“HONG KONG HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PEARL OF THE ORIENT TO ME. NEON SIGNS AND JEWELLERY AND GOLD SHOPS WERE MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HONG KONG – THEY REMIND ME OF A BUSTLING ERA BACK IN THE EIGHTIES. WHEN I WAS SEVEN, I USED TO SEE MY MOTHER WORKING BUSILY AT HER JEWELLERY SHOP, TALKING WITH CUSTOMERS WHO WERE ALMOST LIKE FRIENDS TO HER. THE JOYCE X MELITTA BAUMEISTER CAPSULE COLLECTION TAKES ME BACK TO THAT GLAMOROUS TIME. ALTHOUGH FEWER PEOPLE GO TO JEWELLERY SHOPS TO BUY FINE GOODS TODAY, I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT – WHICH I THINK LENDS ITSELF TO THE ENERGETIC, URBAN ESSENCE OF NEW YORK-BASED LABEL MELITTA BAUMEISTER, TOO. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND TREASURE WHAT WE HAVE TODAY.”
