Hong_Kong_Tatler_September_2017

With 40 years of pictures to rummage through, it was a hard ask, but

Kimberly Hu was up to the task. To mark our ruby anniversary,

she selected a series of fun photographs from the archives and asked

their subjects to help us recreate them. Here’s a photographic

wander down memory lane—with a modern Tatler twist

NOW & THEN

LINDA & ISABELLA TING

2017 / 2004

The last time 13-year-old Isabella did a professional photo shoot

was for her Hong Kong Tatler debut as a cute little 10-month-old on

the November 2004 cover. “This is the first time I’ve ever worn fake

eyelashes,” she giggles as she smiles for the cameras in the Tatler studio.

“The original picture was taken in our home. That table in the photo is

long gone now,” says Linda. Grown-up Isabella channels her mother’s

vibe beautifully, with the duo both in gorgeous Diane von Furstenberg

dresses. “I was in a yellow DVF gown in the original shot and definitely

wouldn’t want Isabella to be naked in this shot,” jokes Linda.
