It also led her to explore another avenue for self-expression: acting. You might recognise her from popular Hong Kong TV series such as Generation Slash, Haters Gonna Stay and Afterlife Firm.

Fluent in Spanish, Cantonese and English, Lo’s multicultural background and multi-hyphenate status lends a lot of different influences to her style.

You’ll see her in tweed, tweed and more tweed!

Featured on the digital cover of Vogue Hong Kong, Lo, 29, talked about attending Paris Fashion Week with Chanel and even toured Coco Chanel’s flat, an experience that she said truly opened her eyes to the heritage house and its rich history. Coco Chanel’s bold personality, commitment to her individuality and “being herself” inspired the model-actress.

Often clad in tweed looks by the fashion house, Lo definitely makes the brand her own with her outfits. Cases in point? The tube dress she wears with boots and the cropped vest with a matching jacket that she styles with jeans – both outfits celebrating her beautiful figure and playful spirit.
