Lane Crawford

Me looking good, notice the flat shoes, a long night.

I would go skiing, if I wore this Miu Miu jacket
My obsession, Kiki de Montparnasse, its mine!

I have been essentially living at Lane Crawford for the last 6 weeks.  Having done store installations before, I remember the initial awe of being surrounded by so much clothing, yet overtime, the awe quickly dissipates, when you start looking too closely at the dust on the mannequins, the lint on the black dresses etc and you see that the "glamour" isn't so glamorous after weeks of store walk thrus.  For those of you not in Asia, Lane Crawford is the Bergdorf Goodman of Hong Kong.  With 5 stores in HK and 1 in Beijing, they are the go to store for high end merchandise.  Not as fashion forward as Joyce, yet a go to choice for the fashion staples.  They certainly merchandise to the more conservative HK woman and expat and after 6 weeks in LC, I am ill looking at fur vests, short black skirts, black ankle boots, and skinny black leggings.  Mornings, late nights, lunch time, off times...the stores are always crowded.  I have decided to showcase some of my favorites.  Rather odd, they consist of mostly jackets, guess the mild HK weather has me dreaming of a more versatile closet.
