Chanel’s most surprising bags ever, from shopping carts to Bibles ◎ 買物カゴからフラフープまで、シャネルのびっくり系バッグを振返ってみる
Chanel AW 2014-15 Handbags. They’re a necessity, but they are possibly the most boring accessory in the history of luxury consumer culture. While new sizes and colors come out, since the beginning of time they have generally been the same shape (rectangle), the same material (leather) and, if you buy well enough, will last a lifetime anyway. Bags are an
Fashion reveals the monsters within every one of us ◎ 今日の美学：モードは私達の心を明かせるの？
Two portraits capturing two eras in fashion, both by Irving Penn. We have the infamous VOGUE cover from 1950 on the right, and a portrait of an Undercover look from 2006 on the left. Can high-fashion say anything about humanity? They are telling the story of our civilization, even at 50 years apart… アーヴィングペンの二つのポートレイトは20世紀と21世紀の二つの時代でを象徴している。右は賛否両論ある1950年ヴォーグの表紙で、左は同じヴォーグに登場したアンダーカバーの2006年のルック。ハイファッションは私達人間に何かを伝えることが出来るかとよく言われるけれど、このポートレイトたちは、50年たった今でも私達の文明に対してメッセージを発していると思うの。
Yohji Yamamoto goes chaotic OTAKU for Fall 2014 ◎ヲタク化したヨージヤマモト2014年秋冬
Seen most often in self-professed “otaku” (geek) designer collections in Tokyo, digital pop-collages are a huge thing. Avatars, pixels, characters, eyeballs, cosplay, pop-objects and analog media motifs are often plastered together in a way that purposely looks like a job done on MS Paint. So what an incredibly unexpected surprise to see Paris’ adopted grandfather
Some people still think Superdry is Japanese. Seriously… ◎ 幻的なでたらめジャパニーズブランド「極度乾燥しなさい」
I don’t know where to start. Especially since I had pushed “Superdry” out of the memory cortex in my brain so that I would never have to think of it again. Perhaps I’m jonesin’ to lay into it now because at New York Fashion Week this month someone actually asked me how well doing Superdry
Make a statement without stating a word: le Specs sunglasses by Craig & Karl ◎ 口にしなくても言葉を持つステートメント的なサングラスが日本上陸
Statement sunglasses make statements and my oversized frames are real loudmouths. They spew “Don’t talk to me, don’t even think it” or “I didn’t sleep last night, don’t judge”. And if they’re pitch-black lenses, they’ll sputter, “I can’t see anything so I might run into you. Move outta the way or get mowed!” If you’re
Junk Culture peaks as fashion with MOSCHINO 2014 by Jeremy Scott ◎ファッションにまで染み込むジャンクカルチャー：モスキーノ by ジェレミースコット2014秋冬
True story; just last week I ate a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries for the first time in 8 years. Hot damn, I call that being on the &%$#”! TIP! It was delicious and warm and didn’t make me sick like I expected. You’d think there would be more food establishments open in New York at
What’s so great about fashion week anyway? NYFW 2014 ◎コレクションのファッションウィークって何が良い訳？2014年NYFW版
Monclerの圧倒的な発表 Fashion weeks are a ringer where you’re passed through the psychological stages of euphoria and denial all in one fell swoop; This show is going to be AMAZING!!…that was awful, right? It’s not just me? It was awful, right???? God, I hope it doesn’t become a trend. I look SO good in this outfit,
Cool Tokyo MONO shopping | 買いたくなる個性的でクールなアイテム をリストアップ
Coming off of a week in NYC I have put myself on a no-shopping hiatus (HAHAHAHA who am I kidding). But still, even after falling into one of those internet-holes, this time on online shopping supersite ZOZO, I managed to refrain from purchasing anything. I pride myself on being an excellent shopper, buying on looks
