Japanese multi-brand fashion store STUDIOUS extends its reach to Hong Kong (with photos)
****************************************************************************************
The new store in Causeway Bay offers high-quality contemporary fashion apparel for men. In addition to its private label STUDIOUS, the store offers more than 10 other emerging and well-established designer brands from Japan, including JohnUNDERCOVER, White Mountaineering, JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN, LAD MUSICIAN and ATTACHMENT, said Chief Executive Officer Mr Masato Tani.
He said, "Hong Kong is an international fashion hub. Japanese fashion and lifestyles are very popular here. In Japan, we have also accumulated a strong fandom among Hong Kong customers who appreciate the creativity, tailoring and sewing techniques of Japanese fashion. That's why we want to keep the momentum going and set up a presence in the city.
"To complement the retail store in Hong Kong, last year we strengthened our online to offline strategy and launched a new e-shop dedicated to serving customers outside Japan. While our e-shop supports delivery to global locations, our select shop in Hong Kong invites customers to learn more about the trends in Tokyo and find the best styles that suit them before they buy. Eventually we will consider managing all the sales and distribution activities in Asia from Hong Kong."
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang said, "Hong Kong and Japan have been very close trade partners for many years. Through travelling to Japan and purchasing Japanese products, Hong Kong customers have developed a strong interest for Japanese design, culture and products. We are excited to see another well-established Japanese company entering into Hong Kong and bringing the latest fashions from Tokyo. We wish STUDIOUS every success in the city and invite them make use of our business advantages to take their brands to the global stage."
