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
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.

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,
Not playing around; Caroline Bosmans’ avantgarde kids fashion ◎絶対に大人が着たくなるアヴァンギャルドなキッズ服
Were you happy with the clothes you wore as a child? When my mom talks about my “crazy” outfits, she’s referring to the days where she allowed me to dress myself, usually ending up with a mishmash of colors and patterns too outrageous for her to take credit for. If only a designer like Caroline
Trip on this acid-colorful collabo by Etro with Mika Ninagawa ◎蜷川実花 x ETROのコラボでトリップする鮮やかなエデン楽園へ
