Recently, Janet Chow married Timmy Hung, becoming a wife like good friend Toby Leung. Although they each have their other halves, they are still close friends that can talk about anything. So close, they can even talk about tips on wearing lingerie. It turns out, when the two were young, they both experienced buying the wrong bra. Lately, they had the opportunity to meet the lingerie brand Bubies' creative director Nick Chau and clicked well with him as soon as the lingerie discussion started. Toby and Janet had the honor to design their very own lingerie collection called Romance by JT.

Janet and Toby came up with the concept of their bra designs by searching among the Hong Kong ladies for the 'world's best bra'. The styles include bras especially used for evening and wedding dresses. Toby said: "In fact, many people in their early 20s are still choosing the wrong bras. I hope to help them find the right bra." Janet said: "A good bra is hard to find, one that is fitting and comfortable cannot easily be found. I will design a good bra based on my own personal experiences."

Together, Janet and Toby had very good teamwork skills, and would each wear their own designed bras for the other to 'enjoy'. They mutually judged and gave advice on how to improve their products. Janet expressed: "Design can be imaginative, but the most important is how it feels when wearing it. We would wear the bras ourselves for the other to look at, and get opinions."

Collaborating in designing the bras, usually the two would exchange styles and ideas. When asked if there were any arguments between them? Toby expressed: "Nope, although we do have different views, but we really are too familiar and can just speak our minds. We can talk about anything, so we never had any arguments. I thought I was a very laid back person, but Janet is even more laid back than I am, so sometimes I have to play the bad guy." Janet said: "I have to learn how to say No too."
