Colour Craze: Spice up your cooler layers


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2026/2611/2611_GMHK_AbelZhao.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>Abel Zhao is in the middle of a meeting involving screens, timelines and the quiet intensity of people who traffic in once-in-a-lifetime moments for a living. When the experience innovator extraordinaire is ready to begin our photo shoot, his team is in all-out fan mode for their main man. They cheer him on for particular poses. They demand smiles. Someone suggests a power stance that would make a Formula One podium look shy. Zhao chuckles, equal parts embarrassed and amused that his entire support system is witnessing him try to look like a magazine star while still thinking about logistics.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>His corporate office in Kowloon Tong tells its own story. Awards from the usual suspects line the shelves. Mini airplanes stand ready for take-off on centre tables. Rooms are named after major cities of the world. It is the physical version of what Zhao, CEO and Executive Director of media, entertainment, sports and travel technology group CSTS Enterprises, does for a living: take the complicated, the global and the high-stakes, and make it feel like home.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>CSTS and its subsidiary Connexus Travel – which has deep historical roots as Swire Travel, Hong Kong’s first registered travel agent – scored big this summer as the sole sales agent in Greater China for the FIFA World Cup 2026’s official hospitality programme. It delivered the same feat at the inaugural Madrid Grand Prix in September and will manage hospitality in the China region, Singapore and South Korea for UEFA’s Euro 2028 championship.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">End-to-End Stuff</h3>



<p>Last month saw further expansion of the newly integrated group’s international sports platform through a joint campaign with Borussia Dortmund during the New York stop of the BVB World Street Series. From CSTS’s New York office, the high-flying, high-energy CEO helped oversee Times Square’s transformation into an international hub of street football.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Whether in New York City or Festival Walk, marketing, travel and data meet in the same room at CSTS to deliver seamless end-to-end audience experiences. Booking trends, attendance patterns and post-event engagement feed decisions about inventory, activations and partnerships with tourism authorities.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Working with international IPs like FIFA and F1 requires a clear framework, and Zhao’s is elegant – protecting the global brand’s integrity, localising for the market and executing without drama. Close coordination between rights holders, local partners and operational teams keeps the experience both authentic and culturally resonant.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hospitality Warden</h3>



<p>Luxury sports travel, in his view, is not about the ticket. It is about never having to ask where the car is. He expounds: “Beyond premium seating [at the event], our customers value a seamless, highly personalised experience backed by flexibility. They expect the ability to secure exclusive local experiences, arrange reservations at sought-after restaurants and navigate high-profile events with privacy and ease.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>During the World Cup, itineraries were designed around strategic hub cities, allowing guests and their families to establish a comfortable base while travelling to host cities for matches. Cultural experiences, lifestyle add-ons and seamless transitions were built in. Dedicated CSTS teams were on the ground, absorbing last-minute chaos so customers never have to.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>For every event, the aim of their service is for guests to remember the goals, not the transfers. “We utilise centralised client-profile systems that capture micro-preferences over every touchpoint – from dietary nuances and preferred seating angles at stadiums, to specific vehicle models and ideal room temperatures,” he explains. “By pairing structured data with human intelligence from dedicated account managers, every trip can automatically incorporate clients’ preferences before they ever have to ask.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Well Matched</h3>



<p>Zhao’s educational background spans undergraduate studies in hospitality administration and management in Switzerland and an MBA at Columbia University in New York City. Growing up in Canada gave him early schooling in how sports and travel cross borders. Football was his passion, and as a teenager, he would save every dollar to watch international matches in person. The experience was unforgettable and became the seed of his present business. In a digital world, the moments that cannot be streamed still matter most.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>His career path began in Toronto, where he worked as a Corporate Analyst at Air Canada, before landing in Hong Kong in 2012. He co-founded FreeD Group, a global digital and smart merchandising technology company, in 2016, and joined Connexus as CEO in 2023.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Nowadays, on a weekend with no meetings, he is outdoors with his dogs, chasing quiet rather than the next flight. Corporate high-achievers expect constant motion, but what recharges Zhao is the opposite: fresh air, family and the simple reliability of a dog who does not care about World Cup hospitality packages.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Memories Over Merchandise</h3>



