2011-06-08 10:22:37 UNIQLO

UNIQLO will launch several new stores in Taiwan this fall, culminating in the opening of a new Taipei global flagship store with a sales floor area exceeding 3,300 square meters. This flurry of openings is a direct response to the market's enthusiastic response to the first UNIQLO Taiwan location, the Uni-Hankyu Department store in Taipei, which opened for business on October 7, 2010.

With multiple new stores in Taipei, customers will be able to choose from several convenient locations to purchase UNIQLO products.

http://www.wheninmanila.com/unboxing-new-boxfresh-shoes-a-fresh-box-of-cool-from-london-to-manila/

Authentic British Streetwear is multi-cultured, intelligent, witty, sleek and expressive, independent and always fresh. Boxfresh apparel and footwear caters to the sophisticated urban street culture, mixing grungy overtones with sleek cuts and polished lines. Heralding the heroes of the street from musicians, performers, artists and creatives, Boxfresh believes that “The sidewalk is the new catwalk”.

As I said, I love my new pairs of Boxfresh shoes. I love them so much that I invited them over to my radio show, The Wake Up Show on Mellow 94.7 to talk about this new brand.

Here I am with my Boxfresh shirt and Sparko Combo shoes, along with Boxfresh Brand Manager Pepe Cervero:

Last June 03, 2011, I was invited by my good friend Jeff Limbauan of Events Food trip Undercover to cover an exclusive event with him. The said event was the exhibit of Boxfresh Apparel together with the 7^th Anniversary of saGuijo Café + Bar.

Here’s a little information about BoxFresh, I know that this brand was new for you. It is originally derived from New York hip-hop slang describing a new pair of footwear as being “fresh out of the box”. They are the British street wear originators and now they are making name in the Philippine Fashion.

Shop Stop: Invincible in Taipei City, Taiwan

Vans OTW APAC (Asia Pacific) team member Jenn Kong stopped by Invincible recently and snapped a couple of pictures for us. Invincible is one of two Vault accounts in Taiwan and has dedicated their front window to our Vault designer Taka Hayashi. Some of our Vault and CA Collection releases were in full view when Jenn dropped by.

Invincible opened in 2006 and was the first retailer in Taipei City to bring street fashion and street culture to the youth market. Owner Jimmy Wu named the shop Invincible because he feels that the brands that he carries are invincible in the street fashion industry and his customers will feel the same way when they wear his apparel and footwear.

Invincible is located at 1F., No.3, Alley 35, Lane 181, Sec. 4, Jhongsiao E. Rd., Da-an District, Taipei City, Taiwan. For more information about their shop, visit their official site at www.invincible.com.tw.

0

It does not come as a surprise that Japanese brand visvim will be embarking on a new store in the trendy Star Street district of Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The area is already home to handful of restaurants, bars, galleries and fashion forward boutiques for footwear, accessories and vintage furniture. Furthermore, Star Street is fast becoming a new hub for creative types and likes, which definitely makes the new F.I.L. Wan Chai store feel at home. Just a few doors down from the Monocle store, the new F.I.L. is set back and hidden away from street view, creating a discreet, personal shopping experience.
Grand opening of the store is scheduled for this Saturday, March 26th. As would be the custom, limited edition products are making their way into the store. There is the Hockney Ostrich Folk with premium ostrich leather in tricolor that will be exclusive to F.I.L. Wan Chai. Another exclusive piece is the Juneau Weld shirt, featuring blue/yellow welded pockets. Since both will not be sold elsewhere, be sure to drop by the new store next time you visit Hong Kong.

STAPLE x Kinetics × Timberland 7 Eyelet Chukka Boots | Pre-Order

Last month we gave a sneak preview of the triple label 7 Eyelet Chukka Boots by Kinetics, STAPLE and Timberland. Now these limited edition boots are officially available for pre-order at Kinetics online store. Gray nubuck upper material is separated in two sections with the tongue, toe box and side panels embossed to imitate the texture of a corduroy fabric. Vividly colored red and sax blue inner lining contrasts the monotone exterior and its geometric check pattern fabric was hand selected by Jeff Staple. Lightweight PU soles are matched to the boots increasing comfort, reminiscent of a sneaker rather than boots. Also STAPLE and Kinetics made complimenting Military cap in the same cool gray tone with geometric check pattern under the visor.
