ネオンピンクに染まった青山店がデザイナーのフィリップ・リムをVIPパーティーに迎えた。そこでばらしたのは、水原稀子らを起用し、東京でFWキャンペーンを撮影することに！ Phillip Lim brought out the best in Tokyo’s VIP fashion people… as in, I hadn’t seen such a fashionably dressed crowd in a really long time. Tokyo is pretty “cas” and unless one is a celeb or model getting paid to look good at the party, then “getting changed beforehand” just doesn’t really ring

アバンギャルドなシューズはもう封印か？！と思いつつ、このブランドを発見！斬新なデザインながらも、履き心地は妥協しない新ブランド、HEAVY MACHINEをご紹介！ Some magazines and editors and even big designers are TRYING to sell us the story that no-one wants architectural heels anymore.

MASSIVE GLOBAL CREATIVE PROJECT “CANDYCOOL by FURLA” KICKS OFF IN TOKYO WITH ME! DESIGNING 2.5D CHAOS ON A CANDY BAG.
フルラの #CANDYCOOL 世界規模クリエイティブなプロジェクトの第一戦は東京で！そして、なんと私とコラボ！！「2.5次元」的なカオスな東京をあの人気キャンディーバッグで表現してみたら世が賑わいた？！ What IS creativity??? For me, it’s having one foot in the trends and one foot outside that box. It’s imagination, it’s surprise, and it makes you feel EMOTION. It can also be strange and draw criticism for being too avantgarde. All of this is creativity to me. クリエイティビティとは何ぞや？私にとってのクリエイティビティとは、トレンドを踏襲しながらもそれと相反する要素を融合させるイマジネーション、サプライズ精神、そしてひいては人々の感情を揺さぶるものだと考えている。時には風変わりだと揶揄され、アヴァンギャルドすぎると批判を浴びるものがあるが、これらも私にとっては立派なクリエイティビティなのだ。 So when FURLA

新宿のルイヴイットンを通りかかったらそこで出会えたのは巨大な昆虫たち？！アートとファッションとウィンドーディスプレイの関係。 It’s GW and things are kind of slow so I took the RARE opportunity to half-retreat into silence and remodel and redecorate my apartment. The main urge behind this is that my clothing wouldn’t fit on my measly rack anymore so I fisted the “buy” button on a closet system online that spans
