宇宙的な美造で有名な建築家ザハ ハディッドがいよいよファッションアイテムまで揃うZHDショップをオープン！ Even though it’s kind of unfair to trained fashion designers, I always think it’s pretty cool when an architect designs fashion pieces.

IT MAY BE BASIC BUT IT ISN’T BORING. UNIQLO’s LIFEWEAR REFORMS THE BASIC WITH PANACHE
人生はベーシックを着たって、けっしてクリエイティブにいけないことはない、でしょ？それを謳うユニクロのLIFEWEARコーラス “A ‘basic bitch’ likes those normal brands and wears them all the time because that’s some basic shit.” That’s girlie rapper Kreayshawn wisely warning us on the trepidations of being basically boring. 「ベーシック女ってそこらへんによくあるブランドが大好きでそればっかり毎日きてるでしょ。だって、くそベーシックなんだから。」今アメリカで、basic＝つまらない、を謳うガールズラッパーのKreayshawnは、彼女らしい言葉でそう警告している。 But hey, can basics also be cool and creative? Honestly, unless you’re God or Grace Jones, “basic” is

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
