really enjoyed this article about how Banana Republic started as a safari brand http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/banana-republic-was-mainstream-fashion-it-was-weirdly-wonderful-safari-brand-170059 They also mentioned this guy's blog which has a ton of pictures and stuff from his colle...

shout out to Issey Miyake for receiving top honors for his contributions to French fashion. 77 years old and still on top http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/17/fashion/issey-miyake-japan-exhibition/index.html http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/160316143112-issey-miyake-laughing-medium-plus-169....

odarek I am thrilled you got the package and like the stuff but as I mentioned in that rep comment I am beyond disappointed that those two things don't fit perfectly. I was really proud of finding each of them. PLUS I spent no less than an hour trying them on, measuring everything and comparing fits...

Christian Dada is really good. Usually overpriced but good. It's usually paired with Dressed/Undressed, another brand that came out of Harajuku at about the same time

Auralee AW16 Auralee is legit! Coincidentally just bought a knit from them https://40.media.tumblr.com/3b240a968eb76641f41125a5e945e45d/tumblr_o40i9vcpMb1ujnez0o1_1280.jpg It's the most amazing knit I've ever owned. Nubby cashmere and smells like puppies. Also handled some of their outerwear (simpl...

Yeah if you wanna set up trades/sales here go for it. I'm really sorry about the sizing mistakes, it's completely my fault. I'm new to finding clothes that fit people who aren't me so I'm still learning. I've been actively trying to get the sizing right since I started and every time someone mention...

dunno if this'll be of any interest to anyone but found a ten-year old video some Italian store took while visiting the showrooms of UC and Carpe Diem

#defendpeasantlolita rare scans of Suzuki Takayuki stuff in some magazine, circa 1999 http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/g0lden_b0i/10542047/30031/30031_original.jpg http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/g0lden_b0i/10542047/30445/30445_original.jpg http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/g0lden_b0i/10542047/30537/30537...

Incredibly happy to see all the posts already!! Lots of packages should be finding homes soon so I'm excited to see more pics! Sorry for the nightmare-quality photos, but I was super pumped to get my package today! Hope you enjoy that book, it's called 'black cat lovers' and it's by and for people o...

Hoping most people get their packages this week, sent three out today. Nearly done with Schiaparelli's package, been looking for one thing for a week now. Sick Boy and CMYK are next up!

, did you get your package yet? I haven't checked tracking in a minute

I handled a Fear of God MA-1 for the first time today while looking for clothes for packages. I know a lot of streetwear dudes really like this brand and there was an editorial in SENSE last month or something, plus Barneys carries it so I figured it had to be pretty nice. It was this one http://ima...

somewhat related, but shoutout to Facetasm for being the first Japanese finalist for the LVMH prize yo frfr Stoked on that. Mikio Sakabe was nominated as well, she's another Japanese designer and does some pretty cool womenswear. She didn't make it to the finals but imo she deserved the nomination ...

Right so as he mentioned earlier I was the guinea pig for the trasparenti Mystery Fun Present™. Dang son, I'm surprised it got to you so fast. Super stoked that it got there safe and sound! Thanks a lot for your patience. It's worth mentioning that shipping on this package ended up being more expen...

e X amine Y our Z ipper Zipper talk! Zipper pulls, tabs, deets, probs, info. Post pics of your favorite zips/pulls/fasteners YKK http://mbablogs.anderson.ucla.edu/.a/6a00e5538644e288340168eaf34e95970c-pi probably the most well-known of the branded zips, YKK is a Japanese company that's been the indu...

Yoooo nice I'm stoked it got to you so fast! Looks sick mang, that Soph piece was a legitimately exciting find for me, the details are super cool (double RiRi front zip, arm pocket like a bomber jacket, etc.). Enjoy! Today I shipped out a TON of stuff. Taylorswift's is going out tomorrow and then I'...

can anyone tell me anything about Gaijin Made? see a lot of cool-seeming stuff on Rak but don't know nothing about it It's related to the Hollywood Ranch Market family (Blue Blue, Okura, etc.). Lots of basics and wearable items with some cool twists on standard items. It's a Japanese brand, so it's...

Sooooo good news and bad news. My American bank account (which is where Paypal sends the money I receive for packages, so I can withdraw it at ATMs) isn't allowing me to withdraw money right now. Therefore, I couldn't ship today. To be fair, it's still the weekend in the states so there may be some ...

The 100% white casting with the blatent references to traditional tribal clothing and accessories seems to ask questions about appropriation and post-colonialism in fashion. Junya's designs seem to deliberately go past "flintstone" and into mockery. I've given this show a lot of thought a...

You're both right, of course. Astrochimp mentioned something similar when I faced similar shipping woes with his packages but I thought I had this whole thing better understood. I've now shipped a grand total of 5 packages from Japan - including the 3 I just sent out the other day - so I'm still pre...

here's the link to that blog i was photographed for. he added a few more pictures and i feel like a real cool dude. http://unevenbata.blogspot.jp/2016_03_01_archive.html for what it's worth I've completely cut back on my Grailed usage since I left America. The selection isn't bad but that offer mech...

Some updates: I sent out Alby, Michaelmao, and Stolsdos' packages! They should be there this week. Here's the bad news - I got screwed on shipping http://i.imgur.com/RuLgonQl.jpg Basically, although I thought I had a handle on the costs I still ended up paying over 16,000 yen in EMS shipping for the...

stolsdos and michaelmao 's packages gettin sent out tomorrow! http://i.imgur.com/2Imjp4S.jpg Got lots of folks jumpin in so with some free time in the horizon I should be able to collect stuff for the packages relatively soon. Making some headway on everyone else's package and should hopefully be a...

before i get involved in this care package madness and start combing the racks for deals to send to cool people I just wanna mention that today something wild happened. I went to a local shop to peep a small designer showcase. The manager thought I looked cool in the clothes and insisted I put some ...

I love clothes and I love shopping. Shopping for me, shopping for you, shopping for my friends who are tired of getting gifts from me. I love it. I even love window shopping (though I don't like shopping for windows). Here in Japan there are tons of great deals, cool items, and excellent clothes tha...

been listening to this for the past few days
