Cune – A/W 2012-13 Collection – Tokyo Zombie Chic

By Samuel On August 22, 2012 · 2 Comments

Cune is a Japanese brand whose existence I am eternally grateful for, but am myself very unlikely to wear.  Their high concept collections have to be seen to be believed, and indeed when I saw the installation for this particular collection last Tokyo Fashion Week I seriously doubted it would enter production, but as ever designer Hironori Yasuda’s charismatic forthrightness that results in anti-sales which are advertised as 0% off and deliberately awkward coordinates has payed off with this all set to hit retail in the next couple of days.  The concept this time round is “Intestines and the Whites of One’s Eyes” which [...]

Tokyo Vintage – Nude Trump Shibuya – Part 2

By Samuel On August 20, 2012 · 4 Comments

Following on from our glimpse of the vintage fashion chaos that waits for you inside Nude Trump Shibuya yesterday, today we thought we would zoom right in and try to pick out some of the individual parts that have made this vintage boutique a mecca for Japanese street and party fashion aficionados since the 90s.  Personally I think there are two sides to the shop and its customers – costumes and the exceptional everyday, hence you have one group who come to the shop actually willing to buy some of [...]

Tokyo Vintage – Nude Trump Shibuya – The Party Never Stops

By Samuel On August 19, 2012 · 2 Comments

Synonymous with the Tokyo party scene by virtue of its location beneath the equally iconic Trump Room club space, Nude Trump in Shibuya has been furnishing Shibuya’s fashionistas with glamorously gaudy vintage garb for well over a decade and can lay claim to being one of the first trendsetters who defined how vintage fashion would be delivered in Tokyo.  This delivery comes down to saturation, re-interpretation and trying to break through the self-imposed barrier of a costume as inherently unfashionable, after-all in the context of Tokyo something like an American marching band uniform is free from its origins, or at the very [...]

Bunny Bissoux – Powder Pink Magic – Exhibition in Kata, Ebisu

By Samuel On August 18, 2012 · 3 Comments

Bunny Bissoux’s first ever exhibition in Japan kicked off last night at the recently opened Kata Gallery in Ebisu with a live painting performance featuring the performance troupe Group A.  It will run to the 31st so you have a good two weeks to see it in person, and I am sure you will fall in love with her quirky, cute and occasionally creepy world that won her the chance to exhibit at this fantastic new hub for the Tokyo art scene.  Her work walks the line between illustration and art, in that individually her work has more in [...]

Mastermind Japan A/W 2012-13 Collection – New Order

By Samuel On August 16, 2012 · Add Comment

Masaaki Homma is clearly in the mood to celebrate the fact that his luxury brand Mastermind Japan only has two seasons left before its planned termination next S/S 2013 season which will actually be shown before Tokyo Fashion Week in a celebrity packed runway show this September.  What we can expect to see then is anyone’s guess seeing as this is a brand that has broken records with prices and included real diamonds in their labels, but for the penultimate season, which will go on sale this Saturday the 18th, Mastermind Japan are going for a greatest hits package that [...]
