Tastemakers

Stealth is wealth.  There is a certain allure uncommon pieces have that makes them quite a novelty. Scarcity transcends into uniqueness and with this comes their most sought after attractions. They become the most-wanted and the must-haves until they have reached a certain level of popularity and diffuse into the vast landscape called mainstream.
A paradise of rare discoveries recently opened at Power Plant Mall in Rockwell called Cura V.  Founded by Emi Jorge, Kai Lim, Nicole Whisenhunt, Trisha Calma and Camille Ongpauco, this treasure trove of rarities is a lifestyle concept store which houses an eclectic mix of under the radar brands, up and coming designers together with established artists in fashion and design.
