Chic Italian Invasion

Venezia. Milano. Florenza. Your itinerary this summer includes serious-sightseeing. And culinary stopovers. But you can go easy on packing your Louis Vuitton cases with Italian high fashion pretties — it’s all happening back home.

Say hello to GAS (stretch out the ‘a’, and say it right, ‘Gaas’). The premium Italian apparel and accessories brand is now here, in the heart of the city.

Slip into soft, summery cuts, styles and colours in GAS mainstay, denim. As well as dresses in lightweight cotton muslin with Balinese prints, and shirt dresses teamed with capris. For that careless just-put-myself-together look, team a sensual tee with ultra-high denim shorts or a denim skirt with studs and rhinestones.

Pick up, for him, cool cotton things. Our Trendy Shopaholic loved the floral shirts — digital flowery prints superimposed on classic pinstripes. The tees will make him smile.

Accessorise with their oversize belts, for the moment: bags and caps will be here soon.

Fly back light, with just some angel-hair pasta.
