Hypebeast Street Snaps in Hong Kong

Adrianne Ho photographed in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong for Hypebeast Hong Kong.

“I love to come back to Hong Kong to visit family and friends. My dad is from Hong Kong and I used to visit often while growing up. No matter how much time has passed, being here always feels like coming home.
It’s amazing to experience the city and how it has evolved. The beautiful balance of city and nature is something I really enjoy, from hiking The Peak to running along the coast of Repulse Bay beach. Indulging in the authentic and local cuisine from my childhood like milk tea and breakfast toast to dim sum and clay pot rice is a real highlight. 
Whatever city I travel to I always like to check out the local boutiques as well. Del store is a super cool kind of iykyk spot I really love. The owner Derrick is super knowledgeable and has a great curation of speciality pieces. He also has a crazy collection of DVDs and Blue Rays. I picked up this new Nantucket red Kapital hoodie that I love to wear in the city and nature.” – Adrianne Ho

At Home Dining on Domenico’s Of Beverly Hills

After a hard workout I want something fast, nourishing and high quality. The simple speciality products from Domenico’s of Beverly Hills are a fresh and easy way to crave the appetite. From pestos to tapenades, they have a wide offering of farmers market delights. One of my favorites is their fresh pasta, especially the bucatini, which is very hard to find fresh. Mixed with all-natural organic turkey meatballs and D.O.P. certified San Marzano tomatoes you have a perfect macro balance of carbs and protein that taste out of this world. I like to top mine with a little D.O.P. Pecorino cheese imported by Epicurus Gourmet Market from Sardinia, a beautiful splash of California based Séka Hills extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil from my friend Edwin’s backyard farm in South Pasadena. In Los Angeles you can find Domenico’s at amazing small businesses like McCall’s Meat & Fish Co in Los Feliz and other fine retailers. But now you can thankfully order their exceptional products online.” – Adrianne Ho

KORRES Black Pine Anti Wrinkle & Firming Serum

SweatTheStyle_Korres_BlackPineFirmingSerumThere’s something extra cool about a skin care product with some science behind it! Korres Black Pine Face Serum is an “anti-wrinkle, firming and lifting” formulation, which is suitable for all skin types. Its ‘USP’ ingredient is black pine polyphenol, which has been found to increase the skin’s firmness, enhance contours and decrease the appearance of wrinkles.

This serum is 93.7% natural, and does not contain parabens or silicones. Active ingredients include hyaluronic acid (which moisturizes and hydrates), soy fibers (which boost collagen levels in the skin and restore smoothness) and oat polysaccharides (which lift the skin and act against muscle relaxation).

Korres Face serum feels great on the skin! It moisturizes enough to wear alone and it’s suitable for all skin types. Adding this to your nightly ritual is a major plus! A few drops will leave you feeling moisturized with glowing skin as you wake up in the morning with any visible lines fading away. You will quickly fall in love with this serum and the way it makes your skin feel!

Adrianne Ho Summer Feature With H&M

cq5dam-2.web.1920.1280You know those healthy-lifestyle-Instagrammers who only make you feel bad? The ones who make you secretly wish they would choke on their chia pudding? Model and fitness fashion entrepreneur Adrianne Ho is not one of them. She actually manages to promote an active lifestyle in a way that only makes you feel inspired. Inspired to sweat, inspired to eat yummy food, inspired to wear all the coolest streetwear styles.
JUNB1-16-GIF-Adrienne-HoFounder of sweatthestyle.com, a website and brand dedicated to ”natural beauty and positive health,” Adrianne Ho is now expanding her brand into television – she is currently filming season one of Sweat the City, where she interviews leaders in the food/fitness/fashion community. We asked Adrianne to join our cast of smart, inspiring girls and model our favourite swimwear for summer.cq5dam-1.web.1920.1280

What does being fit mean to you?
Being fit is when you find that balance when you eat food that you love, which tastes good and is the best quality possible so that you nurture yourself – and when you find an activity that you love. Being fit is about living a life that you enjoy. Your goal should be to have fun, feel active or get better at something instead of working out just to lose five pounds – because that is the worst feeling in the world.

Was it hard to stay body positive when you started modeling?
It was, in the beginning, for sure. In the industry they really measure the inches around your waist, your hips… it is a lot about genetics. So it’s difficult. But lately I find that with social media, with Sweat The Style, I can put out images of myself that represent who I am, more than just the measurements on my comp card.

Social media is such a great opportunity for people to get their voice out there. Ten years ago you had to jump through all these hoops that the industry created. Now you can create your own brand, make your personality shine through.cq5dam-3.web.1920.1280When do you feel the most beautiful?
After a workout. I am sweating, the endorphins are kicking in, and I am really proud of accomplishing what I wanted for the past hour.

What do you love most about your body?
What’s cool is how much your body is capable of. You don’t realize how far you can push yourself, and then you’re like – ‘wow, I can really do all these things!’ Or how your body can heal really fast, build muscle or just adapt to whatever you put it through.

How do you want to feel when you put your swimsuit on?
I just want to feel confident. Having to try on bathing suits is always a little bit nerve-racking. The best feeling is when you don’t even think about being in a bathing suit, you’re just in the moment, having fun.

What’s your favorite summer memory?
I grew up in Toronto, and it’s usually so cold. So when summer comes, everyone goes out, celebrating. I remember just being so happy that I could finally wear shorts. So just that – riding my bike around the city in Toronto.
