アレキサンダーマックイーンの過去と未来をつなげる桜 2015春夏 Alexander McQueen’s future sakura in bloom SS 2015
アレキサンダーマックイーンのショーを生で見る事はずっと前から抱いていた長年の夢でした。嬉しい事にその夢は思ったよりもはやく実現させることができたのだけど、あの経験は今でも胸に響く素晴らしい瞬間で、くすんだ現実とは到底比べられない。ただの服と言ってしまえばそれまでだけど、ランウェイ上で繰り広げられるあの15分間は浮世離れした美しい世界だった。 マックイーンの生でコレクションを鑑賞したのは今回が初めてでした。デザイナーのサラバートンに心からお礼を言いたい。エディターの間でも席を確保するのが大困難な最近のコレクション事情の中でも、私がショーを見れたのは心から感謝している！ 2015春夏のマックイーンは見応え抜群だった。だって、馴染みのあるディテールがいろいろ…例えば桜、侍、寿司。（って寿司は冗談！) 最高にモダンなジャポニズムの風を、マックイーンが運んできた It had always been a dream of mine to attend an Alexander McQueen show in person- that dream was dashed quite early on in my career, but even now witnessing a show is a magical experience that can hardly be compared to anything in the realm of dull reality. “It’s just
A trip inside the mind of avantgardist Hideki Seo セオヒデキの”ファッション”で”アート”な頭の中を旅できる!?
If you’re a card-carrying fashion freak then you should need no introduction to Hideko Seo. As of now he is still the right-hand man of Azzedine Alaia, so there’s no contesting the level of his technical clothing-making skills. On the flip side, he is also a huge purveyor of making art out of his
Berlin’s Insane Alternative Fashion Week SS 2015 ベルリンの現実領域を超えた BAFWを体験してきた
My plans for a post-fashion month trip to Berlin consisted of making NO plans. It was a total coincidence that a new event called “Berlin Alternative Fashion Week” was being held in the city while I was there. And while I had no intention of spending another week chasing runways, when my friend (an art
High-tech On Air clothing changes at whims like the air ◎最新テクで空気のように変化を身にまとう「on air」が誕生
The city is a tough place, relentless in its aggression, challenges, and pace of change. It’s survival of the fittest out there, and if you can’t keep up then you’ve no chance. And when it comes down to the wire, the last layer of protection from the city that you’ll have is what you’ve got
The secret history of Serge Lutens ◎史上最高のクリエイター、セルジュ ルタンスの秘密背景
So I want to share a story, one that has been inspiring me since it was privately told to me a few years back. It involves one of the most celebrated visionaries in history, Serge Lutens, and how he got started. The story is sprinkled with a message about believing in yourself, and also holding
Tim Walker best work for 2014 so far ◎ティム・ウォーカーの2014最新作品でクリエイタースランプを倒す！
Just like writers get writer’s block, readers can suffer from apathy and lack of inspiration. You can pick up your favorite magazine, but sometimes the fashion pages just don’t speak to you. The weekend is upon us and perhaps it’s time to refresh and get inspired. If there’s anyone in our industry who can do

The SOEN Awards is a long-standing design competition in Tokyo, now in it’s 88th iteration.

I wish it got
2D to 3D Fashion Illustrator Jumpei Kawamura ◎ 常識を超えた 2D が超リアルに見える 3Dファッションイラストレーター川村淳平
You may have heard of a documentary called “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” which explores not just delicious raw fish, but more about the care and obsessive detail that goes into craftwork for Japanese artists (in food as in fashion, natch). I have met one such genius man, Jumpei Kawamura, whose minute attention to
