About this blog

Hello, my name is Sam Lever and I am 19 and currently on a placement working as a model for Mission Model Management in Hong Kong. The placement is for 2/3 months and during this time I thought it would be a good idea to capture my experiences and stories in this blog, and to also comment on my perspective of the place. I have always been fascinated by the similarities and differences of different cultures and I think the region of Hong Kong is especially interesting because of the mix of traditional chinese heritage and European colonial history that has shaped such an intriguing region. I am also interested in the issue of how Hong Kong copes with a population density of over 18000 people per square mile and the strains that this puts on services such as transport. Finally I want to see how this region has adapted from under capitalist colonial rule to communist rule and whether the change has made any noticeable difference. I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

Crazy Asian Fashion

This is just a brief insight into why I am actually here in Hong Kong... Modelling. I have discovered that the fashion industry here is very different. The Asian fashion market is very different to the European market, the Asian people aren't afraid to be really bold and stand out from the crowd. This means designs are very creative and unique. An example of this is the shoot that I did today, where the clothes were definitely... unique.
Yes I did fall over in those shoes... flat on my face. It hurt.

It's safe to say I look absolutely ridiculous here.
