After working as a designer and merchandiser in Hong Kong for 23 years, Monique Wong opens a store dedicated to showcasing her own clothing line, MW10018, as well as garb from five other local designers: Dessu, Kai D., Huffdust, Lumete and Simply Natural Clothing. Expect to find an impressive collection of casual yet chic menswear ($40–$400), womenswear ($48–$525) and accessories ($35–$275). Ladies’ highlights include Dessu colorblock blouses ($325), house-label sheer maxidresses ($398) and Lumete oversize sunglasses ($245). Men should look for Huffdust graphic tees ($45) and Kai D. denim button-down shirts ($225). Shoppers wanting a more personalized garment can make an appointment to meet with Wong and create their own piece. Custom designs are priced on a case-by-case basis, and take between four to eight weeks to complete.
