A lot of people seem to have the perception that Marchesa only had one big bang in fashion and that was when the high-end American label was first established by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in 2004. Since then, it stayed in the same spot. Well… Despite what everyone says, I still like their pretty collections. It’s hard not to find it irresistible, no?

Spotted at Lane Crawford

@ Womenswear/Lane Crawford:

  • Inside Out has arrived! There is not a great variety – but some nice Trompe d’oeil tops ($2500 HKD) and pants ($2900 HKD). So so soooo special!
  • Cheap Monday sexy black lace leggings. ($449 HKD)
  • Is Dorian Ho the Hong Kong’s Marchesa?
  • Ksubi also has a love heart Tee. ($1200 HKD)
  • Alexander McQueen dress placed in the podium has the true “WOWWWWW” effect.
  • Up close, the details in Schumacher’s collection are so nice. Great use of bejewelled embellishments, like those sweet twin buttons and the stones and love heart deco. Truly made with love!
  • See by Chloé has a love heart tee ($890 HKD). Less cool than the one from Ksubi’s actually.
  • DVF feels outdated.
  • Lanvin has an eye and lashes bag. So cool ‘n’ chic.
  • Black flats from Chloé with super large bow. Mmm…

@ Menswear/Lane Crawford:

  • @ Marc Jacobs: Go-go gold jacket!
  • @ Helmut Lang: nice tees from Helmut Lang and Atsuo Boris for Helmut Lang ($1300 HKD).
  • @ Jeans department: Ksubi seems like the “IT” thing. Those famous crosses are on fire!
  • @ the elegantly-decorated jeans department, I overheard a customer’s sudden exclamation: “I don’t like jeans with so many buttons. It’s hard to p**!”.
