Oukan 71 is a brand new avant-garde fashion store, asian tea bar and restaurant at Kronenstraße near Stadtmitte. Last Thursday the boutique celebrated its grand opening presenting their selection of designers, teas and food. I was quite impressed really. The store is very elegant and modern and the choice of labels quite intriguing. Except for Ayzit Bostan, Antonia Goy and Vitor I hadn’t heard about any of them. Many of them are smaller Scandinavian brands, but they all have a Japanese inspired twist. Such as the Kimono-style wind and water proof coats by Norwegian Rain, or the Origami details on the clothes of the Munich-based label Fusionem.
I think it’s quite a daring concept to sell such avant-garde designs of young labels here in Berlin. I’m glad that someone’s finally going through with it and can’t wait to see what other collections will be added to the store in the future. Some impressions of the opening and details of the store after the jump.
