Lifestyle shop Kapok at NDC has launched its own label, Future Classics.
The label features wardrobe staples with a focus on fabric, silhouette and details, and is said to “redefine genderless casualwear”.
“Working with Japanese and technical fabrics, Future Classics garments are cut to fit and flatter Asian body shapes,” says Kapok, describing the clothing as a “subtle show of selvedge on denim, with a quirky hanger embroidery logo to add a touch of fun”.
Kapok also features bags by Danish brand Rains, French labels like APC and Maison Kitsune, and Astier de Villatte city-themed candles.
Kapok was founded by former French banker Arnault Castel in Hong Kong in 2006. The brand now has eight stores in the city, and opened two years ago in Singapore at the National Design Center.
