Meet Yvonne Chong – better known as Von – one of our next-gen style creators to watch this year. With her effortlessly chic, elegant, and minimalist approach to fashion, Von has built a social media presence around curating looks that feel timeless yet modern.
Now, she joins us for our new fashion series, 5 Ways to Wear, where each personality styles one key item for five different occasions. This series celebrates versatility and creativity, showing how a single piece can be transformed through personal style and perspective.
Leading the debut feature of the series, Von takes on a silky yellow lace top, a standout piece that is both vibrant and lightweight, perfect for the Malaysian weather. Yellow has been a crowd favourite this year, and the lace detail adds a subtle romantic touch to an otherwise minimalist look.
Von says she gets plenty of compliments whenever she wears this yellow lace top, and today she’s showing us five elegant and effortless ways to style it.
For grocery runs
Even on a quick grocery run, Von proves that looking put-together doesn’t have to take much effort. She dresses down the silky yellow lace top with her favourite jeans – a fail-safe combo for casual days. A mini bag and kitten heels pull the look together effortlessly, just enough to keep things chic while running errands.