<p>When the conversation turns to modern luxury, Zhao leans forward with the calm of someone who has watched the definition shift in real time. “We are seeing a clear shift in what affluent Chinese travellers value,” he asserts. “They are increasingly seeking unique experiences that create lasting memories and meaningful connections, rather than simply acquiring material goods. Luxury today is less about what you buy and more about what you experience.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In other words, the new status symbol is not another limited-edition anything. It is the story you can tell that no one else can copy. And CSTS Enterprises has made itself the official translator between ‘I want to be there’ and ‘You will not lift a finger’.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Today’s luxury is about frictionless execution, personalisation and emotional value,” he opines. “For high-net-worth travellers, time is often their most valuable asset. Luxury means not having to worry about logistics, gaining seamless access to exclusive experiences, and being fully present in the moments that matter most.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Then he adds the detail that separates the professionals from the pretenders: Chinese travellers want the visas handled, the private transfers timed to the minute, the restaurant that is impossible to book somehow available, and a concierge who already knows the preferred seating angle at the stadium.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Team Players</h3>



<p>Mid-interview, while the crew sets up microphones and lights, Zhao and his staff drift into the most important conversation of the day: lunch. What are we eating when this wraps? The discussion is easy, familiar and completely free of hierarchy. It is the same energy that fills the shoot – support that does not need a title to function. One simple, long-held value shaping his leadership is that no one succeeds alone. He learns daily from the veterans on his team and from partners around the world.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Abel Zhao has built a group that knows how to have your back in the most high-stakes environments on earth. The awards, the city-named rooms, the mini airplanes, the seamless journeys across continents – they all rest on the same foundation: a support system that shows up, stays present, and somehow still finds time to argue about lunch. In the end, the inevitable strength of that team is what transforms complex global operations into moments that feel effortless and deeply personal. That, it turns out, is the real luxury.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Next Generation Arrives Looking Sharper Than Ever</h3>



<p>Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) refines everything that made the previous generation special. The design is slimmer and more refined, comfort is elevated, and the technology sits quietly inside some of Ray-Ban’s most iconic silhouettes: Wayfarer, the all-new Aviator, and the bold geometric cat-eye Zena.</p>



<div style="height:13px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Key upgrades include:</p>



<div style="height:13px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: normal; color: initial;">●</span>&nbsp; A 3K Ultra HD camera for crisp, hands-free capture from your point of view</li>



<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: normal; color: initial;">●</span>&nbsp; A six-array microphone system for clearer voice interactions and calls</li>



<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: normal; color: initial;">●</span>&nbsp; An assignable action button for instant access to Meta AI or your favourite features</li>



<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: normal; color: initial;">●</span>&nbsp; Up to 9 hours of battery life</li>



<li><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: normal; color: initial;">●</span>&nbsp; Flexible temple tips for a more personalized, all-day fit</li>
</ul>



<p>With Meta AI, the glasses become an extension of how you move through the city. Ask what you’re looking at. Get local recommendations on the fly. Translate conversations in real time. Listen and reply to messages. Set reminders. Capture moments without interrupting the moment. All of it hands-free.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">An Icon Takes Flight</h3>



<p>For the first time, the Aviator joins the Ray-Ban Meta family. First designed in 1937 for function, the Aviator evolved into one of the most recognizable symbols of style and self-expression on the planet. Now it carries Meta AI, hands-free capture and immersive audio into a frame that has defined generations of boundary-pushers and cultural icons.</p>



<div style="height:13px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Alongside it, the Wayfarer continues its quiet evolution, while Zena brings a youthful, geometric energy to the collection. Different personalities. Same intelligent core.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>I</strong>ntroducing Ray-Ban Meta Audio</h3>



<p>Not everyone wants a camera. Some just want the purest version of the experience that already defines the category: open-ear audio and Meta AI, delivered in the lightest Ray-Ban Meta frame yet.</p>



<div style="height:13px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>At just 43 grams and with up to 12 hours of battery life, Ray-Ban Meta Audio is built for listening- music, podcasts, calls, Meta AI- all day long without ever taking your phone out of your pocket. It debuts in two archival-inspired silhouettes: Clubmaster and Burbank.</p>



