By any other name

Rosettes and roses are the must-have details for this season and Alexandre de Paris has imbued a series of hair accessories with the romantic flower theme. Hairpins, brooches and hair bands are sculpted in soft nappa leather and suede. Some petals are individually wired to keep the rose in a bud or to let it blossom. The accessories come in various colours such as purple, green, pink, brown, beige and black, while some pieces are adorned with Swarovski crystals for an extra shimmer. The rosette hair pin (below) costs $2,200 and is available at Alexandre de Paris, The Landmark, Central, tel: 2869 0787.
