LuisaViaRoma had the chance to catch up with Yvonne Ching in the beautiful Italian town of Fiesole. We spoke about fashion, and she shared her summer style tips with us.
Authenticity with Yvonne
LVR: You have a lot of fans on Weibo and Instagram. What is it about your content that you think attracts them most?
Yvonne Ching: I think maybe I share some really authentic moments. Everyone’s life is very fast, so if you can share some joyful moments in your life with fans, I think they will be infected with your happiness and optimism.
LVR: You look so wonderful and refreshed! Do you have any secrets for recovering from jet lag quickly?
Yvonne Ching: Drink coffee, do a face mask, and go shopping. After shopping, I usually feel refreshed immediately. So, I think it’s very important to give myself a little shopping time when I’m working and traveling long-distance.
Play with geometrical fashion in the summer
LVR: You often share your daily looks with fans. Do you have any go-to styles for the summer?
Yvonne Ching: I think that in summer we can play with shapes and geometry. For example, I am wearing an oversized top with a structured shoulder design. A pair of shorts will match it well, and also make me feel cooler in the hot summer. I think that it forms a nice geometric contrast between the top and the bottom in summer. When you mix-and-match you can have a lot of fun, and develop a lot of interesting looks.
LVR: Can you share your current favorite brands with us?
Yvonne Ching: I have always been very passionate about fashion. Every item in my closet has something about it that I love. In fact, to me, each item I have has its own special meaning. Recently I got some pieces from Attico, R 13 and Isabel Marant. I just finished a street style shoot today with a chic jumpsuit from Isabel Marant. I’m looking forward to sharing photos with you!
Online shopping might be my daily go-to, but in-store shopping is a luxury.
LVR: Do you like online shopping or in-store shopping?
Yvonne Ching: I think that maybe I like both of them. However, because of my work schedules, I often purchase items online. At the same time, I also go to stores to try on different looks and see the products for myself. I really enjoy the experience of shopping in stores.
LVR: Have you ever bought something on the LUISAVIAROMA website? If so, would you like to share what?
Yvonne Ching: So, so many things! Especially clothes from Balmain. I think that the tailoring of Balmain suiting is perfect for women. They are very sexy and cool. I also got some shirts from Jacquemus, including ones with an oversized collar and ones with asymmetric tailoring. After the shoot today, I will go to the LUISAVIAROMA store to pick up some new items from the F/W collections too!

More about the Location:
Set in the hills above Florence with enchanting views over the city, Belmond Villa San Michele is a work of art in itself, with ancient frescos, cutting-edge street art and a faced attributed to Michelangelo.
Housed in a 15th-century monastery with lush Italian gardens, it’s the perfect base from which to explore the city of the Medicis. Board the hotel’s complimentary shuttle, which runs regularly until 22.00 each day, and be in the heart of Florence in just 15 minutes.
