The Moxsie team has been globetrotting since last week, with one of us in Hong Kong and a contingent of employees due to touch down in Vegas for MAGIC next week. (Are you going to be there? We'd love to meet you!) Mayka's been doing her best to get a sense of what's been winning Hong Kong residents' fancies - in the most covert snapshotting way possible. (She argues that candid shots of style are just as charming as poised model shots, plus they're that much more natural.)
Been to Hong Kong recently? If not, take a trip with us:

Though there are plenty of stylish Hong Kong women dressing from head-to-toe in black, some of the most intriguing outfits combined textiles and pops of color. Obviously, there's an artful way to to mix these things and then there's just the experimental. The woman above, in her basic but still eye-catching black-and-white plaid with bright purple sneakers, did a great job making the street-boho style look effortless and casual. She still looked approachable.

Wish we knew what these girls were talking about on the Metro! Our guess is it didn't have anything to do with the girl on the right's black-to-clear thick-rimmed glasses, because they're too awesome to warrant such a look of concern.
The girls below were happily babbling about their latest shopping trip to IFC (one of many huge, huge malls in Hong Kong), and we could only guess if they coordinated their bags with each other or not. Though their purses are blurry in motion in the photo, they each had black-and-white polka dot and stripe detailing that reminded us of Ichi-V's fun print combinations.
If you're looking for a place to go and are particularly hoping to update your wardrobe, look no further than Hong Kong. With its incredibly global representation of designers and wide array of styles from street market (Haggling required.) to high-end, the only thing to worry about with Hong Kong fashion is being overwhelmed.
