Judy Hu walks the catwalk

The collection, which centers on the three essential stories of every wardrobe: day, weekend and evening wear, was highlighted by the presence of British-Taiwanese actress Judy Hu Ting-Ting (胡婷婷), who exceptionally walked the catwalk for the occasion.

In an exclusive interview with The China Post, Hu lauded Daks' iconic image of “great cuttings and very classic styles.”

“Everyone should have a few [of these] in their wardrobe,” she said from the outset.

Hu believes that fashion is very much about how you feel and express yourself in one environment and in one's time.

“If you ask me if I feel comfortable in a dress, I would say it might change from time to time, [depending on] which environment I am in. I really like clothes that [give me] a sense of elegance and an edge of sexiness,” she said, adding that this is the way she feels while wearing Daks.

“There is always something very old school and sexy about Daks,” she remarked. “I don't like things too obvious, I like things that suggest a few things. I think that's what sexiness is.”

This statement could well apply to this up-and-coming actress, who is still unknown to most of Taiwanese public.

Hu made her debut performance in Bridget Jones “The Edge of Reason” as Thai Prostitute and obtained the lead role in “Ghosted,” which interweaves mystery and supernatural aspects into a lesbian love story to will be released in Taiwan next month.

“In terms of the whole subject of the story, I didn't have any pressure; I just had a wonderful challenge. I don't think it so when you fall in love with someone, or our lives get connected, it's not much about the labels [we] put on people,” she remarked.

Regardless how we feel about someone's sexual orientation, she points out that she was interested in telling a story that really involved one's decision on love, but remarks that she did have much pressure during filming – she is the daughter of Taichung City mayor Jason Hu and actress Shaw Hsiao-ling.

“No, I didn't have any pressure because of the topic of the film, I just wanted to do the best I can, regardless of the subject matter,” she explained.

“The way the Taiwanese society sees us is more traditional. My parents are extremely liberal. I am extremely liberal,” she elaborated.

“It's my job to be an actor, my job is to choose stories for which I feel passionate. It doesn't mean that it is how I live my life. When I play the part, it's not so much [about] me, it is just what I do, and as an actor you should embrace the part into the story,” she concluded.
