Fairy-tale settings
Hair accessories label Alexandre Zouari has drawn inspiration from fairy tales such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty for its spring-summer collection. From the Noble Beauty line, the leather hairband (above left; HK$5,480) features soft nappa leather woven into a simple, crown-like shape embellished with crystals and multifaceted stones. Leather also features on the bow barrettes (top; HK$3,990) and butterfly bands (above right; HK$2,260), with crystal-covered motifs. Alexandre Zouari is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 3152 2213.
Biker chic
Burberry has consulted the archives to present a modern collection, with biker style undertones. Modern, edgy looks are accented with bright colours and animal prints. We love the short black leather studded biker jacket (HK$49,000) and animal-print georgette dress in avocado green with leather detail (both far right; HK$23,000). In a nod to another Burberry classic, we also like the cotton twill fitted trench (HK$37,000), with studded sleeves, and lime python corset belt (both right; HK$7,700). Burberry is in Alexandra House, Central, tel: 2868 3511.
Giles styles
Since Giles' debut collection, in 2004, fashionistas the world over have had high expectations of Giles Deacon, who was named British Fashion Designer of the Year in 2006. This season, his collection is more mature yet fun and colourful. We like the playful polka-dot print used in a structured waistcoat (right; HK$13,900) and the fitted floor-length dress with hibiscus and eyeball print (above right; HK$22,000), which reveals the designer's trademark humour. Giles is available at Harvey Nichols, The Landmark, Central, tel: 3695 3388.
