MS: Do you pay special attention to how a single piece of item can impact the overall look/feel?
Kevin: Of course! I think the single most important item that can affect the whole look of a suit is the shirt. Most people thinks that as long as the suit looks good, that's good enough but that is not the case. If a suit looks good on a person depends on the collar of the shirt inside. There are in fact a various type of collar especially in Hong Kong where there are a lot of places where you can get your shirts tailor made. Many of my shirts have its own KC style.

MS: What do you normally wear to such gatherings?
Kevin: I will be extremely casual if it's at one of our homes like jeans but I will usually top it up with a nice jacket. In winter, it will usually be a leather jacket.
