The Cubao eXperience

Vintage, Art, Antiques, Food and Fashion at its Best
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I first heard of Cubao X for their custom made shoes and antique shops way back in college. And as for my appetite with anything to do with fashion, I scoured my way through Cubao and found an enchanting haven of art galleries, shoes, vintage items, novelty shops and a quaint authentic Italian restaurant named Bellin’s. I paid a visit last week and Cubao Expo is still an interesting stop to appreciate local art, indie music, vintage items and unique fashion pieces. A go-to-place if you’re looking for custom made shoes, pop art, antiques, vintage lovers, art gallery junkie and a fashion seeker like me.
Vintage Madness at Brave New World
In this lane is an obscure store named Brave New World that houses Vintage items from the 60's & 70's
It's like raiding your dad's closet
I have a penchant for vintage items and stepping inside this secluded store is like entering your mom and dad’s walk in closet. Brave New World is like stepping into some sort of time warp! Vintage Fred Perry’s, Rayban’s, hippie accessories, bowling shirts, bags and tons of iconic fashion in those good ole’ hippie days. While some items can be a bit pricey, Brave New World offers a payment plan where you can place your downpayment and pay it in full once you get your cash. Pretty worth it once you spot the item you’re looking for. One of the best parts in this store is the guy manning it since he looked like he just stepped out from some 70′s local sitcom.
An Awesome, awesome find indeed.
Bought a vintage "flower power" dress from the 70's
Blast from the Past
Notice that the guy manning the store is wearing a vintage Fred Perry shirt
I liked this dress too
impressive merchandising
a gorgeous pair
A shady matter
Timeless and quirky sneakers from various brands
I fell in love with this pair of high top Fred Perry sneakers form the 70's

you finally stepped in one of my favorite spots in the metro. they have lots of stuff you’ll love looking at every time coz they’re so fun, quirky and just uniquely different. that explains also the people who go there. you should go there at night, and bring with you your camera. if you think you see fashionistas in the clubs, you’ll see real artists there. and it’s so chill coz no matter what they wear you’ll see them sit on the sides of the street drinking their chill beer and smoking their fave cigarette (the two things i can”t have anytime soon). watch a free film too at Mogwai and enjoy their choco lava cake. mmmmmm. muy delicioso! hope we can hang out there after work
