For Lagardère Travel Retail Singapore and Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Ann Pang, the boutique addresses the growing demand for streetwear in Southeast Asia. “The brand’s success is built on its inclusivity, as streetwear is very much size-inclusive and gender-neutral. The designs are highly inspired by a combination of music, sports and arts culture that appeals to a wide community.

“The acmé de la vie mono-brand boutique is the perfect addition to Lagardère’s range of exclusive labels in Singapore. We are pleased to collaborate with our valued partner in offering global travellers the first duty free concept store outside of Korea,” she added.

Acmé de la vie has secured playful collaborations including Smiley, The Simpsons, Sesame Street, Disney and Edgwalker. The brand is a favourite among South Korean pop idols, enhancing its popularity globally.
