizons, it also sparks off inspirations since we can share and exchange our ideas. I definitely support and recommend people to communicate and exchange ideas through blogs and at the same take more snapshots. It’s time to express more of yourself, to widen your scope and be more accepting to other people’s way of dressing.
EPILOGUE:
A large body built together with his irrefutable extravagance, Joey Ma has never ceased to be the center of attention. Regardless of criticisms, Joey Ma is comfortable in his own skin. I must say he earns my full respect for his perseverance to maintain his own true self and style. It would not be easy for anyone who lacks a genuine passion to fashion. I truly believe Joey Ma will continue his success because I know that success will only go to those who persevere.
The photographer was kept asking me to give mean faces haha.
Both headpieces are from Pier Atkinson, and all clothes are from Tata Christiane. Clutch is from Givenchy. Socks and platform sandals are from Vivienne Westwood.  I have to say, Pier Atkinson, Tata Christiane, Givenchy, and Vivienne Westwood are my all time favorite brands!
Love always,
Joey

push BUTTON X Harvey Nichols Hong Kong




Dear all,

Thanks to Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, I got the chance to meet Mr. Park, designer of Korean fashion label "push BUTTON". Mr. Park has a collaboration with Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, and designs a collection exclusively for Harvey Nichols Hong Kong at the Pacific Place store. The faux fur jacket that I am wearing is from the women collection, and the top and shorts are from the men collection. As you may know, when it comes to clothes, there is no gender at all. Clothes are genderless to me, as long as I can fit in the clothes and feel good about myself, I will just wear them. Thank you so much to Harvey Nichols Hong Kong once again for this opportunity. I am very grateful.

Love always,
Joey

P.S Here is a photo of me with my hair stylist, Bluedy. Ever since back in 2004, he is the only one who cuts and styles my hair. I am just so grateful to have him in my life. I usually style my hair all by myself, only in special occasions, I will ask Bluedy to style my hair. He did my hair this time. I can't believe this is my first time to take a photo with him in 8 years haha! He really is a talented person. And I am so happy to see him doing so well now in his career. Bluedy works in Hair Culture TST shop. Thank you so much again!
