At Chuang's Consortium, the Hong Kong property and hospitality empire, style runs in the family. Executive directors Candy and Edwin Chuang—the latter of whom is also its deputy managing director—have mastered something many siblings, not to mention friends or business partners, struggle with: honest fashion feedback without the drama.

Their sartorial education began at home. Their mother, Karen, collected couture like other people collect books, and her wardrobe became an early masterclass. Their father Alan's devotion to Ming dynasty ceramics offered another lesson entirely—that “beauty lives in both tradition and reinvention”, Candy says, adding that, between them, their parents showed “how a single extraordinary piece could whisper volumes, proving that true style isn't about excess but about the quiet confidence to let your essence shine”. The lesson was clear: “Fashion, at its core, is simply the art of being wholly yourself.”
