Consuela Castiglioni's Marni label is known for its bright colours and funky patterns and counts Julia Roberts, Ashley Judd, Kirsten Dunst, Audrey Tatou, and Monica Bellucci among its celebrity fans. We're fans of her dresses, which are quirky and romantic and never too formal. Marni has just opened a new boutique in China, inside the China World Trade Centre, the city's most upscale shopping centre. This big, glossy shopping centre is also home to Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Cartier and Max Mara (but be warned, prices can be higher than they are in the US and UK because of high taxes). The store has been designed by the London firm Sybarite, and the store features glossy, grey walls and lacquered steps, with curvy garment rails.
