Another good place for hepcats and urban warriors to find the right tops and dancing trousers for a night out.

This store is cool bordering on crazy. The highlight of the hip and happening design collections is the “Splatter Collection” by Japanese artist Dehara Yukinori. It’s hard to say if he’s trying to be comical or is seriously deranged. Either way, don’t miss his lurid, twisted figurines such asKilled Person andBrainman .

An open-air market area in the heart of Causeway Bay, one of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping districts. All sorts of goodies here, from run-of-the-mill fashion shops to traditional barbers and Chinese medicine sellers. Sample a glass of fresh soy bean milk.

The extensive selection of clearance designer wear from the stores of Hong Kong chain Joyce are perhaps the main reward for struggling out to Horizon Plaza . You get discounts of 60 per cent on the likes of Armani.

Uncrowded mall with funky street clothing, accessories, handbags and watches. There’s genuine vintage denim and other 70s and 80s rarities, and kitsch Japanese cartoon ephemera aplenty.

No designer labels – unless they’re fake. What you’ll find here is inexpensive women’s clothing from lingerie to shoes. There’s a decent selection of jeans, cheap food and knick-knacks galore. (see Ladies Market)
