While darklands-x stocks luxury avant Garde Fashion Brands including Boris Bidjan Saberi, Devoa, M.A+, Acronym, Innerraum, Enfin Léve, The Viridi-Anne, the main Darklands store stocks the world’s most artsy and unconventional high-end luxury avant garde fashion designers including Carol Christian Poell, Geoffrey B.

The darklands-x Store is located in the basement. The room is lit with neon lights, pieces are lined along metal grids on the walls and within rails positioned from each other with generous spacing in between. Continuously a dark and deep music is playing in an infinite loop which rounds off the darklands concept and makes it exactly what you might imagine the name to be.
