In a big fingers up to the monotony of consumerism, Singapore based visual artist Quincy Teofisto and media/fashion designer Jasmine Tuan are subverting your everyday shopping experience in their concept store [Blackmarket No.2](http://www.theblackmarket.sg/?ref=protein.xyz). The pair house the very best of Southeast Asian designers and creative’s amidst the wooden and glass expanse of their spacious shop floor located on [Jalan Pisang’s Victoria Street](http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=jalan+Pisang%E2%80%99s+Victoria+Street&bav=on.2,or.r%5Fgc.r%5Fpw.&biw=1389&bih=800&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl&ref=protein.xyz). Doubling up as an exhibition space, Teofisto and Tuan have transformed areas such as the shops opening where you’ll find a wall of multi-level shelves. Designed to emulate Chinese doctors storage for medicine, it’s also where the duo home their carefully selected pieces. Blackmarket is a place for thoughtful trade and the craze is catching. In Antwerp, [RA](http://www.ra13.be/?ref=protein.xyz) concept store is the wonderful and wacky kingdom of designers Romain Brau and Anna Kushnerova. Go to buy clothes or simply walk around, listen to music, have a drink, and take it all in. You can check out their little alternative retail world by clicking [here](http://hypebeast.com/2010/12/ra-antwerp-concept-store/?ref=protein.xyz). Huge labels such as [Comme des Garçons](http://www.comme-des-garcons.com/?ref=protein.xyz) are catching onto this concept trend and it’s a sign of the times; reflecting a generation of people that have surpassed the smoke and mirrors of ‘brand’ - who want to buy into something worth buying into. Big love to these places and let the craze spread.
