Veronica splits her time between London, New York and Hong Kong— and her ascent as a power player on the global stage could be attributed to her following in her father Silas Chou’s footsteps. Silas, the billionaire textile and fashion tycoon, was an early investor in US fashion brands Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, and helped take both businesses public.

 

Veronica successfully sold her business, Iconix China, which introduced various US fashion brands like Badgley Mischka and Candie’s to Mainland China. Her focus is now on Karl Lagerfeld, the eponymous label of the late Chanel creative director, and she’s also invested in various fashion-focused startups.
