Thanks for featuring me as a trendsetter on your blog, The Wantering!
Below is my interview with The Wantering:
“Globetrotter, model, writer, fashionista. Hong Kong fashion blogger and girl-about-town Elle Lee is all that and more. With roots in Shanghai and London, Elle is a true global fashion trendsetter.
Writing for the likes of fashion magazine Elle China and Jing Daily, the news source for the business of luxury and culture in China, by day, Elle writes for her own blog by night. You’ll find her at the hottest fashion events in Hong Kong, giving style tips to her followers, and modeling the best street style in the city.”
很感謝The Wantering選擇我作為他們喜歡的時尚領導者，進行的這次訪問！
以下就是訪問內容，和大家分享以下。

We had a chance to chat with her about the fashion scene in Asia, who her style icons are, and even got her to spill her secrets!
What are you waiting for? Meet Elle.
You were born in Shanghai, raised in London, and now live in Hong Kong. How has your style been influenced by all of these cities?
As I was born in Shanghai in a traditional Chinese family, I watched my mother and aunties dress up in a very sophisticated and feminine style. They always had the perfect just-out-of salon hair and wore heels; they looked like the classy Shanghai ladies in movies. So my basic style is sophisticated, simple and feminine.
Life in London taught me variety and helped me to keep my mind open to trying different looks.
Hong Kong is Asia’s world city and while it might not be one of the top fashion cities in the world, it sure has its own little runway on the street going on. I’ve met a lot of international people living in Hong Kong and my style has been elevated with such a diversity in culture.
你在上海出生，倫敦長大，現在居住在香港。你覺得你的時尚風格有沒有因為這些城市而改變，或者受到影響？
我出生在上海的一個傳統家庭，我的媽媽、阿姨和外婆都是漂亮的上海女性。她們永遠有著完美的卷髮，並穿著高跟鞋。感覺就和電影里講述的那些精緻上海女人一樣。我耳濡目染，所以我覺得我的內心深處還是非常女性化，非常喜愛精緻的風格的。
生活在倫敦，讓我眼界放寬，認識到世界上有各式各樣的風格。沒有好壞之分，只有適合不適合你。
香港雖然不是世界時尚之都，但在街上也會見到許多打扮新潮的時尚男女。我周圍的朋友很多都是時尚中人，因為他們，我也在不斷的進步。

You blog about international fashion in both English and Mandarin. Is there a difference in the way your English-speaking vs. Mandarin-speaking readers respond to your fashion posts?
Yes, definitely! My English readers usually take the look I created as inspiration and leave encouraging comments to me, while my Chinese readers tend to purchase my look. They want to know where each item can be purchased so that they can recreate my look on themselves again. They are all very sweet!
你中英文的博文，那你覺得你的中文讀者和英文讀者有甚麼不同呢？他們看了你的博文普遍都有甚麼反應？
沒錯，中英文讀者看一樣的博文，反應也是不一樣的。我的中文讀者很喜歡知道我都在穿哪些品牌，這樣方便他們也去購買。而我的英文讀者，更會看了我的搭配再改良成更適合自己的。我很開心的是，我的所有讀者都非常的友善，我很愛他們！

You are a fashion model turned fashion blogger and now write for Elle China, Jing Daily, Style Tips, and Butter Boom. What’s it like on the other side of the camera now?
When you are modeling, you don’t create the style. You wear what the stylists put together for you. But being a fashion blogger, I get to be a model and a writer. So it’s pretty awesome!
What are three secrets about yourself?
1) I eat chocolate every day…every day!
2) I am not a good walker in heels, even I though I always wear them.
3) I don’t like eating rice…even though I am Chinese!
你曾今是時尚模特，現在卻轉身成為了時尚寫手。在攝影機另一頭的感覺如何？
當我是模特的時候，我的服裝造型都是別人選取的。但作為時尚寫手、博主，我可以決定一切。我很喜歡這樣，可以真正的做自己。
告訴我們你的3個祕密吧？
- 我每天都吃巧克力，真的是每天！
- 我其實並不是一個穿高跟鞋的高手，一直會摔跤。
- 我並不喜歡吃飯，儘管我是中國人。

What is your favorite Instagram pic?
I like each one of them because they represent a different mood and were taken during different occasions.
Although, a few weeks ago I took a photo of myself on Instagram wearing some super swag Versace SS13 rings which got liked by G-Dragon of Big Bang (a huge Korean pop band). The likes went off the hook (over 1,330 likes), so that was a lovely surprise!
你最喜歡的Instagram相片是哪張？
我每一張分享的相片，自己都很喜歡。但幾個星期前，我在Instagram上分享了一張我戴著Versace春夏新款戒指的相片。竟然被Big Bang的G-Dragon喜歡了。接著就得到了很多來自他粉絲的喜歡，這還是我第一次有一張相片得到超過1，000個喜歡了。真的讓我又喜又驚。

If you could give one piece of advice to your 14 year-old self, what would it be?
Be brave, and don’t let others stop you from doing what you want to try. People usually tell you that you can’t do things because they can’t do them. It doesn’t mean you can’t do them.
Follow Elle on her fashion adventures on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,Pinterest, Weibo, YouKu, and read her Blog!

如果你可以給14歲的自己一個忠告，你會說甚麼？
勇敢些，不要讓別人阻止你去追求自己的夢想。很多人都會和你說，你做不到，你不能做，這是不行的這些話。那是因為他們做不到，不代表你做不到。
