Wudai-Shiguo: Hong Kong's most talked-about retro store

Fri, 03/16/2012 - 00:00 — Anonymous by Hiufu WongWudai-Shiguo, better known
as WDSG, is one of the most talked-about new shops that opened this week in
Hong Kong's hottest indie shopping area, the Star Street neighborhood. It's
the passion project of six local designers who dismiss all the icons of Hong
Kong as "clichés." "People think that Hong Kong means egg tarts, or when it
comes to design it means the red, white and blue bags," says Kenji Wong,
creative director of WDSG. "I don't think so." Instead, Wong and the WDSG
team are into 1930s Americana.  WDSG sells near-historically accurate
reproductions of furniture from the United States and clothing by Mister
Freedom and Ralph Lauren Leather.read more
