1. Adrian Wong X Doris Wong: The Trivial Sublime
Two artists take the meaning of life and the act of caring for yourself and others as starting points for their joint exhibition at SC Gallery in Wong Chuk Hang, on Hong Kong Island.
Doris Wong Wai-yin , an art historian and multimedia artist, is showing work created through 'Pastel Nagomi Art' – a type of healing art that forces slow, focused creation to relax and de-stress. Her works make references to art history and explore themes of motherhood and nurture.
Meanwhile, Adrian Wong combines his deadpan humour with the stress of juggling multiple roles as father, professor and artist in his works, which are inspired by his interactions with his children.

Superman's Rachel Brosnahan channels Lois Lane's looks IRL, taking ‘method dressing' to the next level with Miu Miu, Thom Browne, Lacoste, and a custom Patou dress inspired by her character
When James Gunn's new Superman hit theatres, all eyes were on supporting character Lois Lane, the investigative reporter played by Rachel Brosnahan. Brosnahan made waves on the film's press tour by fully embracing the style of her comic book character, turning heads with a series of looks that combine classic journalistic business wear with fresh, modern twists.

Pictures via AP Advertisement The Emmy Award-winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress described Lois Lane as 'the closest to myself I've ever played'. With styling help from Alexandra Mandelkorn, Brosnahan's wardrobe channels Lois' signature blend of professionalism and confidence – from tailored suits with corset detailing to preppy minidresses featuring bold colours and playful accents. Here's a look at Rachel Brosnahan's fashion masterclass during the new Superman press run. Rachel Brosnahan wearing Coach.

She wore a sleeveless caramel-brown plaid waistcoat with wide-legged trousers in the same colour, creating an effortless, uncluttered silhouette. Completing the outfit, Brosnahan carried a large, structured brown leather Coach Kisslock Frame handbag adorned with plush and carrot-shaped charms. She also wore white pointed-toe shoes that provided a sharp contrast to the earthy tones of her suit.

Anna Wintour steps down as US Vogue editor
Anna Wintour steps down as US Vogue editor Anna Wintour has been head of editorial content Vogue US for 37 years. File photo: Reuters Magazine legend Anna Wintour stepped down as editor of US Vogue on Thursday after 37 years during which she was often hailed as the single most influential figure in the fashion world. Wintour, 75, was famous for making Vogue's front covers an authoritative statement on contemporary fashion, and for her total control over the glamorous pages inside. She will no longer run day-to-day editing of the fashion bible, but magazine group owner Conde Nast was quick to scotch suggestions of retirement. She will continue to hold senior roles at the group and remain Vogue's global editorial director. British-born Wintour came to public renown as the inspiration for "The Devil Wears Prada," a hit 2003 novel and 2006 movie, for which Meryl Streep earned an Oscar nomination for her role as tyrannical magazine editor Miranda Priestly. Wintour announced at a staff meeting in New York that US Vogue would seek a new head of editorial content. In remarks reported by the New York Times, she called it "a "pivotal decision" but stressed she would not be moving out of her office. "I'll be turning all my attention to global leadership and working with our team of brilliant editors around the world." Wintour was made a British dame in 2017 and in February this year became a companion of honour – an elite recognition. Wintour, who was raised in the UK by a British father and an American mother, reigned over Vogue in the heyday of glossy magazines. US Vogue was a staid title when she took it over in 1988 and transformed it into a powerhouse that set trends – and often make or break designers, celebrities and brands. She took the title to a global audience, with huge budgets to spend on models, design, photographs and journalism funded by lavish advertisements and high subscription rates. Vogue remains fashion's flagship magazine but, like many print publications, has struggled to adapt to the digital era. Known to some as "Nuclear Wintour" for her decisive leadership, such as axing work without discussion, she was also a fixture in the front row at catwalk shows with her unchanging bob haircut. Joe Biden awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the top US honour, before leaving office in January. As Conde Nast's chief content officer, she will continue to oversee publications including Vogue, Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, Conde Nast Traveler and Glamour. For many years, Wintour declined to comment on "The Devil Wears Prada," which was written by one of her former assistants, Lauren Weisberger. But when it was turned into a musical and opened in London in 2024, she told the BBC that it was "for the audience and for the people I work with to decide if there are any similarities between me and Miranda Priestly." Explaining her sunglasses, she told the outlet that "they help me see and they help me not see. They help me be seen and not be seen. They are a prop, I would say." (AFP)

How mosaics capture moments of Hong Kong history
Many years ago, artist Adrian Wong Ho-yin was astonished to discover a lazy trick used by many Hong Kong contractors. He was walking down an alley in Tsim Sha Tsui, not far from Chungking Mansions , when he noticed a wall clad in mosaic tiles bulging from water damage. He looked more closely and realised that there were at least six or seven types of tiles layered atop each other. 'It felt like I was standing in the present and looking through a wormhole into the past,' he says. He soon discovered that layering tiles in this way is a common short cut used when renovating old shops, flats or building facades to save on cost and time. His observations turned into a fascination for Hong Kong's ubiquitous mosaic tiles. Designs, he noticed, were often mismatched or seemingly random. Tiling Error V: Shuriken (2024) by Adrian Wong, part of 'Oi! Spotlight: With Love from Hong Kong'. Photo: courtesy Oil Street Art Space 'I got really interested in mistakes made by craftsmen and contractors,' he says. 'I found a lot of beauty in this accidental collision of patterns and colours.' Wong's attraction to tiles shapes his artistic output. His show, 'With Love from Hong Kong', running until August 31 at the Oil Street Art Space in North Point, recreates vintage Hong Kong interiors, including 1960s-style mosaic tile patterns framed like paintings on the wall. Each pattern is slightly off kilter, like so many of the mosaic tiles you see in the stairwells of old tenement buildings, on the facades of mid-century tong lau or in old cha chaan teng such as the renowned Mido Cafe in Yau Ma Tei. 'Laziness plus a couple of generations becomes charm,' quips Wong. That charm seems to be especially strong these days. Hong Kong has been riding a wave of nostalgia for anything that harks back to its golden days as a booming Asian Tiger economy with a cultural reach that could be felt around the world. There is renewed interest in historic shops , and even new businesses are using vintage objects and throwback design elements to create a sense of yesteryear. Mosaic tiles, such as those used in Kowloon Cafe, in Sydney , Australia, are often key to creating a truly nostalgic Hong Kong space.
