And as Asia is global retail’s new frontier, it’s in this part of the world where any leading fashion brand’s expansion is eyeing expansion.

The Carven boutique occupies a ground floor unit at Shangri-la Plaza, an expansive mall complex in the upscale Mandaluyong district of the capital.

The boutique’s minimalist interior beckons from afar by way of a row of dangling lightbulb that line the floor-to-ceiling glass façade. Walls are dipped in a pristine white hue and adorned by life-size photographs of Carven’s new summer campaign and a neon sign, and paired with wooden flooring. Furnishings are equally simple, consisting of clothing racks in sleek black metal, display tables in similar material and wood, and a sturdy, cubic sales counter. The new Carven store carries the brand’s men’s and women’s apparel, shoes and accessories collections. An exclusive opening party was held, pulling a bubbly blend of manila’s savvy fashion pack and media invitees.
