Dress Up for the Office with These Summer Fashion Trends

TUMI shows its continued iconic status with their golden anniversary releases. 

International travel and lifestyle brand TUMI has released a numbered, limited-edition capsule collection of gilded cases and accessories in celebration of their 50th anniversary.

“We wanted to do something truly special for our 50th anniversary,” said Creative Director Victor Sanz. “And what better way to celebrate than by taking our iconic 19 Degree design and giving it a bold, metallic gold twist? This ultra-limited-edition drop is all about celebrating where we’ve been – 50 years of pushing boundaries in design and craftsmanship – and where we’re headed. It’s the perfect blend of innovation, style, and celebration.” 

The limited-edition collection features four silhouettes from TUMI’s signature 19 Degree Aluminum collection: a Briefcase (HK$18,300), International Carry-On (HK$13,800), Watch Travel Case (HK$6,300), and a Minaudiere (HK$12,800) – in celebratory Bullion Gold. 

Each radiant piece features an aircraft-grade aluminum shell with TUMI’s iconic 19 Degree contours and distinctive details and comes finished with a 50th anniversary story patch that includes its unique edition number. Only 250 units of each silhouette are available worldwide, making these pieces covetable collectors’ items for TUMI enthusiasts. 

The collection is now available at select TUMI retail stores. Select styles will also be available at TUMI flagship and retail stores globally, including China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Let’s be honest – most of us haven’t a clue how to properly treat our scalps, we just pray to the hair gods that our half-hearted shampoo routine counts as "self-care" and hope for the best. 

So when Svenson Hong Kong offered me a real deep clean with their revitalizing hair spa treatment, I practically jumped at the chance to rescue my roots. 

With spring approaching, I was on a mission to rescue my hair from the dryness left by the winter months, and Svenson’s unique approach to scalp care seemed like the perfect solution, while also providing a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.

Trichology, the study and science behind hair and scalp health, is making a comeback in the ever-shifting beauty world, and I was keen to find out if it was more than a buzzword. Stepping into the pristine clinic assured me that I was in the hands of certified professionals, with numerous prestigious certificates and awards lining their every shelf.

The treatment began with a personalized consultation, where a trichologist used a digital microscope to assess the condition of my scalp, and proceeded to project these images onto a computer monitor. Watching a blown up visual of my scalp through a microscopic lens was an eye-opening experience. To my dismay, there were dry patches, lingering dandruff and even some gunk lodged deep in the crevices of my scalp.

To address these problem areas, the trichologist recommended the 90-minute Onsen Aroma Relaxation Hair Spa (HK$1,388 for a trial, original price is HK$2,080, and package price is HK$11,288 for 10 sessions). She advised this would help to fight off the "3 Ds" – dirt, dandruff, and dimethicone (a common ingredient in hair products which can cause buildup and even exacerbate hair loss).

Next, I was led to a serene and spacious treatment room, where the spa experience kicked off with a warm sleeping mask placed over my eyes—the perfect way to start unwinding, as well as a selection of aromatic essential oils for the waterfall-style hair spa.

The treatment included a thorough scalp cleanse using the Intensive Purifying Treatment, followed by an Infrared Electric Scalp Massage that left me feeling deeply invigorated. Then came a vigorous shampoo and head massage, expertly applied with just the right amount of pressure. The experience culminated in the refreshing sensation of a moisturizing waterfall-style hair spa, which gently cascaded over my scalp. 

Next came the Placenta Restorative Treatment, designed to boost blood circulation and promote hair growth. While the name may sound a little intimidating, it was surprisingly soothing and left my scalp feeling revitalized.

To complete the indulgence, I enjoyed a soothing herbal-ball chest and shoulder massage. They then used a device on my scalp that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie – called a 12 Laser Comb – which helps stimulate hair follicle growth.

The session wrapped up with a thorough scalp analysis to assess the before-and-after effects of the treatment. The difference was striking; the treatment had cast off the stubborn residue and dandruff, and my scalp looked impeccably clean and refreshed. Every trace of buildup had been gently but effectively eliminated, leaving the scalp not just cleansed but truly rejuvenated. 

If I were to go again, Svenson's professional team recommended the Rescue Dandruff Control Treatment (Original Price at HK$600) and if short on time, the 25-minute Onsen Aroma Relaxation Hair Spa Express, which includes an all-rounded ritual of scalp deep cleansing, hair follicle stimulation and even hair cuticle and hair cell nourishment. The trial price for the Express Spa is HK$538, the original price is HK$1,080, and the package price HK$6,888 for 10 sessions.

Additionally, if you're seeking more scientifically leaning treatments, Svenson offers the cutting-edge INDIBA + NMN Cellular Regeneration Treatment, which combines RF (radio frequency) technology with NMN cell regeneration therapy to target blood circulation and encourage thicker, stronger hair. This package is available at the trial price of HK$1,888 (originally HK$8,320 per session) for two sessions.

