Having studied in the United States, Poon frequently finds creative fuel in the interplay between the cultures of East and West. Combining Chinese influences with modern street fashion, his label CLOT is known for reinterpreting everything from traditional Chinese clothes, to tai chi and acupuncture into streetwear designs. His art space, WOAW Gallery, is also a multicultural concept space, often linking up with artists from around the world to showcase their works. “I like the integration of art across cultural boundaries, which is one of the reasons why I love Hong Kong,” says Poon. “For this reason, I’m honoured to be a founding patron of M+, Hong Kong’s new museum of visual culture, where I hope to promote art and culture in all its forms.”

The bogus photocopies of records showed bank payment made to staff accused of leaking information to the national press, mainly the now-defunct News Of The World.
