Home is a place that has taken on major significance in Wu’s life—something that the globe-trotting fashion entrepreneur (whose most recent venture is Altava, a virtual fashion platform) did not expect. Part of it was due to the housebound lifestyle brought about by the pandemic, but more importantly, it was parenthood that triggered this paradigm shift. “We moved here three years ago. Before, I was just on the plane every other week—Singapore, Shanghai, London, Paris. We were in an apartment, for convenience. It was very nice, but it never felt like home,” shares Wu, who is in her 30s. “No one was ever there, the fridge was always empty, I never even touched the huge, beautiful pool. Before I had kids, I always associated home life with a boring life—I didn’t even care what plates we ate off. My mother would buy us nice plates and porcelain ware and things like that, but I was like, that’s not me.”
