The September 2010 issue of POPEYE looks to be a cracker, although i haven’t personally purchased it, the scans keep coming through and they don’t disappoint. This editorial piece is titled ‘Tokyo Power Shops’, highlighting some of the top shopping locations throughout Tokyo. Some of these you may know, some of these you may not, but the list includes vendor, …
As i was checking out Bleu de Paname’s website, on their blog they had posted up an editorial/catalog piece that one of their Japanese retailers did. Le Globe is a Tokyo based store, in the Shibuya-Ku area to be exact. These guys seem to be pretty innovative with their lookbooks, featuring labels from the store (a good promotion tool).

Everyones been going mad over the Burberry Prorsum range for SS11 which was shown on the runway a few months back in Paris. It even looks like i’ve been given the bug, i’m sure a few editorials have already cropped up on the site.
Don’t worry, i will try my best to not make you sick of it. If you’re interested …
Quite an old editorial for Tarzan Magazine in Japan (November 2009 to be exact), but i wanted to showcase it as it brings up some ideas for fall 2010. The good thing about menswear is that you can always take aspects from previous years, as nothing really fades that quickly. Especially now as most men stick to classic and timeless …
I was going to post this up earlier this morning, but got slightly distracted with other work, plus it’s a bank holiday here, so it’s been a bit more chilled out than usual. I think a few other blogs beat me to it on this one, which we sourced thanks to coutequecoute, if only i was earlier.
But hey, to …
Scott Schuman has been snapping away in Tokyo, what’s come from it is some overall interesting style photography.

Scott visited the Bunka Fashion College, taking pictures …
Kenchi Design created this informative short film, which is animated, about the Japan and how strange it is. They take different aspects of the culture and intertwine stats with imagery to create a picture of what it’s like over there in Japan. There is a Japanese version, but this one is from the foreigner’s point of view.
I didn’t know most …
Austrian photographer, Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek, created this series of photographs for Waterfall Magazine called Japan Taxi Driver. In the photos we see Japanese taxi drivers taking a nap, although they look half dead, no taxi drivers were hurt in the proceedings. Founded in 2006, Waterfall Magazine makes connections between daily life, artists and universal experiences. They want to emphasise …
Creep was founded in Osaka, Japan by Kiyofumi Awai in 1997. In 2008, Hiroshi Awai, based in Toronto, Canada, took over from his older brother as men’s creative director. Hiroshi is now taking the line in a whole new direction, which is probably why they have just emerged on the scene, combining innovative Japanese design with his passion for the …
Engineered Garments were recently featured in the March issue of Japanese magazine Huge. It shows looks at the EG Spring/Summer 2010 collection shot by Adrian Gaut somewhere out on a New England beach. The style was all done by Daiki Suzuki.
I really like the setting of the photos, perfectly suits the brand and their current collection.
