No, this is not a dream! The long awaited Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney Autumn/ Winter 2010 Pre-collections have landed in Lane Crawford! Start refurbish your winter wardrobe with the two all-time-favourite brands, making sure you are already the trendsetter for next season!

Inspired by Byzantine art and wood carve master Grinling Gibbons, Alexander McQueen infuses what is normally seen in a renaissance painting to the Autumn/ Winter 2010 collection. The exquisite design and details fuses the beauty of art and fashion as they are so beautifully and poetically presented. Being the last collection designed by Alexander McQueen, each piece is unique, as was he. 

Stella McCartney Autumn/ Winter 2010 draws balance between masculinity and femininity with different tailoring, textures, material used, and a highlight on the python theme. Tuxedo tailoring, collared jackets, utility pockets, silk satin dresses, and hand knitted capes are key emphasis in the collection, making it a perfect wardrobe for the city and the country girl.  

Both Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney are now available at Lane Crawford ifc mall, Lane Crawford Canton Road, and Lane Crawford Pacific Place.

Lane Crawford celebrated the debut of Marcel Wanders’ collection for French crystal brand Baccarat on May 18 at Lane Crawford Pacific Place home store.  Titled United Crystal Woods, the collection was showcasing for the first time in Hong Kong after debuting in Paris and Milan.  The collection of glasses, vases and candelabras captured the designer’s style – flamboyant, lyrical and inspired.

Channelling the natural world, Marcel Wanders dreamed up United Crystal Woods after a dinner party, where he fell asleep and woke up to a table filled with beautiful, empty glasses.  With this inspiration, he has created four different series – Forest of Dreams, Kings of the Forest, Woods of Euphoria and Spirits of the Woods.  Attending guests included prominent designer Alan Chan, socialites Caroline Roberts, Philip Ma and Winnie Ma, Sue Lynn Haw, Suzie Wakai, and singer Enriko Kwong.
