TH: Can you tell us a little more about OAOVISION and what it’s all about?
STE WING: OAO VISION is a movement and a lifestyle. Let it be fashion, arts, music... a place for creatives all around the world from all walks of life to come together and network. It is also my hub to showcase my work and services and to meet my clients needs.
TH: How would you define or classify your personal style?
STE WING: I don't really know to be honest, I'm just being myself. I always have done that, never followed a trend. I've just taken inspiration and done my own thing with it.

I'm known for being able to mix classic pieces with current fashion… I've always been told my personality comes out with my style.
TH: What is the one current trend out there that you wish would just go away for good?
STE WING: Trends come with fashion and they come and go its like a vicious circle…ha.
TH: There are a lot of sheep out there in the fashion world but you definitely have a unique look that many may want to copy. What would you say to that person who is wanting to copy a person’s look and style?
STE WING: This is something that I try to push. Yes I get people trying to copy and imitate my style from head to toe in some cases. All I would say is take inspirations, but the bottom line is BE YOURSELF!!!
In this industry people can see straight through it. It's easy to tell the originals from the copies.
TH: What do you consider the most important factor to having a good style?
STE WING: As I said before it's just all about being yourself. This will bring out the real you and personal style.
TH: Besides your phone what is the one item you have to have with you before you walk out of the door every day?
STE WING: I guess it would have to be my silver skull ring from THE GREAT FROG LDN.
