Find out what it took to pull off some of our most memorable cover shoots
40 years ago, Hong Kong Tatler was founded to cover the life and times of our vibrant society on the shores of the Fragrant Harbour—half of that period under colonial rule, half under Chinese sovereignty.
To kick off celebrations for our 40th anniversary, we reconnected with some former cover stars to get our nostalgia on.
Yenn Wong – May 2007
A vivid memory that stands out from my May 2007 cover shoot was that the stylist had prepared a closetful of very small size dresses. I asked him, “What happens if we can’t fit into such small pieces?” To which he replied, “Well, then, I will not style them.”
I made sure I sucked in every breath I could to fit into all those clothes. I also remember just how hands-on the Tatler team was: Sean Fitzpatrick I think was editor-in-chief at that time and kept flicking the curtains so that Sean Lee-Davies, who was the photographer for the occasion, could capture the perfect shot.
