A rosy picture We love the dark, sensual 3D floral prints from Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy this season. The man knows a thing or two about creating iconic items while keeping things edgy. You can't go wrong with the rose scarf (bottom; HK,790), or the darker, more varied bouquet version (below; HK$2,090). Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2118 3388.
