We chat with\u00a0local fashion designer Sarah Lai behind Sarah Lai Label about her Romance Reborn series and to see what made her fall in love with fashion.<\/p>\n<h3>Hi Sarah. Thanks for sitting down with us. What made you start the brand Sarah Lai Label?<\/h3>\n<p>Hong Kong clothes are getting so expensive. You either go to Zara, where you end up wearing the same clothes as your colleagues, or you find something unique but really expensive. So I wanted to create something that\u2019s designer but also more affordable, something niche, cool and chic that stays in your wardrobe, season after season. I established the brand as my side project in 2014 after a lot of reading and researching.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_212332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212332\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-212332 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-dress1-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Lai Sarah Lai Label fashion designer Hong Kong Romance Reborn dress\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-dress1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-dress1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-dress1.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-212332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Frances Dress is one of the most popular pieces from Sarah Lai Label<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>So you weren\u2019t always been in the fashion and design field, when did that change?<\/h3>\n<p>I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I went to local schools in Hong Kong and then studied in the States for five years. I actually started my career at a financial institution in private banking. After doing that for eight years, I felt like my learning curve was a bit flat. I wanted to do something more. Even though I have other hobbies, I have always loved fashion the most. I read so much about fashion, and I also shop quite a lot!\u00a0<em>(laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I would lead the trends in the office, and I realised fashion and design was my passion. So I used my annual leave to go to Central Saint Martins, London to take short courses to learn more about how to set up a fashion brand.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it difficult to juggle between a full-time job and a growing designer brand?<\/h3>\n<p>It actually takes up more time than I expected. And a lot is about reading, finding the right people to help you, and knowing what to delegate. I think it took a lot of courage and bravery to do that. Looking back, knowing all the challenges and hiccups I\u2019ve encountered, I probably wouldn\u2019t have the courage to do it again. But I&#8217;ve never regretted it. I\u2019ve learnt so much which nobody will ever be able to teach me. Lots of things are doable, it\u2019s just a matter of passion, determination and how much you want it, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_212334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212334\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-212334 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-crush-velvet1-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Lai Sarah Lai Label fashion designer Hong Kong Romance Reborn crush velvet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-crush-velvet1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-crush-velvet1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-crush-velvet1.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-212334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah believes that velvet is coming back in a big way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What\u2019s the essence of Sarah Lai Label?<\/h3>\n<p>It would be modern, timeless and elegant. That\u2019s the essence. In terms of modern, the pieces are made for modern women; timeless, I hope each piece can last in a wardrobe for a long time; elegant&#8230; it\u2019s me and my brand. I wear my designs very often, so often that everyone knows! <em>(laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Where do you get your inspiration for your designs?<\/h3>\n<p>I think a lot of my inspiration come from my daily life, what\u2019s around me. For example, my apartment faces the sea, I often see the waves, hence the ruffles on my designs. Sometimes, I stare at the sea but I\u2019m thinking about something else. It\u2019s the repulse of the water that kind of links me to ruffles. I\u2019m also a romantic person who is interested in romantic art, so romantic ideas have always been in my designs.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is the typical design process for a new series?<\/h3>\n<p>It usually takes me around six to eight months to design a new series from scratch. I want design well instead of following the fashion seasons and doing something that is subpar. Nowadays, most customers don\u2019t really care about seasons. It\u2019s a marketing thing that the fashion world created so people will chase after it. People will buy off-season products as long as it fits them well.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_212335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212335\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-212335 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-series-one1-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Lai Sarah Lai Label fashion designer Hong Kong Romance Reborn series one\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-series-one1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-series-one1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/01\/Sarah-Lai-Sarah-Lai-Label-Hong-Kong-fashion-designer-Romance-Reborn-series-one1.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-212335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Series one of Romance Reborn is crafted from 100% cotton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Can you tell me more about your new Romance Reborn series?<\/h3>\n<p>For series one of Romance Reborn, they\u2019re all 100% cotton; they\u2019re cute and perfect for a date, and I\u2019ve incorporated more ruffles making them more romantic. Some of the names are guys\u2019 names, such as The Dixie Blouse and The Charles Blouse, as I followed some features from men&#8217;s wear. For series two, it\u2019s mostly velvet. They\u2019re elegant, great for formal occasions but also very versatile.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you think you will be a full-time fashion designer one day?<\/h3>\n<p>Hong Kong\u2019s fashion landscape is very competitive because of the real estate. It takes longer to really branch out. But at the same time my finance career side is also going pretty well for me, and I\u2019m actually really enjoying it too. For now, I don\u2019t think I need to choose.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shop\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sarahlai.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sarah Lai Label<\/a>\u00a0online.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Honeycombers Hong Kong, we always keep an eye on the latest fashion and beauty trends, such as Korean makeup, intergalactic nails and the most beautiful lingerie in the city.
