Fraternal entrepreneurs Brian and Vincent Wu have made a name for themselves with a string a boutiques across Australia which has resonated extremely well with the nation’s young and style-conscious. Their successful venture, Incu Group, engages in fashion retail, wholesale, production and logistics, and manages both multi-brand Incu boutiques, as well as the A.P.C. and Rag & Bone stores Down Under. The company is expanding yet again, and this time with both a men’s and women’s boutique at The Galeries, a popular mall in downtown Sydney where it already operates a women’s store. The men’s boutique is located downstairs near Town Hall railway station and sees an interior design by Sydney-based design practice and longtime collaborator Akin Atelier.
Similar to existing Incu boutiques, the new men’s retail space sees a welcoming and contemporary aesthetic which reflects the founders’ love for travel and design. The settings are captured by custom furnishings and fixtures, using a compatible range of materials, such as terrazzo flooring and perforated plywood ceiling to create a coherent and inviting shopping environment. The new Incu men’s boutique carries a tightly curated mix of brands, such as A.P.C., Comme des Garçons and Acne Studios, and an exciting range of coveted new names, including Bode, Studio Nicholson and Undercover. Celebrating opening week, Incu has teamed up with Black Star Pastry to produce an exclusive Shortbread ‘Incu Shopping Bag’. There will also be Gong Cha bubble tea available as a gift with purchase until sold out.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
