Bodyguards and Assassins is the big winner at last night’s 29th Hong Kong Film Awards. Congratulations to all the winners! Of course, Fash-E is more interested in the red carpet “hits” and “misses”. I try not to blog about the “misses” since they are not worth the ‘space’. I wish I had more information about the outfits on the red carpet. Here are some of my favourites (with some misses in between – guess!) from last night’s red carpet:

My vote for Best Dressed Female: Lynn Xiong

Winner for Best Supporting Actor, Nicholas Tse in Bottega Veneta.

Treasure Hunting in Hong Kong: Antique Street (Hollywood Road)

Published on March 23, 2010 in Hong Kong and Travel. 0 Comments Tags: Antique Street, Hollywood Road, Hong Kong.

Hello from HK! I’m back in one of my favourite cities for the HK International Film & Television Market (Filmart) 2010. It’s work-related. We had some free time yesterday and it was my first time exploring Hollywood Road (also known as Antique Street). If you’re seeking for treasures, this is where you should be if you’re in Hong Kong. I didn’t buy anything but I was truly fascinated by the volume of treasures (or pure crap) you can find on this street. Here are some snapshots of the items for sale:

Spotted: Asian Style Icon, Isabella Leong

I first spotted Isabella Leong in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (bad movie, don’t even bother) and I can’t help but think, “OMG, this girl is hot”. Later on, I realised she has acted in several HK films such as Spider Lilies, Missing and etc. Then again, I hardly catch Asian films – and I’ve never seen any of her films. Thank you, Hollywood. Now, she’s following Zhang Ziyi‘s footsteps as Mummy 3 is her first foray in Tinseltown. I’ve to say, she has impeccable style as seen on the red carpet. So, keep a look out for Isabella, because I think she’s going to be BIG:
