5 questions with … Henry Golding

Henry Golding is not just a hot guy who cooks. Besides whipping up a storm in the kitchen, Golding is passionate about photography and videography, splurging on a spiffy Canon Mach 3 recently. Fresh from his move from Kuala Lumpur, the FLY Entertainment artiste spilled the deets on his fashion sensibility.

What do you tend to lean towards when it comes to style?

Henry Golding: Clean-cut and minimalist. Nothing too branded and definitely fitted as I've got quite a slim frame. I like my clean colours, pastels and plain white tees. I'm very classic that way, but for suits, I love big lapels, super fitted. I think for a guy, a suit is the spearhead of fashion so a well-fitted suit is priceless.

What is it that makes an outfit perfect?

I think it's the attention to details, like a little splash of colour here and a little accessory. For a guy, it would be a good watch. It always stands out.

Why a watch?

I don't know if it's a guy thing but a guy always looks at a man's watch first and it's kind of a judge of character. So, invest in a good watch!

What has been your best investment so far? The watch you're wearing now, perhaps?

This one's my favourite. It's a limited edition Cartier Pasha. I got this from the marketing director at Cartier as I wanted to invest in a timepiece after my second travel show in Kuala Lumpur. It represents a lot for me and I think it's beautiful.

What attracted you to this particular time piece?

It's unique. There were only two in Malaysia and both got bought - one by a friend of mine and the other by myself. She so happened to lose hers and I had dinner with her the other day and she couldn't stop staring at mine. I think it's simple, classic, stylish and it goes with everything.