<div style="height:13px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Clubmaster, the browline classic that defined mid-century cool, and Burbank, the distinctive square acetate frame relaunched from the archives, both receive the Meta Audio treatment while keeping every ounce of their original character. Vintage soul. Next-generation intelligence.</p>

Framed for the Future: Ray-Ban Meta puts luxury design and Meta AI in perfect focus

<p>There is a particular moment that happens every afternoon in certain apartments at Double Cove. The sun slips lower over Tolo Harbour, the water turns a soft pewter, and the entire living room seems to inhale. Light pours across pale floors, glances off stone-textured walls, and settles quietly on a long, low sofa. No heavy drapes fight it. No ornate mouldings interrupt it. Just clean lines, open space, and that endless, shifting blue.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">This is the quiet signature of Viz Design Limited.</h3>



<p>In a city that rarely stops shouting, the Hong Kong firm has spent years refining a different kind of luxury inside one of Ma On Shan’s most sought-after waterfront developments. Their work at Double Cove does not announce itself with gold leaf or dramatic statements. Instead, it practices something rarer: understated luxury that feels both effortless and deeply considered. Comfort, elegance, practicality, and a light touch of playfulness sit in easy balance. The result is a home that does not compete with the view; it frames it, protects it, and lets it become the daily companion of everyone who lives there.</p>

<p>Walk through one of these residences and the first thing you notice is what is missing. Unnecessary decoration has been edited away. Living and dining areas flow into each other in generous, well-proportioned volumes. Walls are kept light, surfaces calm. The architecture of the apartments already offers broad windows and elevated sightlines across the water; Viz Design simply refuses to obstruct them. Daylight becomes a design material in its own right, changing the mood of the rooms from morning silver to late-afternoon gold. Evenings arrive softly. The space never feels theatrical; it feels generous.</p>

<p>Materials are chosen with the same restraint. Stone-textured walls bring a subtle tactile richness without heaviness. Soft neutrals and carefully graded tones create depth while remaining luminous. High-quality finishes appear throughout, yet nothing shouts. There is no flash of ostentation, only the quiet confidence of surfaces that will age gracefully and feel good under the hand year after year. The overall atmosphere is refined rather than opulent, the kind of luxury that reveals itself slowly, the longer you live with it.</p>

<p>Perhaps the most practical expression of this philosophy lies in the storage. In dense urban living, clutter is the enemy of calm. Viz Design answers with extensive built-in solutions that disappear into the architecture. Wardrobes, cabinets, and utility spaces are planned at scale and integrated so completely that the rooms remain open and unburdened. Everyday needs are met without visual noise or the sense that storage is stealing precious square footage. The home stays orderly almost by design, freeing its occupants to enjoy the light and the view rather than manage their belongings.</p>

<p>What emerges is more than a well-finished interior. It is a daily experience of ease. Morning coffee can be taken with the harbour stretching out beyond the glass. Children can play in spaces that feel both protective and expansive. Guests settle in without the slight tension that sometimes accompanies overly formal rooms. The apartments manage to feel sophisticated and genuinely livable at the same time; a rare combination in high-end residential design.</p>

<p>Double Cove already offers rare advantages: waterfront location, generous proportions, and that constant dialogue with the sea. Viz Design’s contribution is to amplify those advantages rather than compete with them. By stripping away the superfluous, selecting materials that whisper rather than declare, and solving practical needs with invisible intelligence, the firm has created homes that feel like a private retreat within a large-scale development.</p>

<p>For those who have grown weary of interiors that try too hard, these residences offer a different invitation. Come home to light. Come home to quiet confidence. Come home to a version of luxury that does not demand attention but steadily earns affection. In the apartments shaped by Viz Design at Double Cove, the sea is always present, the rooms always breathe, and everyday life acquires a rare and lasting elegance.</p>

