PRETTY BALLERINAS COLLABORATES WITH INFLUENCER JENNY WALTON

Spanish shoe brand Pretty Ballerinas, known for its ballet pumps and flat shoes, has collaborated with New York-based influencer Jenny Walton for a chic capsule collection.

Walton, an illustrator, is better known as the founder and fashion director of fashion blog The Sartorialist.

For the collection, she designed four groups of ballet flats in the brand's popular Zoe and Marilyn styles. Daisies - a signature motif for the influencer - feature heavily, realised in die-cut flowers on leather and Swarovski crystal blooms ironed onto organic cotton.

The designs also pay tribute to past fashion eras, with silhouettes and colour combinations reminiscent of the 1950s.

The Pretty Ballerinas x Jenny Walton collection is priced from $279 to $479.

NEW SK-II DESIGNS INSPIRED BY JAPANESE KIMONOS

SK-II's newest limited-edition design of its Facial Treatment Essence ($300) takes inspiration from the style of girls in Tokyo.

Available in two variations, the bottles are dressed quite literally in traditional Japanese kimonos in vivid colours for spring.

Topping the bottle off is a massive doll's head that serves as a bottle cap and completes the three-dimensional design.

The globally loved Pitera essence formula remains unchanged, but collectors will want to pick this up.

Info: Available at all SK-II counters including BHG, Takashimaya and Metro
