The talented and young fashion stylist, Chloe Mak has been invited to our last interview. Chloe shares her journey of starting from a novice in the world of fashion to becoming a truly unique stylist. Also, she has imparted invaluable insights into our latest lookbook. If you share the same dream, this is an exceptional opportunity to gain a global perspective and learn how to achieve your goals by stepping out your comfort zone.

Stepping Out My Comfort Zone

"The transition from 2D to 3D was exciting to me, and I loved the idea of being on the move, attending fashion shows and working with clothes." 

While studying graphic design at Central Saint Martins, Chloe's flatmate who was studying fashion design became a source of inspiration to her, providing an opportunity to explore the world of fashion.

"The fashion industry in the UK also seemed very different and exciting compared to Hong Kong. I started as a fashion assistant and worked my way up to become a stylist." 

"Individuality is a crucial aspect of being a professional stylist, as it is something that comes naturally to us."

Immersed in the vibrant fashion culture of the UK, Chloe found herself inspired to cultivate a fashion sensibility that was uniquely her own.

"Our goal is not just to create something aesthetically pleasing, but also to help our models or clients feel satisfied and discover their true selves."

Through Chloe's immersion in the rich fashion culture of the UK, Chloe has gained valuable insights that have informed her fashion career. She remains true to her personal style and never forgets her original intention of being a stylist - to promote individuality.

"I also enjoy incorporating classic looks by using older items to add a timeless touch. This could complement their personal style and body shape." 

When collaborating with celebrities, Chloe helps them to discover their individuality, rather than simply chasing the latest trends. From her latest work on Instagram (Instagram@chloemakcm), Chloe has incorporated a variety of styles to ensure that they are able to express their own personal style. 

"I choose my favorite and most suitable trends of the season and incorporate them into my work, all while allowing my individuality and creativity to shine through."  

You can see Chloe's styling work on various celebrities including Jay Chow and Edison Chen, and even witness her impeccable sense of style shining on the international stage. Her diverse experiences have given her a broad perspective on the world.   

"The fur trend now in Hong Kong is what I heart a lot as my style is between classy and edgy. But personally, I still prefer genderless pieces and playful cuts.  For example, I believe that styling with a blazer and wide-leg pants never goes wrong."

Chloe loves to experiment with new styles and explore the limitless possibilities of fashion. You can see her latest creation featuring Femance's Calla In Black Croc. Be sure to check out her page for more styling inspiration! (Instagram@chloemakcm).
