VOCALOID IDOL HATSUNE MIKU STARS IN EPIC DIGITAL DEATH OPERA “The END” WEARING LOUIS VUITTON IN 2D STYLE
デジタルだって「死」はあるの？ヴォカロイドのアイドル、初音ミクが主演するデジタルオペラ「The END」を見に行ってきた感想と衣装を手がけたLOUIS VUITTONのレセプションをレポート！ Monks famously asked philosophical questions about trees in an empty forest and one hand clapping. How about this: can a person die if they never existed *as we do*? It was the question of the day at the opera for “The END”. When Louis Vuitton announced that they were lending designs for
PHILLIP LIM BRINGS OUT SOME ZIPPY PINK FOR HIS TOKYO ARRIVAL. CASTS KIKO MIZUHARA IN HIS FW CAMPAIGN VIDEO.
ネオンピンクに染まった青山店がデザイナーのフィリップ・リムをVIPパーティーに迎えた。そこでばらしたのは、水原稀子らを起用し、東京でFWキャンペーンを撮影することに！ Phillip Lim brought out the best in Tokyo’s VIP fashion people… as in, I hadn’t seen such a fashionably dressed crowd in a really long time. Tokyo is pretty “cas” and unless one is a celeb or model getting paid to look good at the party, then “getting changed beforehand” just doesn’t really ring

アバンギャルドなシューズはもう封印か？！と思いつつ、このブランドを発見！斬新なデザインながらも、履き心地は妥協しない新ブランド、HEAVY MACHINEをご紹介！ Some magazines and editors and even big designers are TRYING to sell us the story that no-one wants architectural heels anymore.

LET’S DO COFFEE AT ARMANI! NEW EMPORIO ARMANI OPENS WITH SAY LOU LOU, TOKYO’S FIRST ARMANI CAFE
「アルマーニで打ち合わせしよー」なんて、素敵な言葉！表参道の新エンポリオアルマーニ、東京初カフェ同時にオープン！ The Omotesando promenade is like NYC’s Madison Avenue; it’s luxe, expensive, and glitters with glitz. And unlike the NY counterpart it is short with just a 10-minute walk from one end to the other. So if a luxury brand has a spot here, there’s really isn’t much one can do to “grade up”. Except that is,
CHLOE CELEBRATES 60 YEARS WITH A TOKYO BASH THAT PROVES THE ADAGE “YOUNG AT HEART”.
心若くして６０周年記念を祝った「クロエ」が東京で大盛り上がりのパーティーをフランス大使館で開催した！ There has been a deafening lull in the season thus far and that calls for an all-out bash. Good thing then, because it was Chloe’s 60th Anniversary and they were in the mood for partyin’. This wasn’t a call to arms for all fashionistas though, it was rather an intimate “friends-only” gathering at the