<p>In the heart of Tai Wai, something luminous is rising. At THE WAI, a new health-focused destination called Meet Met Met has opened its doors, not merely as a place to eat, but as a living constellation where lives cross, linger, and reconnect.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The name itself holds a quiet poetry. Meet Met Met echoes the endless cycle of human connection: the first meeting, the familiar reunion, the promise of another encounter waiting just beyond the horizon. It positions itself as a reliable home base for the social moments that matter: casual catch-ups, intentional conversations, or simply the comfort of shared space. Its guiding metaphor, “Star Orbit,” casts each of us as a star traveling a unique trajectory. Paths diverge, then intersect. Meet Met Met is the luminous crossroads where those intersections glow brightest.</p>

<p>Crossing the threshold feels like entering orbit. Planetary motifs and soft celestial lighting wrap the entrance in an immersive glow, dissolving the boundary between street and sanctuary. Inside, the counter becomes the gravitational center: painstakingly mapped starry ceiling tiles sparkle overhead, drawing the eye upward and inviting pause. Around them, botanical details, forget-me-nots, whisper a gentle message of remembrance. In a city that moves fast, these small blooms ask us to hold onto the people and moments that shape us.</p>

<p>The aesthetic is deliberate and modern: cool minimalist concrete tempered by living greenery, creating a thoughtful balance of strength and softness. Indoor and outdoor dining options open the space to natural light and the rhythm of the neighbourhood, turning every table into a vantage point for both conversation and quiet observation. Health-conscious diners will find nourishment that respects the body without sacrificing pleasure, while Aigens mobile ordering keeps the experience seamless: order, sit, and simply be present.</p>

<p>Meet Met Met does more than serve food. It celebrates the beauty of connecting lives. Here, design, intention, and hospitality converge to remind us that no trajectory is truly solitary. Every shared meal becomes a brief alignment of stars. And as you leave, the space leaves you with one lasting thought: every goodbye at Meet Met Met is only the soft prelude to another hello waiting just beyond the next orbit.</p>

<p>Constantin Brâncuși’s modernist masterpiece sculpture, <em>Danaïde</em>, recorded a historic gain at Christie’s New York earlier this year. Selling for an astounding US$107.6 million (HK$843.7 million), the gleaming gilded bronze head became the second most expensive sculpture ever sold at auction.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Executed around 1913, the Romanian sculptor’s avant-garde treasure represents a turning point in modern art history. Nodding to the Greek myth of King Danaus’s spouse-slaying daughters, it was modelled after Margit Pogany, then a Hungarian art student who served as his muse. Brâncuși expertly stripped away superfluous anatomical details to reduce the human face into a sleek, stylised and geometric oval form, featuring sweeping arced eyes. The gold-leaf finish beautifully accentuates the smooth contours, reflecting light to create an ethereal, highly spiritual atmosphere.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>Danaïde</em> serves as a brilliant testament to Brâncuși’s pioneering vision of capturing the essential spirit of an object rather than its literal shape. This landmark transaction illustrates how 20th-century sculpture continues to drive intense demand from the world’s wealthiest fine-art collectors.</p>

<p>Sir Thomas Lawrence’s 1821 Portrait of Arthur Wellesley, <em>1st Duke of Wellington</em>, established a new auction benchmark for depictions of the British military hero when it went under the hammer at Christie’s in London this summer. The record-breaking price of £9.7 million (HK$102.6 million) underscores not only the legacy of Britain’s leading portrait painter of the early 19th century but also an unfailing modern desire for old masters.</p>

<p>Painted some five years after Wellington triumphed over Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo, this majestic oil painting bypasses standard battlefield grandiosity. Instead of wearing a heavy dress uniform, glittering medals or dramatic regalia, the Iron Duke is portrayed intimately in civilian attire. The artist utilised chiaroscuro lighting to focus attention onto the subject’s face, whose sharp, classical profile and piercing gaze capture both a profound sense of stoic leadership and a rare, quiet vulnerability.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The portrait was originally owned by his close friend Charles Arbuthnot, the uncle of Hong Kong civil servant George Arbuthnot, for whom Arbuthnot Road is named.</p>

