FROM HONG KONG TO LONDON
Terms and Conditions Magazine celebrated their 2nd Issue “Embracing Culture” by hosting their launch party followed by an inspirational panel talk at the Ember Locke Hotel in London, Kensington.
To celebrate the launch of their second issue, “Embracing Culture”, Terms and Conditions Magazine hosted a vibrant event at the Ember Locke Hotel in Kensington. The launch party included a thought-provoking panel discussion on mental health as well as an inspiring mini fashion catwalk show where the elegant silk brand Anaphe and the Hong Kong-based streetwear brand Playground showcased their unique designs in action.
PANEL TALK DISCUSSION
In honour of Mental Health Awareness month, the panel talk invited wellness experts from London to discuss the significance of mental health. Moderated by Leanne Blu, founder of Podcast Blu Journal, the panel featured Terms and Conditions Magazine Editor in Chief Kat Tse, Actor Paul Low-Hang, and Generational Trauma Healing Expert Minal Bhanshali. In this discussion, the panellists dived into deep conversations on stress, culture and support systems in an attempt to encourage and destigmatize open dialogues on mental health. With the mutual exchange of enriching personal stories, the panel addressed the many misconceptions of mental health, stressing the importance of kindness and gratitude in confronting both internal and external conflict.
At the end of the panel talk, the audience also interacted extensively with the panel, engaging in an intriguing Q&A session and participating in a positive mental health exercise where they were asked to answer the question: “What are 3 things that bring joy to your life?” The goal of this exercise was to help reinforce a positive mental health mindset.
The panellists were also gifted with beautifully arranged floral decorations by Floral in a Box, a Toronto-based brand that collaborated with us on this event.
FASHION CATWALK
Following the panel talk, our London launch event also featured a mini fashion catwalk show, highlighting the creativity of independent brands and designers. “Anaphe” by Katy presented their collection of the perfect day to night capsule wardrobe, spotlighting their iconic silk slip dresses in blue and white. “Playground by Calvin” unveiled their upcoming collection, “No Better Time,” captivating the audience with its innovative designs. Whilst the designer of Anaphe was not present, Terms and Conditions was fortunate to welcome the designer of Playground, Calvin, who delivered a brief yet impactful speech after the show as concluded, underscoring the inspirations and complexity of both collections.
