Boys' toys: Brionvega WearIt mini-speaker; all eyes on Kenzo's holiday collection
Abid Rahman scouts the racks and shelves for the latest must-haves
Sound effects We are quite taken by the Brionvega WearIt mini-speaker (above left; HK$1,499), designed by the legendary Michael Young studio. It's got all the techy bits you would want from a mini-speaker (24-hour battery, wireless connections, high-fidelity sound) but, for us, it just looks super cool and the speaker sits inside a gorgeous leather carry case (above right) that comes in a number of great colours. Brionvega is available from Amelie & Tulips, 56 Sai Street, Sheung Wan.
While other diffusion lines such as Marc by Marc Jacobs, D&G and Burberry Brit are either no more or on their way out as brands streamline their collections, Emporio Armani is still alive and kicking, and the chief reason is that it makes good-quality high-fashion clothes at relatively accessible prices. From its autumn-winter collection, we love this look of wool blend bomber jacket (HK$19,100), which features the season's signature brush-stroke print detail, wide leg trousers (HK$5,800), wool blend collar scarf with zipper (HK$2,300), black bag with the same brush stroke motif (HK$11,000) and leather shoes (HK$6,400; all above right). We also love this rock-star chic look of geometric print pea coat made of alpaca wool (HK$17,000), fleece trousers (HK$6,400), fingerless gloves (HK$2,000) and a rather fetching faux fur poncho (HK$4,500; all above left). Emporio Armani is in Chater House, Central.
