The Fashion Intelligence Index has spoken! About half of fashionistas stomping around Causeway Bay are rocking classic office lady chic!
Some of them are even rocking nautical stripes! REVOLUTIONARY.
The local fashionista footwear of choice seems similarly utilitarian: the kitten heel. Ah yes, the sweet compromise of trying to look cute while constantly clambering on and off of a minibus without breaking one’s neck. To be fair, no mortal sporting lobster claw heels could survive a day on Hong Kong’s public transit.
In a note of subtle shade, the Index seemed almost disappointed in the inability of fashionistas to use accessories as statement pieces. The results highlighted a missed opportunity for personal expression.
Sorry not sorry that some of us are too busy raking in the dough to worry about if my bag is the right shade of neon, or if my necklace is insufficiently large and bedazzled enough to seem like a metal baby bib fit for Cleopatra.
Funnily enough, handbags weigh almost one kilo on average and most of the space was taken up by, you guessed it, accessories: sunglasses, bracelets, watches and rings. (Are we sure the index didn’t just happen to sample a lot of shoplifters?)
In a surprising turn of events, most fashionistas surveyed claimed that they do not diet and prefer to live a “healthy lifestyle.” The survey collectors certainly raised an eyebrow at that (because… they think they should be losing weight?).
Ultimately, the Fashion Intelligence Index has determined that Hong Kong’s fashionistas are collectively more boring than anticipated. The ever-charitable Fashion Walk hopes to intervene and push fashionistas to be more adventurous in their choices.
You heard it, people. It’s time for a credit card workout.
