This season, instead of safety pins, it's skull prints on silk and spikes with gemstones, although bad-girl black still reigns supreme.

Everyone from Versace to Louboutin knows romantic punk is about mixing the rough with the smooth - Pedder Red have taken note with its collection of slip-on flats.

Lane Crawford's BLITZ just launched a punk initiative in-store with exclusive products, accessories and a photo exhibition curated by punk guru Chris Sullivan.

Meanwhile, at Zara, Calvin Klein Jeans and Forever 21 the lapelled leather jacket is huge.

Studs are everywhere, but don't get carried away. Soften the look with a floral print or delicate lace. For pretty accessories, we love the spikes and sparkles at Joomi Lim.

We love this leather jacket (above, HK$7,190), button-up shirt (HK$2,590), slit skirt (HK$3,245) and ankle boots (HK$5,190) by French contemporary brand by Sandro.
