If you're looking for local fashion that is worlds apart from the run-of-the-mill ones that you see in local shopping malls, the SOMA Stores located in Pasong Tamo's Green Sun Hotel should be your number one destination.

Brands are given a small pop-up space for three months, and the only rule they have to spruce it up is to let their imaginations run wild. And without a doubt, it's always a treat for me to visit the space because it is such a visual feast.
