很多show business里的大腕都有自己的服装品牌,也有自己开的饭店和咖啡店。这些时尚界的icon和店老板当然也是business leader哇!比如羽泉的胡桃里,权志龙在济州岛的咖啡店,薛之谦的上上谦火锅店,余文乐的madness,林俊杰的SMG,还有我们冠希哥的CLOT。有人说Edison是一位“已经离开娱乐圈很久却一直活在娱乐头条的帅气男人”,也有人称他为“中国潮牌主理第一人”,他在香港的店铺juice已经成为一个粉丝的旅游胜地。所以,这么有故事的人,雅思口语business leader话题里,不聊聊冠希哥岂不可惜!
I’d like to talk about my idol Edison Chen who used to be a singer and actor. His father is an accomplished businessman, so maybe doing business is in his DNA.
He’s a trendsetter and fashion pioneer. After he retired from show business, he started his own fashion brand called CLOT, which is a streetwear label and lifestyle brand. His aim is to bridge the eastern and western cultural gap. I have to say, he’s quite successful.
What’s amazing about him is that he always adds Chinese elements into his design, for example, he once cooperated with Nike Air Force, and he used white silk as the main theme. The youth are crazy about it. His store JUICE has become one of the famous tourist spots in Hong Kong.
Like I said in the beginning, he’s my idol and role model. He’s not afraid to be himself and he’s a great inspiration for the younger generation. My dream is to set up my own brand as well and his spirit has always been guiding me. I wish I could be someone like him one day.