<p>Hans Memling’s exquisite Northern Renaissance devotional panel, <em>The Virgin Mary Nursing the Christ Child</em>, comfortably achieved its pre-sale target at Sotheby’s Old Master auction in London. Changing hands for £3.5 million (HK$37.1 million), the tiny treasure surpassed the previous record for the revered German-Flemish artist’s work set more than a decade ago by <em>Christ Blessing</em>.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This intimate tondo painting in oil and gold on oak was created in the late 15th century in Bruges, where Memling was one of the leading artists and wealthiest citizens. It is celebrated for its tender emotional execution and enduring spiritual atmosphere. The Nursing Madonna (Virgo Lactans) is a powerful theological motif emphasising Christ’s true humanity.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Works of this quality painted more than 500 years ago are rare arrivals on the auction circuit. Remarkably preserved through the centuries in private European collections, the fragile wood panel demonstrates Memling’s signature technical mastery. His fluid use of translucent oil glazes creates a brilliant luminous quality, highlighting the soft features of the Virgin Mary and the radiant skin of the infant Jesus.</p>

<p>One of the largest and most anatomically complete of its species to be unearthed, ‘Gus’ the Tyrannosaurus rex hit the headlines at Sotheby’s New York this summer, going for an astounding US$50.1 million (HK$392.9 million). This monumental apex predator fossil shattered previous paleontology records to become the most expensive dinosaur skeleton ever sold at auction.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Gus was discovered within the fossil-rich Badlands of South Dakota and is named after the cattle rancher whose land he occupied for some 67 million years. This incredibly rare prehistoric specimen stands at an imposing 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) tall and stretches 11.6 metres (38 feet) in length.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Remarkably, Gus weighs in with a total of 183 exceptionally well-preserved original bone elements, making him 75-80 per cent complete in terms of bone mass. He is topped, though, by a T-rex called Sue, found in 1990 and boasting a bulk of more than 90 per cent. There has been a massive surge in global demand for world-class natural-history collectables in recent years, and Gus’s multi-million-dollar price tag underlines how museum-grade dinosaur fossils continue to capture the imagination.</p>

<p>Come for the boats. Stay for everything else.</p>


Sea. Land. Sky with LYC: Something special is happening on Lantau this November.


<p>For millennia, the ruby has held an undisputed position as the king of gemstones. While rings and necklaces offer magnificent landscapes to embed these treasures, ruby earrings represent the zenith of high-jewellery artistry. Earrings exist in a state of constant motion, framing the face, capturing shifting light, and demanding a flawless balance between physical weight and structural equilibrium.</p>



<p>When jewellery design shifts from delicate accent to sumptuous composition defined by substantial gemstone carat, intricate metal framework and complex gem-setting techniques, it transcends everyday luxury. It becomes a collectable asset, a legacy artefact, and a masterpiece of wearable sculpture.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Colour Story</h3>



<p>The value, character and visual impact of ruby earrings are dictated first and foremost by colour. Unlike other gemstones where clarity or cut uniformity might take precedence, with rubies, colour is absolute. The evaluation of ruby colour relies on the three core pillars of hue, tone and saturation. However, in the realm of high jewellery, these technical metrics translate into distinct aesthetic personas.</p>



<p>The absolute gold standard in ruby ornamentation is the legendary pigeon’s blood designation. Historically sourced from the ancient mines of Mogok in Myanmar, this colour profile is characterised by a vibrant, pure red with a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of blue or violet modifier. Often associated with rubies sourced from Mozambique, Thailand or Cambodia, the royal red colour category features a darker, more saturated red with a slight brownish or dark blue undertone.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Glowing Praise</h3>



<p>What elevates pigeon’s blood ruby earrings to astronomical investment heights is strong fluorescence. True Burmese rubies contain high amounts of chromium and low amounts of iron. When exposed to natural daylight, the ultraviolet rays cause the chromium to glow from within, effectively making the gemstone look like burning coal. Ensconced within a chandelier or multi-tiered drop design, this internal illumination creates a mesmerising effect, ensuring the earrings command attention across a crowded ballroom.</p>



<p>Royal red rubies possess a lower fluorescence compared to their Burmese counterparts due to higher iron content. However, what they lack in neon glow, they make up for in profound structural richness and crystal clarity. They look exceptionally majestic in solid designs where deep shadows and sharp facet lines are required. When set in large clusters or emerald cuts, royal red rubies project an aura of unshakeable permanence and power.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Heated Discussion</h3>



