GetActive

For quite some time, working out in KL has meant sharing the gym with loads of other people whose motivation lies in getting laid rather than getting fit. Here’s where GetActive comes in.

Ed Hardy

Modesty is not the style philosophy of Ed Hardy. Talk about making a fashion statement – the luxury rock ’n’ roll-inspired brand’s apparel and accessories are so over the top and flashy. Besides requiring shades to protect your eyes from the clashing of loud and even garish colours seen on the clothes and accessories, most [...]

Tea & Sympathy

You won’t be getting tea and sympathy from anyone here, just clothes (and no accessories). Eighty per cent of the stocks are sourced from Bangkok, and the remaining locally-made ones are designed by Naomi Lim, the store owner. Although this rather bare store has limited items, it makes the shopping experience easier and decision making [...]
