editor’s letter
H
ope you all had a wonderful CNY and welcome back if you’ve been travelling. March is a great month to debut as an editor as there’s so many events happening throughout this month, it will be exciting to watch it all unfold. In this month’s issue – Clifton Leung’s new project in Repulse Bay is worth a read as you can find tips to incorporate into your own home. Our interview with fashion designer Laura Egloff will make you realise Hong Kong is a dynamic city where you can dare to dream, and think beyond your limited space. Speaking of dreams, pop into our Big Day Out and enjoy the ride. Just a few minutes away from the city you can tailor your journey on a two wheeler for some fun and adventure. And don’t forget to swing by one of your favourite beaches for the Beach 5’s this March. Loads of activities planned throughout the weekend of the 17th. Finally, I wish you all a warm and sunny March!
