Nicole Richie's House of Harlow mixes the celebrity's love of retro styling with a rock edge. The brand's range of jewellery has won ardent fans but we also rate the hard-cased clutches that come in a mixture of textures, including black snakeskin with gold studs (right; HK$3,300). House of Harlow is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, tel: 2118 2288.

Long last

With many brands embracing this season's revival of the full-length gown, Pucci has stuck with its signature patterns and unusual cuts to create a line of figure-hugging dresses, such as the striking aquamarine gown with beaded arm detail and waist and shoulder cut-outs (far left; HK$33,140) and the perfectly Pucci patterned dress (left; HK$31,910). Pucci is in Pacific Place, tel: 2918 4698.

Sheer bravado

Olivier Theyskens is a master of both easy clothing and beautifully tailored, ephemeral pieces. His autumn-winter collection for Theyskens' Theory is luxurious and utterly wearable. The light sheer tunics would be the perfect addition to any winter wardrobe. The silk overlay tunic in black (far left; HK$5,900) would look good over a dark swimsuit or under a dress while the vintage monochrome print tunic (left; HK$8,300) would not be out of place by the pool or on a dinner date. Theyskens' Theory is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2118 2288.
