As a born and bred Hong Kong-er, Divia Harilela knows all the ins and outs of the city. Throw in thirteen years as a fashion and lifestyle journalist and you know you can count on her to have all the inside information on what's happening around town. After a stint as The South China Morning Post's Fashion Editor, Divia decided to branch out on her own; more specifically, she founded The D-Vine in 2011, which she hopes will become Asia's leading online fashion and lifestyle source. In addition to managing The D-Vine, Divia is also a regular contributor to Vogue China, Jing Daily, Business of Fashion and Surface Asia, among others. Find out what Divia wants this Christmas in Electric sekki's All I Want for Christmas feature below!
