Hong Kong-born, London-based Robert Wun made history as the first Hong Kong designer to show at Paris Haute Couture Week back in 2023. Since then, his shows have become a hot ticket and a highlight of Paris Fashion Week. Wun’s dramatic gowns, often inspired by horror films, have attracted such A-list fans as Lady Gaga and Lisa from Blackpink. Here, the designer shares his favourite finds from around the world.
What I’m watching

I really enjoyed Dandadan, created by Japanese mangaka Yukinobu Tatsu. I love how modern anime is interpreted, and knowing the story behind the creator’s journey makes it extra special. I’m also looking forward to seeing [supernatural mystery horror film] Weapons in the cinema.
My go-to beauty products

Penhaligon’s Halfeti perfume is essential – one of the looks from my recent couture show was even named after it. I also enjoy Le Labo Rose 31.
Places I love in London

Victoria Park – I love going there with my dog as a break from the city. Koya Soho is my favourite udon place in London, and of course, my London studio – I do enjoy working and am excited to be in my workspace.
My favourite bling

My rings. Most of them are gifts from loved ones.
Where I love to stay

Carlyle & Co. hosted me the last time I was in Hong Kong, and their hospitality was top-notch. It was some of the best service I’ve received in a very long time.
Where I’d love to go next

Greece! I can’t believe I’ve never been. It’s at the top of my list, and I hope to visit within the next year or so.
My style icons

Tilda Swinton and Grace Jones. Both to me symbolise style before fashion, and dressing not to impress but to express. Also, I feel that their integrity and contributions in their fields have led to an incredible bond with the designers they work with – a magical chemistry.
A piece I’m proud of

The Purple Rain Bride from our latest couture show. As the last look I sketched out while we were making the collection, it fills in a very important part of the narrative that was missing and was needed to complete the collection. I knew the moment the sketch was done that this look was the one.
