So young, sew good

Wu Laifan moved her fashion boutique in Hong Kong's Soho district from 67 Peel Street to 69 and changed its name from Fang Fong to Fang Fong Project last year. By moving a couple of meters down the street, the designer intended to transplant what she calls the "LA shopping experience" to this bars-and-boutiques area of Hong Kong.

The designer tore down the second floor to create a high ceiling and made room for giant windows that create light on the sales floor.

"This space is much more airy, bright and light-hearted," Wu says. "The idea is to make customers feel right at home."
