Star trick A celebrity endorsement means a lot in the cutthroat world of fashion, and Hong Kong in particular is far from immune to the lure of a famous face. Canto-pop star Ella Koon Yun-na was recently photographed wearing these two items from American Vintage and while we'd never rave about a label just because a celeb was caught wearing it, we have to say we're big fans of this brand. The items in question are the cute boubou-style red jacket (above right; HK$1,900) and the light and airy purple top with a pomegranate-flower pattern (above left; HK$900). American Vintage is in Hysan Place, 500 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay, tel: 2375 8038.

Eye catching This season, Givenchy's line of sunglasses has caught our eye. The Wayfarer-esque pair in blue with silver-grey arms (below; HK$2,000) is chic yet subtle. For something a bit more 1970s, the big, bold, olive green pair is a funky stand out (above; HK$1,800). The sunglasses are available at Puyi Optical, Lee Gardens, Causeway Bay, tel: 2890 7070.
