It pays to be curious.
While browsing and making a mental notes of what I liked in Kapok Lifestyle Store in Sun Street, a certain area of the shop slash cafe was being prepped for what looked like a launch.
I approached the lady, who uncannily resembles Armi Millare of Up Dharma Down, arranging the dolls.
This lady turned out to be Fion Ko, illustrator and creator of Le Petit Mumu.
I chatted with her a bit and learned that she just finished an exhibition of her illustrations in Taiwan and went back to Hong Kong, her hometown, to work with a toy manufacturer to create a second run of limited edittion Mumu toys. Instantly I became a fan. She asked me to stay and have cupcakes and tea.
