riot standard 1fl. No.6, Lane 74 sec.2 hankou st. taipei, taiwan +886 2 2375 3916 riot.twn@msa.hinet.net Hours: 15:00-22:00 www.riotstandard.com ----------------------------------------- Review and photos by: JC Riot Standard is hidden in a dark alley in Ximen, Taipei. Ximen is an old-time movie theatre area now with a lot of cheap teenage fashion items (you can easily find fake bape here). In a way, it reassembles Takeshita Dori Street in Harajuku, Tokyo, you find many Taiwanese teenage hipsters here. There are a few streets off the main area with quite a few interesting shops, which less people know about, which we call it Inner Ximen (Like Ura-Harajuku which means inner Harajuku; it is the cradle of Japanese street fashion scenes) We chose Riot Standard to be the first shop that we review here in inner Ximen.
