Japanese brand kolor isn’t really a company that I’m experienced with, I’ve seen their stuff crop up over a few seasons but nothing has enticed me as such. It could be because of the way they present themselves through their lookbooks and promotional material, I see it as a higher end brand who plays on different colours and likes to jazz up the clothing.

Yeah I know we’re late on this post, I’ve probably got some explaining to do.

Japan is known for its interesting clothing selections, one independent shop that jumped out at me recently is called Mr. OLDMAN which is, I’m guessing, quite tongue in cheek as a name.