<p>When considering value in ruby earrings, it is impossible to separate colour from treatment status. More than 95 percent of rubies on the global market undergo high-temperature heat treatment to dissolve naturally occurring rutile silk inclusions and artificially enhance colour saturation. Heat treatment dramatically separates a fashion piece from an investment asset.</p>



<p>Finding high-carat stones that achieved their vivid colour completely naturally is extraordinarily rare, and matching large rubies in terms of exact hue, tone and unheated status for a pair of earrings requires years of careful curation by a master gem hunter. The value difference scales exponentially as the size of the stone increases. A single, natural, unheated ruby above three carats is a geological anomaly. A perfectly matched pair of unheated rubies exceeding five carats each represents an apex asset class, routinely setting records at auction houses.</p>



<p>Conversely, heat treatment allows gem cutters to work with larger rough stones that would otherwise look muddy or dull, transforming the crystal into a vibrant, clear canvas. It unlocks the scale required for weighty, continuous set designs like chandeliers, cluster drops and statement invisible set hoops. It allows for larger cuts at a fraction of the cost, making massive visual proportions attainable for avant-garde designs.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Red &amp; Gold</h3>



<p>The choice of metal alloy for ruby earrings is not merely an aesthetic preference; it is a structural and optical calculation that influences how the colour quality of the stone is perceived by the human eye. The warm yellow light reflected from the metal alloy naturally blends into the ruby&#8217;s crystal structure.</p>



<p>Yellow-gold ruby earrings convey an unmistakable sense of heritage, opulence and traditional wealth. For thousands of years, kings and emperors wore rubies set exclusively in heavy, high-carat yellow gold. It is the metal profile preferred by contemporary collectors who view their jewellery through the lens of history, light and unyielding value. These precious wearable investments seamlessly fuse geological rarity with masterful craftsmanship.</p>


Ruby Riches: Gemstones from the lodes of Myanmar are most mesmerising when dressing the earlobes


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content.bak/uploads/2026/2610/2610_GMHK_JoanneZhou.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>We arrive at Joanne Zhou and Eric Fong’s new flat in Bel-Air on a bright morning that smells of fresh paint and possibility. Perched on a stool while a makeup artist dabs and blends, Zhou is already talking about the slogan that sits at the heart of everything she does: “Better for You, Better for the Planet.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>It is not so much a marketing line as a personal thesis. And the woman delivering it, half-made-up and fully present, is the founder and CEO of in lieu, Asia’s first premium sustainable lifestyle water, which arrives on the shelves in neat aluminium cans. She is also living proof that a kid who once hated drinking water can grow up to make the rest of us fall in love with it.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Liquid Gold</h3>



<p>That distaste for tap water is one of Zhou’s strongest childhood memories. “We were a pretty typical family that boiled tap water at home and for some reason, whenever I drank it, I felt nauseous,” she recalls. “I always thought it had this strange medicinal taste.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Young Joanne gravitated towards mango juice, iced tea and all those little cartons with straws that taste like liquid childhood. But the sugar eventually caught up with her, inducing weight gain, teenage hormonal chaos, and the kind of bullying that leaves marks long after the words stop. Looking back, she sees the irony with perfect clarity. The girl who couldn’t stand water now owns a water company.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Zhou’s mother was the architect of her values. A busy working woman who still found time to prepare home-cooked meals fresh from the market every day. She saved the water from washing rice to feed the plants and turned leftover watermelon rind and aloe vera into homemade face masks. “She never called it ‘wellness’ or ‘sustainability’,” reminisces Zhou fondly. “It was simply about taking care of yourself, your family, and not wasting what you have.”</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-747x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-92722" width="560" height="768" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-747x1024.jpg 747w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-204x280.jpg 204w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-768x1053.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-1121x1536.jpg 1121w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-1494x2048.jpg 1494w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-200x274.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-800x1096.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_0726-copy_edit-scaled.jpg 1868w" sizes="(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Natural Start</h3>



