Denim diva

Tucked down a side street on the second floor of a nondescript building a few meters off bustling Omotesando-dori is Arcuate, a precious new concept store from Levi's Japan.

Arcuate makes up for its discrete location with big personality — the entry is a small red archway in the wall, leading to a narrow cobblestone staircase straight out of a fairy-tale European villa. The shop itself is vivid pink with giant Pop Art paintings and furniture placed around the boutique to invite shoppers to stay and explore.
