Imagine the warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of the beach and the sounds of the lively city in the background. That's what veteran designer Yong Tiong Tan wants to encapsulate in every piece of his resort wear label, Laguna Sydney. With close to two decades of experience in the industry, Yong tells us the story of how he built his brand by mirroring the spirit of Sydney as a city and the inspirations behind his stunning new collection for Raya. Later, Emma Chong Johnston gives us the low-down of what's in and what's out this Raya season.