<p>in lieu, founded in 2024 under the banner of HydroX Group Limited, is not Zhou’s first startup. Her ideas have always circled the same question: how do I make people’s lives slightly better? The deeper she went with her clever canned concept, the clearer it became that the traditional water industry was ripe for a gentle revolution.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The first spark was personal. The family owns an artesian aquifer in China’s Dabie Mountains. The closest taste she could find on the market was Fiji Water, but the plastic bottles made her wince. Why couldn’t there be an Asian premium option packaged sustainably? That question became the brand.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Clean water, insists Zhou, is shockingly rare even in a city like Hong Kong. While renovating their kitchen, the couple stared at old rusted pipes and suddenly felt the full weight of everything that happens to water before it reaches a glass. “The best water starts with a clean, protected natural source, as untouched by pollution as possible, naturally containing minerals and trace elements, and handled with the highest standards of safety and quality,” she declares. Because truly clean natural water is becoming precious, it carries a responsibility to protect the environments that produce it.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Water Fail</h3>



<p>While many people have stopped drinking water altogether, replacing it with convenience-store bottles of highly processed drinks is not a solution. The in lieu mission is to make water desirable again: good-tasting and good-feeling. She would love to hear more people say, with actual pride, “I drink only water.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Her simplest tip for the chronically dehydrated: make it a morning ritual. The moment you wake up, your body has been dry for hours. Start with two to four glasses of lukewarm water and pair the rest with breakfast.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Zhou’s personal wellness routine is almost aggressively simple. Seven hours of sleep. Packed lunches and dinners during the week, with more creative meals on the weekend. Strength training, cardio, and breathwork when needed, and a stubbornly positive mindset. The office culture has shifted accordingly – less milk tea and the house rule that pantry snacks cannot be breakfast. Leadership, she believes, happens in the small habits you normalise every day.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Special Source</h3>



<p>The toughest challenge in product development was discovering that less is harder than more. Most lines are designed to add things, not leave them out. “If the source is right, it shouldn’t require heavy engineering or unnecessary additives,” she says. So the team innovated their own techniques. That same philosophy now guides every new product: start with great natural ingredients and interfere as little as possible.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Launching as a lifestyle brand in Hong Kong’s luxury venues required the same obsession with detail. True luxury, Zhou believes, is caring about every millimetre: the product, the taste, the experience and the packaging. Hospitality partners ran fingers around lids, checking for sharp edges. Early supporters tasted the water, understood the values, and opened their doors.</p>

<p>For in lieu, luxury and purpose are not opposites. Sustainable packaging, carefully sourced water, recycling partnerships, electric vehicles in certain cities – these are not afterthoughts. “We’re not perfect, but we’re trying to make better choices step by step without compromising the quality, design and experience expected from a premium product,” she affirms.</p>

<p>As for the future of HydroX Group, she keeps most of it under wraps with a mischievous smile. But she will say this: in lieu natural sparkling water is about to launch, and it tastes so good she is genuinely excited.</p>

<p>Fong, in lieu’s co-founder and the quiet engine behind its operation, is everywhere during the shoot: adjusting props of their product, offering encouragement, occasionally just watching with the silent pride of a man who knows exactly how rare this particular combination of vision and execution is. “Wow… what a lady boss,” he murmurs at one point. Then, as his wife turns for another frame: “It’s giving Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber. Oh wow!”</p>

<p>Zhou laughs and immediately states that she is not a “girly girl”. She prefers baggy, loose athleisure over dresses. Colleagues are routinely shocked by her energy levels; friends already have a running joke. “My friends tease me that I can be the Asian Hailey Bieber. Joanne Bieber!” she cries, dissolving into laughter. Fong joins her and the entire room follows.</p>

<p>When the photographer asks her to fake a laugh for a few frames, the fake laugh lasts approximately 1.7 seconds before it becomes the real thing – loud, unselfconscious, completely contagious. Like her product, Zhou is natural through and through.</p>

<p>By the time we pack up, the new flat still smells like beginnings, and she is still laughing, in that real, unforced way that makes everyone else forget they were supposed to be professional. The same instinct that once made her reject boiled water now drives her to protect the sources that still run clean. The same values her mother practised without ever naming them now shape a brand marketed for our benefit.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Indeed, Joanne Zhou is doing something quietly radical. She is making water cool again. And if her laugh is any indication, the rest of us are invited to join her; glass raised, the planet slightly better for it.</p>
