In The News: Fighting Eel to open up shop in Kailua

Pacific Business News reports that local clothing company Fighting Eel will be opening a store in Kailua, Oahu. A specific date was not given. The Kailua store will be the company's second boutique - the first being in Honolulu's Chinatown district.

My favorite look from Fighting Eel's Summer 2011 Collection

The brand's designers Rona Bennett and Lan Chung are prime examples of local designers doing it big! Not only can their simple, yet sexy dresses and tops be found in hundreds of boutiques around the US, but also are have been worn by such celebs as Paris Hilton and Eva Longoria.

Tidbit Extra: It doesn't stop there! Did you know that Chinatown t-shirt shop Tee Tee Bar is also owned and curated by this dynamic duo??!! (Not sure if this is old news for most, especially being that the two shops are right next to each other on Bethel Street, but I sure was impressed to find this out recently!)
