'I feel like season one was only one or two facets of me — obviously, it's a show about affluence, so it led heavily with me, the jewelry and the clothing — but my life is so much more well-rounded than that.'
), Chiu emerged as the fashion-obsessed haute couture collector, butting heads with socialite Anna Shay. The gang's back together for round two, and the world is completely different. But some things stay the same.
"I think we started around May, but then we had some changes in production members, so we kind of stopped and then restarted," Chiu tells Fashionista. That pause meant some things — and outfits — were left on the cutting room floor: "I threw a '60s-themed beach party, where everyone dressed up. This was back in May of 2021, before my mom passed. I was determined to just live my best life, and bright colors really brighten up my mood. I love anything themed, so I went for it.
"I feel like season one, really, was only one or two facets of me," she says. "Obviously, it's a show about affluence, so it led heavily with me, the jewelry and the clothing. But my life is so much more well-rounded and different than just that — I'm a mom, I'm a business woman, I'm a wife. There are really interesting and heartfelt aspects of my life that I felt were omitted from season one.
In season two, we see Chiu mourning the loss of her mother and working through grief in real time, on camera. Off-screen, the world was still reeling from living through a global pandemic, at that point, for over a year, and from the Black Lives Matter resurgence in 2020 and the increase in anti-Asian crimes in the U.S. "All of those combined did shift my approach to fashion," she says.
