Hats off
Lang lines
Nobody does effortless deconstructivist cool like the folks over at Helmut Lang. The brand's slouchy, cropped drawstring trousers have been sharpened up by slanted pockets (right; HK$1,450). For an immediate figure sculptor, there's the dusty rose jacket with shutter-pleated leather panels on the waist and shoulders (far right; HK$6,400). Helmut Lang is available online at shopbop.com; includes free shipping.
Photo finish
The pre-autumn capsule collection by Jonathan Saunders for Escada Sport is a series of casual luxurious looks evoking the photography of David Bailey from the late 1950s and 60s. Saunders colour blocks two bold shades of teal in this simple silhouette (right; HK$9,300) while the full effect of his large stylised floral pattern is brought out by the long-sleeved column gown (far right; HK$4,800). Escada is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7117.
