KILLING IT WITH HUMOR: “GROUND ZERO” MAKES FORMAL GUNDAM WEAR, MOCKS DISNEY & CHANEL AND COMES OUT KING.
日本と西欧のポップカルチャーをユーモアで切り裂ける香港 x UK x パリ発ブランド「GROUND ZERO」。フォーマルウェアーにガンダムのプリントも優雅！！ So there’s a weekly Hong Kong-based fashion magazine called KETCHUP and in the summer a few years ago I was looking at a cover that featured a brand called “Ground Zero”. The outfit on it was a white body-conscious dress with a Gundam-like figurine print that was a bit
REDISCOVERING PARIS. OR, HOW TO BE A NOVICE TOURIST IN STYLE, CIRCA 2013. PART 1 of 2
ミーシャ版パリの歩き方２０１３年〜ガイドブックでお馴染みのあんなところ、そして今まで聞いたことのなかったこんなところ〜 パート１ I don’t consider myself a traveler at ALL. I mean, I had illusions of grandeur when I was in college that I would have a job that allowed me to travel extensively, being a jet-setter like those people in the Michael Kors ads but with jucier style. And yet I was lucky to
THE WONDER-STRANGE OF WHITE: VISITNG THE MARTIN MARGIELA-DESIGNED HOTEL-RESTAURANT IN PARIS.
不思議かつ素敵なホワイトな世界に染まるマルタン・マルジェラによるデザインされたホテルとバーに訪れてきました。 Unless you are a die-hard fan of Martin Margiela, you probably wouldn’t know that he actually designed a hotel and restaurant in Paris. I wanted to check it out, so when I was in Paris I ventured over to Champs des Elysees and a small sidestreet where the hotel, appropriately called “The Maison des
GO-GO-GO-GO VIVIENNE WESTWOOD STILL HOT AS EVER IN TOKYO.
ヴィヴィアンウェストウッドは東京特別開催アクセサリーパーティーで永遠のホットさを明確に。 “Vivienne Westwood was the first brand I ever bought!” reminisced Momo as we made our way to the fall/winter accessories and Docomo mobile phone launch party in Tokyo last week. A huge party to celebrate the supposed afterthoughts of a high-end brand line may seem a bit odd, but in Japan the Westwood accessories
COMMITTING THE SIN OF ALL SINS: WRITING ABOUT A SHOW I NEVER SAW. DIOR 2013 SS, VIA PURGATORY.
このレポートで罪を犯してしまっているから。ディオール2013年春夏。天からの罰を待っているぅ！ I am doing something really bad, something that I said I would NEVER do, because I have integrity, dammit, and those of us with any integrity left in the blogoshpere and journalist-phere combined need to uphold SOME semblance in moral object to reviews. But I’m doing it. I am writing a report on a
FINSK SHOES ARE UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE SEEN POUNDING OUR EARTH’S PAVEMENT. THE “PROJECT” AND “SKIN” SERIES IN TOKYO?!
地球上の物体とは思えないほどの美しさ、FINSKのシューズが展開するプロジェクトと、SKINシリーズが日本でお目見えする。 For the past decade, artistic shoes have been the call of the fashion pack (and then made known to the masses thanks to McQueen’s Armadillo shoe, then trickled down to the likes of fast-fashion shoe label Jeffrey Campbell… but I digress). It’s practically a uniform, and a beautiful heel may be the only thing
