Consumers looking for clothes built for outdoor performance can rejoice with the arrival in Pacific Place of Canadian brand Arc’teryx. Those seeking a more refined look this weekend are well catered for with a new collection at Shanghai Tang, a long-established Hong Kong fashion house famous for its modern take on the elegant qipao, the traditional Chinese dress also known as the cheongsam. Lovers of the great outdoors are celebrating the opening of the eighth Hong Kong outlet of Canadian brand Arc’teryx in Pacific Place, Admiralty, on Hong Kong Island.
Making the opening extra special is the launch of its Veilance women’s collection that blends outdoor functionality and contemporary urban cool, with sustainability at its core. The brand’s motto is “the Mountains Make Us Better”, and with that in mind, there is no better time to head to the new store. Shop 249, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, tel: 3563 9052 Asia’s premier luxury e-commerce platform Vermillion is the go-to place for the most inspiring brands from across the region.
It has all the summer essentials covered – we love the Resting Beach Face SPF30 Sunscreen Serum (US$24) from Everyday Humans. We also cannot get enough of the Screen Recycled Plastic Swimming Shorts (US$158) from Hong Kong label Mazu Resortwear. The brand pays homage to the city’s maritime history by incorporating motifs such as the sailing junk in its resort wear, which is made from fabric produced using upcycled plastic fished from the oceans.
