Sugar and spice
Inspired by a garden party, D&G's latest collection is bright and colourful, to say the least. Flower prints feature heavily as does red and white check. For spring, we love the baggy floral shorts (HK$3,600), with a thin straw and leather belt (HK$1,100), and, like most girls who still hold a soft spot for Disney princesses, the Snow White tee is also a winner (all far right; HK$1,100). For something a little more elegant, the sweet musk-pink floral camisole (HK$3,100) and loose-fitting white lace shorts (both right; HK$3,000) are standouts. D&G is at Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2956 0833.
Street chic
We've always been a big fan of Diesel and its spring-summer collection did not let us down. We love the harem trousers-inspired dark indigo jeans (far right; HK$1,600), with a dropped crotch, tapered ankles and drawstring waist. The loose, off-the-shoulder top (HK$2,400), with flowers and leaves printed on multicoloured fabric, is another highlight. Wear it with the cute denim cut-off shorts (both right; HK$1,200). Diesel is at 6 Kingston Street, Causeway Bay, tel: 2895 1592.
Get a grip
Anya Hindmarch's latest collection features a wide range of cute clutches and small bags. Our favourites include the small, bright-pink leather draw-string drop bag (top left; HK$4,890), with gold details; the white perforated-leather mini hand- bag (centre left; HK$8,290), featuring gold buckles and clasp; and the multicoloured straw clutch with white leather tassels (bottom left; HK$4,100). Anya Hindmarch is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 3693 4133.
Simple pleasures
Bally has kept detailing to an absolute minimum for the label's spring-summer line. Colour is used sparingly and there's not a print or pattern in sight in this sophisticated and clean collection. We adore its take on the leather dress (far left; HK$7,590), with its blocks of tan, yellow and green. We also love the white- and tan-leather combination that features heavily throughout the range. Our pick: the fitted white- and tan-leather jacket (HK$29,990), with double zip detail, and the classic, elegant white V-neck dress (both left; HK$16,990). Bally is in Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2522 6123.
