From Fighting Climate Change to Traceability, Luxury Shoppers Are Demanding More Than Pretty Packaging
Orange – Bold And Fearless
Orange may not be the only fruit, but as a bold and fearless colour it is the only accessory you need.

2020 Christmas Wish Lists: Florence’s Picks
Christmas can be quite a stressful and overwhelming time of year, so let us take one thing off your mind by providing a curated list of some of the - in my opinion - best gifts that would make anyone smile, be it yourself or someone else. Here's my 2020 Christmas wish list.
Hermès
There’s no better feeling than cosying up on the sofa or beside a fireplace during Christmas, and this Hermès Brides de Gala jacquard blanket in wool and cashmere will make you feel as if you’re wrapped in a cloud.
Audemars Piguet x Carolina Bucci
Only available at the AP house in Hong Kong, Carolina Bucci’s latest collaboration with Audemars Piguet makes the perfect Christmas gift. Classic, simple and shiny, the hand-made KISS bracelet features Bucci’s signature frosted exterior. To add to the excitement, the bracelet is available in different versions of yellow, pink, white, black and brown gold
Gucci
This colourful GG Marmont Paillette puts me straight in the mood to party. A bucket bag with a mini and small shoulder chain covered in sparkling sequins in multi-coloured diagonal stripes of pastel pink, green, gold and silver, the GG Marmont will definitely turn heads.
Theo Fennell
British jeweller Theo Fennell specialises in meticulously crafted jewellery using precious materials and gemstones. This Christmas, I’d love to receive this ring made from a variety of gemstones to resemble a rainbow, along with this channel-set gold infinity band.
Four Seasons
For those looking for peace and quiet this Christmas, Four Season Hotel Hong Kong’s Harbour View suite is a luxurious place in which to spend the happiest time of the year. The spacious suite is a perfect getaway for a staycation with Hong Kong at your doorstep and a perfect treat to add to my 2020 Christmas wish list.
Saint Laurent
I’ve always been a die-hard fan of Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello for its chic, rock ’n’ roll looks. In particular, this bright red tie-neck jacquard silk minidress with a bow at the front makes for a festive yet stylish outfit for any occasion.
Dior
A new essential designed by Maria Grazia Chiuru, Dior’s St Honoré tote embellished with the CD logo is a practical and elegant bag that I can use on multiple occasions, round the clock.
Chloé
Chloé’s glittery Lauren sneakers in silver grey will allow me party until the wee hours. The wave-like edges of the bottom sole also give it a funky touch!
Giorgio Armani
This sleek Giorgio Armani backpack would make a nice gift for any man - or woman. Made of water-repellent nylon flanked by details in garnet calfskin, the backpack combines performance with design.

Gucci Made a Film Series With Director Gus Van Sant Instead of a Runway Show
Gucci Puts an Irreverent Spin on its Logo With the Fake Not Motif
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so the saying goes.
The ‘80s saw the appropriation of logos and mass inundation of counterfeits that quickly became a part of the streetwear lexicon. Rather than detest the phenomenon, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele instead draws inspiration for the Gucci Fake Not motif – a key print from the Autumn/ Winter 2020-21 men’s collection.
Irreverent and rebellious, the collection is an ironic homage to the institutional code of the brand: The logo. Though fashion is typically led by originality and the narrative of who did it first, Gucci’s creative director toys with a reverse approach. This design story began with the fake Gucci logo with the red and green bicolour stripe that first came into circulation in the ‘80s.
Michele puts this print on activewear pieces, including T-shirts. The newest chapter in this concept is Gucci Fake Not, wherein bold lettering combines with the colours of the bi-colour stripe.
The two-sided use of the Fake/Not lettering applies to a range of menswear from T-shirts and sweatshirts to blousons. Similarly, a range of luggage also features the motif from an East/West top-handle tote, backpack, belt bag, medium-sized duffle, small duffle with gold Horsebit detail, hard suitcase, and hard beauty case.
Meanwhile, in accessories, a baseball cap in GG supreme canvas, mid-calf-length socks in ivory or black and a water-repellent oversized cape are also available. Moreover, non-binary styles duly receive the Fake/Not treatment that includes the Pursuit slide and the Ace.
The Ace features a GG supreme material base. This genderless sneaker has the housered- green bi-colour stripe on the sides and a green leather bag tab bearing a gold Gucci logo. The sneaker features rich brown leather piping, and the word “Fake” in yellow over the Web stripe on one shoe and the word “Not” in yellow on the other shoe in a matching position, providing a fitting kick-off to a captivating, playful collection.
