• Find a Pattern: Big, bold prints rule this season. Whether woven or printed, abstract or floral, unconventional patterns that seem a little off are oh, so IN! The Daisy jacket, with its jacquard weave of jumbo blossoms, creates a shadowy effect of color and line.
• Opposites Attract: Choose topsy-turvy, high-contrast silhouettes - wear small tops with full skirts, lean legs under swing jackets. Don't be afraid to choose daring combinations that break the rules -- pair soft and flowy with structured and concise.
• Boy Meets Girl: This season continues the feminine twist on masculine dressing. Wide-legged trousers like Premier have form-flattering stitching and a close-fitting hip to lengthen legs and keep you looking great coming and going.
• City of Sirens: Show 'em what you've got -- go for the curves. This season's va-va-voom dresses and pencil skirts create sensual silhouettes that stop traffic. The fashion police are sure to say the Chic dress is just the ticket.
• Belt It Out: Waist away with this season's bold belts and accessories. Careful tucks and a wide elastic belt make a shapely statement. The Aristocrat jacket says it so well.
• Play Dress Up: What's your type - Audrey Hepburn or Bridget Bardot? No matter your muse, this season's easy-to-wear dresses offer classic lines and a feminine fit. The Milano dress will keep you looking camera ready.
• Make Them Go Green: Friends and enemies alike will envy signature pieces such as our Apple Green, a fabulous croc-embossed bag of Italian leather. Don't look back -- forge ahead with accessories in bold colors and great shapes.
• Do the Wave: What's spring break without a trip to the beach? Dive into the watercolor blues and teals of the Bonnie skirt. This season it's all about Nantucket, a nifty little swing jacket of blue glazed cotton with gunmetal gray hardware, the colors of the ocean just after sunset.
• Gloss Over: Patent leather shine isn't just for shoes anymore. This spring, look for high gloss glimmering jackets, shirts and accessories. See yourself in Hudson, a tissue-thin jacket with a watery patina -- the perfect topper for the Gemini jeans.

Here are just a few things that differentiate the Per Se Collection and client experience:

EXPERIENCED DESIGNERS: The Per Se management and design teams possess an outstanding fashion pedigree, having gained experience at Christian Dior, Bill Blass, Tahari, Ellen Tracy and Burberry, among others. Each collection is the result of this collective knowledge, intuitive design sense and studied understanding of the perfect fit and function.

PERSONALIZED SERVICE: The Per Se Consultant acts as personal stylist, using her fashion expertise to develop and customize a fun, functional wardrobe tailored to the client's personality and lifestyle. Consultants keep records of all clients' purchases for easy coordination of existing and current pieces.

FABULOUS FABRICS: The Per Se designers are fabric snobs and proud of it! While each season's collection is stylistically distinct, all offer couture-caliber textiles from the best mills in England, Italy and France.

QUALITY MANUFACTURING: From the design to the finishing, each Per Se piece is impeccably made, down to the very last detail. From linings and seams, to zippers, buttons and trim, each perfect garment is the product of our longtime relationships with Hong Kong's most discerning manufacturers.
