ON THE COVER
Jumpsuit by Sonia Rykiel; heels by

bracelets by Piagethen she rushed into the studio for this month’s cover shoot,
Sabrina Fung-Lam had her trainer, Anson Cha, in tow, as they’d
just come from a workout. What serendipity. Anson was able to
advise Sabrina on executing the athletic poses we had her doing for
photographer Wing Shya and our good friend Sean Lee-Davies, who
was on set with his company, Awethentic Studio, to shoot Hong Kong Tatler’s first
augmented reality (AR) cover—a fitting way to catch the fitness fanatic in action and
to kick-start, literally, our 40th anniversary issue.
Sabrina threw herself into the moves, swinging from ropes, jumping over bars,
dipping and performing all sorts of contortions for the camera like a natural-born
athlete. Spoiler alert: she even wishes us a happy birthday in the AR video. Be sure to
download the free Awethentic app from the Apple App Store and scan the cover to
catch the full story.
Our cover star loved the looks we chose for her, from Sonia Rykiel and Christian
Dior, as well as swimwear by Eres and Vilebrequin—all of which looked perfect
on her toned silhouette. It was a long day—we started at 11am and finished past
10pm—but Sabrina was an extremely good sport throughout the shoot, with energy
aplenty and a great sense of laidback fun. Her husband and kids popped by near
the end of the day and marvelled at her striking stances. “You look like Wonder
Woman,” said one of her children. Once Sabrina had left the set, we plugged Anson
for fitness tips so we could look like Sabrina. One can dream, right?
