Spring-summer looks from Giorgio Armani, Isabel Marant, Tod's
Alba Pinto
Since gingham made an appearance in spring lookbooks, it was only a matter of time before tartan marched onto the summer runways. Giorgio Armani has some of the best takes on the pattern in its latest collection of tailored jackets, trousers and cady silk blouses. Standouts include the trouser suit (jacket, HK$49,000; trousers, HK$28,000) and matching shirt (HK$18,000; all above left). If that's a little "much", then try pairing the same shirt with the long red coat with tartan lining (HK$55,000), soft grey trousers (HK$17,000) and heels (HK$6,050; all above right). Giorgio Armani is in Chater House, Central, tel: 2532 7700.
Giddy up Tod's has taken the equestrian route this season. Its summer range includes bags in the shape of saddles with straps that resemble reins. We'd pick the Mini Secchiello with leather drawstrings in teal (above left; HK$12,100) or the tan version with rhinestones (above right; HK$15,600). Tod's is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2810 8692.
