Seby and I have traveled all over the world together, and one of our favorite stops is Hong Kong. I always look forward to shopping in the I.T Izzue boutique. Why? A picture is worth a thousand words.
The Chinese chain has locations all over Hong Kong, but only some of the Izzue shops carry the streetwear brand Hyoma.
These photos are from last fall (I’ll post the spring collection soon). Who can resist a googly-eyed pumpkin face?
Or an eye-ball purse? A snow-ball scarf?
One of my favorite branches is the I.T store in Causeway Bay. The store has its own sleek fashion line, and it’s one of my favorites for menswear. Slim fits, leather, crosses and rocker edge.
The top floor of Causeway Bay’s I.T holds international designer brands, like Alexander McQueen.
The shoe selection, oh!
Hyoma, the bunny-faced character, originated in Japan but is now produced here.
There are multiple mens and womens brands inside, but this is my favorite, for obvious reasons.
Recognize the fuzzy big-eyed purse? I have it in black.
The Babydoppy Mini Cream line is for kiddies.
Some of the coordinates are a tad over-the-top, even for me.
But a few choice pieces — a scarf, or polka dot shoes — can give you street-style spark.
I know you want bunny sneakers…
I.T and Izzue are must-visit shops in Hong Kong. The displays are always inspiring, such as this Red Riding Hood window.
This is the designer-only I.T branch in Elements, the Tsim Tsa Shui shopping center.
A Rick Owens vibe, on the mannequins.
A great place to pick up Gothic and leather wear, if you can afford it.
What do you think of Hyoma and the I.T & Izzue stores? Does Hong Kong fashion surprise you? How does it compare to Japan’s?
For more images, see my 2011 blog about this Chinese clothing chain.

Seby and I can’t wait to meet you at Anime Evolution Vancouver, June 27-30. Hope to see you at our panels and autograph tables — don’t be shy!

I actually have traveled everywhere in the global collectively, and one in all our favorite stops is Hong Kong. I always look ahead to shopping inside the I.T Lizzie boutique. Why? A picture is really worth a thousand phrases.
