Lujiazui’s brand new L+ Mall is yet another addition to the dozens of existing high-end shopping centers across the city. One of the main highlights of the property is the first Shanghai outpost of upscale French department store Galeries Lafayette, which occupies the first few floors of the mall and features products from dozens of local and international design labels catering to a wide range of styles and budgets.

Located on the fourth floor, Akenz is a multi-brand concept focusing on European streetwear brands. Highlights among the 20 plus labels they carry include Krakatau, a St. Petersburg- and Amsterdam-based label known for their functional techwear made with heat-sensitive and water-repellant fabrics. One of the new additions to Akenz’s portfolio is Mosais Paris, an indie label that produces industrial chic silver jewelry pieces. Also from the same city, army-themed apparel and accessories from Defend Paris are prominently highlighted at the store.

In the vast selection of sneakers, you’ll find collaborations between Casbia and Champion, as well as Sankuanz’s special edition redesigns of several Puma classic models launched earlier this year.
