Belief

Belief is the place to go to if you’re looking to stay ahead of the runway. Specializing in mainly Japanese brands, the store was set up to cater to a niche crowd of trendsetters who are “not simply buying into trends and what they read in magazines,” says owner Roy Lim.

Junkie’s Corner

Possibly even more obscure is Junkie’s Corner, located in the East near Kembangan MRT.
