This week, we’re joined by fashion editor Rosie Lai (@rosielai), whose career has taken her from Hong Kong to New York, Paris and London. Rosie opens up about moving between East and West, how cultural shifts shaped her identity, and why multi-hyphenate roles are the future of fashion. She shares her take on the industry, advice for emerging designers, and how the pandemic changed the way we connect. Rosie also reveals her go-to outfit formula (which we are totally stealing!), styling tips for when you’re always on the move, and why language and aesthetics sit at the core of everything she does. With credits in Tatler, Glamour, FT and Marie Claire, Rosie’s perspective is thoughtful, chic and refreshingly real, and as her friends this one feels as personal as it does insightful.
