STYLE PICKS
Fashion maven and retail fashion consultant of Chrishoppe, Christina Ho, on her picks of the season. 1 There is no outfit emergency a great leather jacket can’t fix. This Alice + Olivia version in buttery lambskin and with punky metal bar detailing is my favourite purchase this season. 2 Words cannot describe the magical feeling my family and I experienced while dining at The Anthenian House in Santorini back in 2016. The food was non-pretentious and exquisitely presented, topped off with the spectacular view of the caldera during sunset. Such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 3 When it comes to skincare, I’m very lowmaintenance. NuSkin’s NaPCA Moisturizer effectively hydrates my skin and protects it against dryness and ageing. 4 One of the designers I adore is Karl Lagerfeld. I find it fascinating that he’s been able to keep Coco Chanel’s legacy alive through his designs for the iconic fashion house throughout these years. 5 My scent of choice is Chanel’s Cristalle EDP, which I’ve been using since Jacques Polge introduced it in the ’90s. Its fresh floral finish smells heavenly. 6 I love traditional pieces with an edgy modern spin. This Jacquemus asymmetrical top ticks all the right boxes. 7 I hardly wear make-up, and when I do, it’s only a little. If the occasion calls for it, YSL Beauté’s Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick is perfect for a touch of glamour. 8 When it comes to investing in a luxury handbag, it’s crucial to find a style you really, truly love. Dior’s Mini Lady Dior bag is the statement piece to seamlessly transition from day to night. 9 I am a shoe fanatic; I got my first pair of Manolo Blahniks 25 years ago in New York. These black suede pointy pumps with gold ties are on my list of must-haves. 10 Fope’s Flex’it bracelets are superb blends of technology and craftsmanship. Three-dimensional bevelled rectangles are linked together, without soldering, into soft, sinuous structures that allow them to be stretched to fit the wrist perfectly.
