Branching out
American label Joan & David (Elements, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2196 8298) doesn't just focus on shoes. The brand's ready-to-wear collection is becoming increasingly chic and trend driven. For autumn, it has released a range of beautiful dresses, including a lightweight mohair shift dress (HK$3,200) with a sac back, a la Balenciaga. Details such as accordion pleats also transform a simple black dress into a fashion-worthy frock (left; HK$3,600).
Style statement
French label Kookai has been a favourite with women who want to create a stylish Parisian look without forking out a fortune. For autumn, look for chic staples such as a grey and black cowl-neck babydoll top (above; HK$1,380) that will match perfectly with a pair of skinny black jeans. Available at Kookai, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2921 2082.
Cultural mix
To celebrate its 10th anniversary in Hong Kong, jewellery brand Folli Follie (IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2295 0028) has released a limited-edition bangle and watch set (right; HK$5,115) that combines elements of Chinese and Greek cultures. The watch features three dials layered on top of each other to produce a geometric look while the bangle has a pattern based on antique Chinese windows. The items are made from acetate in black or white with finishes in white or rose gold.
