Your right to shoes There's a reason you can't stop buying shoes: a well-styled pair can shake up an entire look. So the next time your significant other complains, make sure to throw an old pair at him and get yourself something new from the latest collections. We like French brand Carven for its consistently innovative and cheeky offerings, and this season its cow-leather, 1970s-80s disco-infused platform shoe (top; HK$5,995) caught our eye. We also like the knitted wicker pump (above; HK$5,490), an odd creation that looks like a clog from afar but would be great for summer. Carven is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2801 4051.
Romeo returns Last year, Romeo Gigli, the famed Italian designer of yesteryear, collaborated on a collection with local boutique powerhouse Joyce. That collusion continues with a spring-summer 2013 line that has been creating a buzz with its impressive lookbook of painting-like shots featuring a number of fashion celebrities, by photographer Thomas Devaux. A couple of looks stood out for us: fashion editor Tang Shuang's ensemble comprising a multi-mesh plush jacket in paper silk (HK$25,500), tulip bubble skirt in silk (HK$13,500) and one-shoulder tee with lace (all above left; HK$5,500). We're also into fashion blogger Tamu McPherson's get-up of patterned coat (HK$29,900), open-shoulder shirt (HK$5,950) and crochet pencil skirt (all above right; HK$12,500). Romeo Gigli is available at Joyce, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2523 5944.
