Man With Style: Dylan Chong, Director At Bespoke Tailoring House, Dylan & Son

“I draw inspiration from Cary Grant, Prince Charles, Alain Delon and Giorgio Armani.”  

“My first fashion memory was of myself flipping through tailoring catalogs from the 1960s. I was about 10 then, so I didn’t really know what I was looking at, but I’ve always had an interest in clothes.”

“The item I wear most often is a simple navy suit that I wore for my wedding.”

“My go-to brands are Yohei Fukuda for shoes, 金子眼鏡 for spectacles and Vanda Fine Clothing for ties.”

“My favourite designers are Dries Van Noten and Ralph Lauren.”

“If someone were to play me in a movie, [I would like it to] be Tony Leung. I’ve always felt he projects a similar aura—a little reserved and private; not easily understood. Maybe a tinge of aloofness, not because he’s arrogant, but because putting his arm around strangers while sharing a drink is really not his thing.”

“If my life were a song, it’d be Dan Fogelberg’s ‘Leader of the Band’. I even have a line of the chorus tattooed on myself as a tribute to my dad, who was instrumental in providing the platform on which I launched my career.”
