High gear
The beaded Tribute Starfish heel (below; HK$10,990) from Yves Saint Laurent is great if you're looking to work this season's nautical trend. For those who prefer colour blocks, there's the stunning black vinyl and red poppy suede stiletto pump (right; HK$6,450). Yves Saint Laurent is in Alexandra House, Central, tel: 2868 0092.
Hot to tote
Longchamp has partnered with one of the hottest designers on the London circuit, Mary Katrantzou, for a capsule collection of bags featuring her signature vivid prints. We love the Oriental lanterns and motifs on one tote (right; HK$4,220) and the vivid interiors and sky backdrop of another (far right; HK$4,600). Longchamp is at 8 Queen's Road Central, tel: 2523 6121.
Sleeve notes
Avant garde designer Rick Owens has been championing his dark, futuristic aesthetic for years, so it may come as a surprise to learn he hails from sunny California. Popular with local hipsters, he mentors the likes of Gareth Pugh and this season gives us several statement jackets to drool over. We love the simplicity of the round-shouldered, tied slim grey jacket with contrast sleeves (above right; HK$13,700). The black-and-grey jacket with wide, structured sleeves (above left; HK$16,900) is a winner, too. Rick Owens is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2530 0882.
