CHINESE NEW YEAR

Dance with the dragon in flaming crimson and glittering gold

Opulence is the key word here: auspicious red should be your colour of choice, with ruby Dolce & Gabbana velvets or an adorned brocade coat that’s evocative of Chinese art. Accessories pile on the glamour – metallic filigree Manolo Blahnik slippers, perhaps, or Bulgari’s earrings, which pay delightful homage to the pagoda. For those requiring extra drama, Ralph & Russo’s gleaming lamé gown will shine beautifully under illuminated lanterns.
