WHAT ROLE DOES FASHION PLAY IN YOUR LIVES?

ELC: Weng and I both keep abreast of trends and new arrivals in fashion. However, we are not followers. We pick and choose what suits us best based on factors such as the climate and our physique. We always incorporate our own touch into the looks we choose. I would say that I’m flexible and like to sport different looks. For work, I choose simpler silhouettes — no frills or fussy details — but would inject bright colours such as yellow. Outside of work, I am more adventurous with details such as cut-outs, or louder prints. I have also learnt to do my own hair and make-up in less than 45 minutes.

CKW: I’ve always enjoyed fashion and favoured bold colours. My sense of style has evolved over the years and of course, went through fine-tuning. When I first met Elaine in the 1990s I wore Hawaiian shirts as they were quite trendy (laughs). These days, one way I express myself is via my collection of spectacles. I have more than 50 pairs, all prescription and in a myriad of colours. I had to go for cataract surgery recently, twice in six months, and had to get them all changed. Twice. That was painful.