Final Verdict 

The results were immediate and lasting. My scalp felt incredibly clean, almost tingling, and the freshness lingered without any irritation.

While it’s not a one-time fix for dry hair or hair loss (consistency is key), my hair certainly benefited from the treatment. It felt softer and had a natural bounce thanks to the nourishing products used.

While Svenson’s treatments are on the pricier side, the soothing luxurious experience from start to finish, coupled with the informative professional consultations before and after the spa, makes it a worthwhile experience.  

If you’re looking to doze off and be pampered, this may not be the spa treatment for you. However, if you want a comprehensive, science-based treatment with advanced technologies focused on your hair needs, including scalp and hair follicle health, Svenson will give you the ultimate care.

Fancy indulging in a world of fantasy and elegance? This spring, alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet welcomes you to the enchanting and timeless library of their Spring 2025 collection, "Hotel Imagination."

Each room embodies a signature print or embellishment — think a lace library, a fantasy floral salon, a decoupaged dinette, and a chambre de l'étoile. The collection masterfully blends old-world charm with modern preppy bohemian glamor, creating a dreamy escape into Bendet’s creative universe.

This season’s color palette is a playful “preppy primary,” featuring soft baby hues like chambray, banana yellow, and dusty pinks, punctuated by bold pops of red and blue. The preppy theme is further emphasized with bouclé blazers, crisp knit polos, to name a few.

Femininity takes center stage, referencing Fifties and Sixties through ladylike shifts, drop-waist dresses, full skirts, and crystal-embellished tunics. These pieces evoke a nostalgic past of vintage cars and timeless elegance, reimagined for the modern woman. 

Sculptural jackets and vests feel strikingly modern, while classic couture shapes are reimagined in innovative ways. Drop-waist bodices and full skirts are crafted from wrinkle-resistant moiré, while engineered vertical florals create the striking illusion of an hourglass silhouette.

Standout pieces include corsets built from stretch knits, designed as statement items for the season. These are paired with the new “Olivia pant,” hailed by Bendet as “the best and most flattering butt fit we’ve ever made!”  

Dress to impress with their elegant evening wear, designed to dazzle, featuring show-stopping pieces like a glittering column gown adorned with hundreds of pink mirrored shards and a series of statement capes. 

For the first time since 2019, alice + olivia are introducing handbags, each tied to a hero embroidery or embellishment from the collection. Their crystal-encrusted clutch doubles as statement jewelry, while glittering baguette bags are hand-embellished with beads and paillettes. 

These accessories will be released as limited-edition drops throughout the season.

Location: Multiple Locations

Are you a die-hard Bob Dylan fan or just a lover of classic denim?  Either way, get ready to step into the shoes — well, jeans — of a legend.

To celebrate the release of “A Complete Unknown,” the Bob Dylan biopic which hit Hong Kong cinemas on Feb. 20, 2025, Levi’s® Vintage Clothing is paying tribute to Bob Dylan with an exclusive limited-edition collection that revives some of his most iconic wardrobe staples.

Starring Timothée Chalamet as the young folk troubadour, James Mangold’s film takes audiences back to Dylan’s early days in the West Village — armed with just his guitar, his revolutionary lyrics, and a look that would become timeless. Dylan’s signature denim is front and center in the movie, thanks to costume designer Arianne Phillips, who teamed up with Levi’s® to recreate the musician’s most memorable fits.

“While researching costumes for the film, I noticed that Bob Dylan wore Levi’s® consistently throughout his career, both on and off stage,” Arianne shared. “I worked with Paul O’Neill at Levi’s® to help me source original Levi’s® denim and produce the bootcut 501® jeans, as well as recreate the Super Slim Levi’s® jeans that Dylan wore in ’65.”

The Levi’s® Vintage Clothing x A Complete Unknown collection captures these moments in style history. The lineup includes the Levi’s® Vintage Clothing 1955 501® jeans with a bootcut insert — just like the ones Dylan personally altered — a leather “D” buckle belt, and the Levi’s® Vintage Clothing Classic Suede Trucker Jacket, reminiscent of the one he wore in the early ’60s. 

Each piece comes as part of a beautifully curated box set filled with Dylan memorabilia. The 501® Jeans Box Set (HK$3999) includes a cue card from “Subterranean Homesick” Blues, sheet music for “Girl from the North Country,” and a typewritten lyric. 

Meanwhile, the Suede Jacket Box Set (HK$9999) features sheet music for “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” a “Dig Yourself” cue card, and a movie still of Chalamet in full Dylan attire. Each jacket also has a special costume note inside the pocket, marking the outfit change and scene it appears in.

This limited-edition collection is available now at Levi’s® Harbour City.
