Who are you and where are you from?
My name is Tommy Lei, and the Styleteller of MYBELONGING - a high fashion menswear and personal style publication. Hong Kong raised, LA based. I grew up in the urban metropolis of Hong Kong, specifically within the Kowloon area. It was a great place to grow up; being exposed to city life at an early age made it easier for me to adapt to change. And it was quite a change when we immigrated to the United States and had to quickly assimilate to the Southern Californian lifestyle.
Where do you live now?
Although I spent an amazing two years out on the Westside near Century City, I now happily call the Pasadena area home.
