If you love that timeless-yet-effortlessly-modern vibe that fashion house Alaïa is known for, you’re going to fall head over heels for what Cloris Fashion has been doing lately in Hong Kong. “Alaia HK” style isn’t just about body-hugging silhouettes and bold femininity—it’s about clothes that feel like they were made just for you, but still allow you to move, breathe, and let your personality shine.

Last weekend when I was shopping in Central (yes, dangerously close to my monthly budget limit), I wandered into the Cloris Fashion space and—it just clicked. Their pieces aren’t trying too hard, yet they immediately give you that sense of polish. Honestly, I find them a step up from some of the regulars like Mango or Love Bonito. Those brands are great for basics, but Cloris has this couture-like attention to detail—more Alaia HK meets everyday wear. And here are the five looks that made me stop mid-scroll and think, yep, I want that now.

1. The Lapel Tie Waist Wool Coat – a dream for the season

Here’s the thing—this coat has presence. Think structured lapel, cinched waist, rich wool... the kind of outerwear you throw over even the simplest halter neck top and still look like you stepped out of a campaign shoot. Personally, I love letting the belt hang loose for a relaxed Alaia-inspired drape. Yes, it’s pricey, but SO worth it—you know you’ll be wearing it for at least 5 winters.

2. French Ruffle Shirt – Paris meets Hong Kong

Sometimes I just want a blouse that feels like I bought it on a whimsical Paris trip… but honestly, buying it here at Cloris is so much easier (and less damage on the Amex). This shirt’s soft ruffles and slightly romantic cut dress up work trousers as easily as they do your weekend denim jumpsuit moment. And I swear, when tucked into a sleek pencil skirt from their work clothes collection, it’s channeling pure Alaia HK minimal elegance.

3. Linen Cotton One-Shoulder Slip Dress – unexpected wedding guest perfection

The other day at a wedding, I saw someone in a dress just like this and couldn’t get it out of my head—fluid lines, flattering drape, minimal fuss. This piece is light and breathable but still holds that strong, sculpted silhouette Alaïa is known for. Pair it with statement womens loafers for a twist, or delicate heels if you’re going for classic wedding guest dress HK vibes. Have you noticed how a one-shoulder cut has this instant “I made an effort” vibe without actually trying too hard?

4. Denim Jumpsuit Dress – street style, done right

Okay so… this is my current obsession. A jumpsuit but in dress form? Genius. It gives that Alaia HK structured form up top and a playful swish at the hem. I threw on my chunky womens loafers when I went for coffee last Sunday, and I kid you not—three strangers stopped me to ask where it’s from. No cap, it’s that good. Also works amazingly with an oversized trench from their trend coat line when the weather turns.

5. V-Neck Single Breasted Mesh Patchwork Dress – the cocktail upgrade

If you’ve been hunting through every cocktail dresses online shop and everything feels just… generic… this is your antidote. The mesh paneling is subtle but adds high-fashion depth, the buttons feel almost vintage, and the fit is that sweet spot between bodycon and breathable. It makes me want to host a dinner just to have an excuse to wear it. Alaïa HK flair but with a slightly softer edge—think evening elegance without costume drama.

One thing I really appreciate about Cloris—beyond the clothes themselves—is how these pieces feel versatile. Mango might give you trend-of-the-week, and Love Bonito nails off-duty wear, but Cloris is quietly building a wardrobe for the woman who wants her clothes to last beyond a season. And honestly? Once you’ve worn a dress that moves like some of these do, it’s hard to go back.

If you want to dive deeper, the black dress edits (here) are worth a scroll, and the evening dress section is dangerous for your wallet in the best possible way. Just don’t blame me when that “add to cart” button gets too tempting.

What do you think? Would you rock the denim jumpsuit dress for daytime, or are you more of a slip-dress-at-sunset kind of person? Personally, I’m all for blurring those lines—because the best Alaïa HK energy comes when your outfit works from brunch to cocktails with just a swipe of red lipstick.

If you want, I can also put together a Cloris “day-to-night” styling guide next week featuring some of their halter neck tops and party dresses… because trust me, there’s a lot more worth talking about in this collection. ✨
