Colourful Koenji Photographs

By Rebecca On October 12, 2011 · Add Comment

I’m sure long-time readers of Tokyo Telephone know that, along with Japanese fashion, we have huge soft-spot for Koenji – we love it so much, we’ve even relocated Telephone Towers there! I think it’s the great mix of old and new, lots of independent shops and a real sense of the creative spirit that we can’t get enough of, and it seems we’re not the only ones…

Koenji is regarded as one of Tokyo’s best up-and-coming (but it’s already here!) places, and I do strongly urge anyone visiting Tokyo to add it to [...]

Legenda A/W 2011-12 – The City Rockers

By Samuel On October 11, 2011 · 9 Comments

Tokyo Street Mode is an odd phrase thrown around quite often these days in men’s fashion, and even though it sounds a bit of an odd turn of phrase it does do a good job of describing this, the most important shift that has occurred of late in the world of 109 Mens and beyond.  I suppose the introduction of the word “mode” (broadly meaning “high fashion influences” in this case) into what people have been calling “street style” for decades does not seem such a big deal, especially as high fashion has always been drawing from [...]

Junya Watanabe – Spring Summer 2012 at Paris Fashion Week

By Rebecca On October 10, 2011 · 2 Comments

I’m kind of sort of trying not to use words like ‘solid’ and ‘quality’ (of course with an Essex accent!) when describing Junya Watanabe’s latest collection… but it’s a solid quality offering full of the things that I like best about Mr. W; edgy flourishes, great cuts and some incredibly wicked leather jackets. Season on season, I’m becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Junya Watanabe.

There was something almost of the jungle in the imagery created on the catwalk. Models wore vast feathered headpieces (if I were Macaronic I’d be flattered), and [...]

Sister A/W 2011-12 Styling from Fake Tokyo

By Samuel On October 9, 2011 · Add Comment

After last week’s look at the genius of Candy, the other side of Fake Tokyo – Sister have declared their hand through their muse the Japanese socialite Eriko Nakao.  The lookbook for this winter is a stylistic leap from the previous photo shoots and fits the inherent edge that is a big part of the Fake Tokyo experience.  Eriko Nakao is and always has been an obvious match for Sister and she brings with her a trademarked (and tumblr friendly) Chrome Hearts rock chick meets fashion in an alley vibe that feels unbelievably fresh in a city where [...]

Juliette et Justine – The Lolita in Winter

By Rebecca On October 8, 2011 · Add Comment

Even though I’m not a lolita fashionista myself, there’s just something about the style that keep drawing me back. Lolita fashion has been on my mind a lot recently, what with relocating Telephone Towers and sorting through our lives & junk, thinking about how far we’ve come over the past three years together. Maybe it’s because I’m feeling slightly nostalgic, and because lolita was the first specifically Japanese fashion that I fell in love with as a young teen – I think lolita will always have a place in my head and my heart as [...]
