The shopper: Landmark Men
Landmark has renovated its 5,500 square metre luxury men's fashion floor, Landmark Men, and added four new stores to the high-end mix.
The Konzepp pop-up shop's green and yellow bamboo canopy make it a colourful new addition to the floor and will be at Landmark Men until August. Established in 2010, Konzepp was founded by Malaysian producer and talent manager Willie Chan Chi-Keung and Canadian-born designer and producer Geoff Tsui to develop design collaborations within the local Hong Kong creative community. The trendy shop stocks a range of streetwear brands.
Luxury Italian footwear brand Santoni has also moved into Landmark Men — its first standalone store in Hong Kong. Designed by architect Patricia Urquiola, the store is a replica of the label's flagship in Milan. The shoes are contemporary yet sophisticated and range from elegant classic models to unconventional sneakers and leather accessories, all made in Italy.
Also new to Landmark Men is Point de Vue, the concept store by local luxury eyewear boutique Puyi Optical. The store is inspired by the sophisticated gents of the 18th century and stocks high-end frames including Oliver Peoples, Lindberg, and Cutler and Gross.
All this retail therapy can be washed down with a stiff drink from The Whisky Library pop-up shop, which runs until the end of June. It houses a comprehensive collection of the spirit, including the full ranges of Old Malt Cask, Old & Rare and Provenance and a large assortment of vintage whiskies, and thousands of bottles of rum, gin, and vodka.
From May 26 to 28 you can also go on a whisky crawl through 30 of Landmark Men's stores, each offering a different brand of the spirit, accompanied by live music. will be there on the evening of May 27 for a whisky tasting party, featuring guest DJ Janette Slack.
