Hong Kong Tatler's resident style queen gives her top tips for how to pack for a sunny holiday away to Rio de Janeiro, just in time for the Louis Vuitton Cruise show 2016
Pack your bags — there has never been a better time to head to Rio de Janeiro. In addition to being the host of this year's Summer Olympics, the stylish Brazilian capital is also the location for this season's Louis Vuitton Cruise Show, happening on May 28 at the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Niterói Contemporary Art Museum overlooking picturesque Guanabara Bay. Ahead of her trip, Hong Kong Tatler's Fashion Editor Justine Lee revealed the sartorial essentials to see her through from (airport) runway to (show) runway.
Justine's Rio Essentials
Vita Kin top
Vita Kin is quickly becoming my favorite label for the summer months. Her tops make a great coverup over a swimsuit or can be worn with a pair of shorts.
Louis Vuitton Twist bag
A great bag to take me from day to night. This LV Twist bag (in my favourite colour: black) will easily go with all my outfits.
Gianvito Rossi heels
I love the ease of a chunky heel, and Gianvito Rossi makes the nicest ones around.
Fendi sunglasses
Couldn't hit up Rio without a pair of sunnies… or two!
Louis Vuitton bikini
Needless to say, I will be definitely hitting the beach. I'm looking forward to getting some sun at Ipanema beach in this bikini.
Saint Laurent sneakers
I definitely plan on doing some sightseeing on my first trip to Brazil — and these sneakers by Saint Laurent were made for walking.
Karuna face masks
I never take a trip without packing sheet masks. I usually throw one on as soon as I arrive at the hotel.
Eastpak suitcase
Lightweight and compact, this two-wheeler by Eastpak (available at Mr Porter) is perfect for a short getaway.
