Tedman Lee

DJ, party thrower, founder of clothing label 'The Private Label' and creative consultant for brands in the HK and China markets, Tedman Lee has his fingers in many pies. Hailing from HK, he describes his city as the epitome of East meets West. “Although the city used to be way more romantic back in the day, it still has the perfect blend of nostalgic-modern juxtaposition. Everything you love about the city is also the reason you hate it.”


Tedman’s favourite neighbourhood is Sham Shui Po. “This is the old side of the city where you can find it all - old markets, street food, record shops, toy shops, electronic goods, fabric, bootleg, etc. It's the most cultured district in Hong Kong in my opinion.”

City tips:
There are things going on all year around, but best to avoid the summer months
“Jeng” (正) = Dope.

Most famous dai pai dong on the island. Good vibes all around, drunk staff, good food, corny but awesome music on blast, all in a wet market...can’t ask for more
