Founded by French fashion designer, Walid ZaaZaa, the fashion and lifestyle space is one brimming with brilliant labels from all over the world.
Breathing fresh air into the retail scene in Singapore is the exquisitely curated fashion and lifestyle store, Manifesto. Newly open in Capitol Piazza, the spacious 2,500 square feet store boasts of over 60 diverse international brands – be it known or under the radar names that you’ve probably never heard of before. Founded by French fashion designer, Walid Zaazaa, the is essentially one contemporary haven of brilliant finds.
Art meets fashion
The very concept for the shopfront was to create a minimalistic space that allowed customers to roam around freely without freely restricted or overwhelmed by racks of clothes. Essentially, what immediately comes to mind when you step in is how it mimics an art gallery, topped off with industrial elements. Designed by WY-TO architects, we have to say the sleek and geometric interiors are not only pleasant for the eyes but welcoming to the passing shopper.
Unique to Singapore
Now as we mentioned, some of the brands stocked in Manifesto are new to Singapore. Handpicked by ZaaZaa himself, these include Parisian menswear brand, U-NI-TY, Japanese label Gillet on top of the well revered brands such as Lemaire, Opening Ceremony, Thakoon, Barbara Bui, Kitsune and Costume National.
Besides fashion, you could easily find yourself fiddling with the wide variety of accessories, fragrances from Diptyque and MAD et LEN, as well as Linda Farrow sunglasses and Stan Smith for Adidas sneakers. So you know you’ll definitely unearth a gem of a buy from one visit.
Manifesto is located at 13 Stamford Road, Capitol Piazza, #02-19.
