Joji rose to global status as a designer when Lady Gaga wore his mask on the cover for her Monster album. But rather than get ahead of
SISTER BOUTIQUE RELEASES COFFEE (OR, APOTHECARY) TABLE BOOK FEATURING ERIKO NAKAO
渋谷SISTERの５周年記念でナカオエリコらによるフォトシューティング写真集などを発売！ One of my favorite stores in Tokyo is “Sister” which sits above CANDY in Shibuya and often mistaken as a sub-branch of that shop. But in actuality, they are totally different stores with separate buying teams and sales people, and very different atmospheres (unless “unique” can be an atmospheric descriptor….if so then they both
