Red alert
Valentino's super-chic summer gowns combine vampish film star glamour with light flowing fabrics. Demure necklines and long sleeves are counterbalanced by sultry colour palettes and racy thigh-high slits. We love the show-stopping red chiffon number (right; HK$75,000) and the intricate yet light detailing in the black and white gown (far right; HK$133,500). Valentino is in The Landmark, tel: 2523 8035.
In the bag
Gucci creative director Frida Giannini has designed an updated version of the best-selling Sukey bag (above; HK$13,500), in partnership with Unicef. With Gucci's trademark diamant? pattern on soft calfskin, the practical, two-strapped day bag comes in a rich shade of chocolate brown that will only getting better with age. Proceeds from sales of the bag go to the charity's Schools for Africa programme. Gucci is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2524 4492.
