High profileBehind Creative Recreation is one of those loveable fashion stories of two designers at a mega-brand deciding to take a risk and strike out on their own. In this case we have Robert Nand and Richard Cofinco, two ex-Vans shoe designers who felt trainers were ready to go upmarket and took the plunge in 2002. More than 10 years later, Creative Recreation's bold designs have gained a cult following in the premium trainer world and it's not hard to see why with the Cesario X high-tops in daring pony hair (right; HK$2,450) and hard-to-miss metallic copper leather hi-tops (below; HK,250). Creative Recreation is available at 3NITY, Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2730 3669.

A head for hatsAlmost everybody looks good in the one-size-fits-all equaliser that is the baseball cap, but other hats, well, you either suit them or you don't. If you're one of those chosen few blessed with the perfect head shape, we recommend looking through Ted Baker's hat collection, where you will find a rather nifty red flat cap (above; HK$450) and super-hip trilby (top; HK$600). Ted Baker is in Pacific Place, tel: 2918 9609.
