Vanessa Chew

Vanessa Chew shares her obsession with white and fashion items she can't live without including her Chanel Makeup set, Louis Vuitton Epi Leather handbag and Cartier watch.

Minimalist and evergreen are the words to use to describe Vanessa Chew’s style. The director of a boutique public relations and events agency often gravitates towards items in certain colours whenever she goes shopping. “Items in white are my ‘kryptonite’,” laughs Vanessa.

She calls her mother Iris Chew as her role model in fashion. “She is always elegant, and she favours chic, simple designs. I admired her style growing up and I think I take after her,” she says.

Her closet consists of mostly chic office wear, such as pencil skirts, slacks and heels. She often totes her Louis Vuitton Black Epi leather handbag, which she loves for its versatility and storing space. On her off days, she opts for sundresses when she goes out, preferably in bright colours.

In her wardrobe, the one dress that she enjoys wearing is her Nessa dress by LuveLuxe. Her close friend who designs for the brand created the dress with Vanessa as the muse and inspiration. “I am so honoured and humbled to have such a beautiful dress in my name,” she says.

She frequently emphasises on her doll-like, Oriental features with natural makeup, nude lips and strong eyes. Therefore, she turns to her Chanel Travel makeup set when she needs to freshen her look in between social events and business meetings. Always on her wrist, we learn, is her Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch. “It is a gift from my parents as a reward when I completed my MBA,” says this bubbly beauty.

While she keeps her dressing ‘simple and classy’ at all times, she jazzes up her looks when needed by putting on bold and dramatic accessories. “I believe in looking sharp and pairing my attire with a positive attitude,” says this charming beauty.
