New York Men's Fashion Week Expected in July?

I think all the men's American designers deserve the pertinent timing for fashion week.

And those voices has been heard by CFDA and acknowledged.

Now CFDA are trying to hold men's fashion week in July for Spring/Summer collection before finalizing our order which makes way sense.

Until now, we have had Spring/Summer runway show in September when we already take care of its order a month ago and mood for aftermath vacation. The show was to enjoy and worry-free entertainment festivities for everyone except designers.

Designers has been spending all the big cash they have saved just for 15 minutes show and no system to collect them afterwards.

Honestly I have pointed out this issue many times, but my little bird voice was not enough, and I am really happy for many designers/friends for this consideration.


I really hope this will make happen.  


By the way, here is the Todd Snyder Spring/Summer15' runway show in September.

Thanksgiving holiday in Joshua Tree

For Thanksgiving, we spent time in wild west at Joshua Tree.

Here is the brief explanation about this place;

"The higher and cooler Mojave Desert is the special habitat of Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua tree for which the park is named. It occurs in patterns from dense forests to distantly spaced specimens. In addition to Joshua tree forests, the western part of the park includes some of the most interesting geologic displays found in California's deserts. The dominant geologic features of this landscape are hills of bare rock, usually broken up into loose boulders.

The rock formations of Joshua Tree National Park were formed more than 100 million years ago from the cooling of magma beneath the surface into monzogranie, with roughly rectangular joints.       Groundwater then filtered through the joints to erode away the corners and edges to create rounded stones, and flash floods washed away covering ground to create piles of boulders. These prominent outcrops are known as inselbergs. "

apology, they are quotes from Wikipedia..... better that way.

breath taking, overwhelming, we were exact opposite side of where we live.

plus, we cooked awesome turkey at national park on thanksgiving day.

now I am convinced that I have not seen nothing yet about this country.
I am on my way to discover deep side of wild wild west. Join me?


This is how you start a day

Taku Obata Bust a Move at JONATHAN LEVINE GALLERY

I went to see the opening night of Mr.Taku Obata's first solo exhibit at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in Chelsea, New York.

I was amazed by his dynamic wooden sculptures of b-boys, break dancers with styles.

They are unique and show how Obata has a precise understanding of how we bust a move!

The life size sculptures poses the complete breakdance battle with very bright color jumpsuits and I was overwhelmed by his wood carving techniques and perfection.

You need to check him out.


This is PV from NIKE about Taku.

FEIT store opening




FEIT


FEIT is opening its first New York retail store. Please join us for a private viewing on November 19th from 6 - 9 pm, corner of Prince and Bowery.

The design of the space is a collaborative effort between Tull Price and interactive artist Jordana Maisie titled Raw Elements of Construction. The space is made up of raw materials that represent the FEIT ethos and process - Baltic birch, concrete, raw timber, and hanging leathers are featured. Upon entering the store, cascading planes emerge from the existing architecture and a split-level display showcases the FEIT collection. The layout allows for a revealing look behind the scenes to where the FEIT showroom and repairs is located, and installation displays connect the customer to the shoemaking process
私が、大好きなシューズ・ブランド、FEIT.
明日、NOLITAにショップがオープンします。
日本では、DOVER STREET GINZA, BIOTOP, WISMにて、展開します。

    An accomplishment for any brand, Saturdays NYC has opened its fifth location in Nagoya, Japan. The 1,485 square-foot store, which will be the third Japanese location for the New York-based lifestyle brand, opened its doors in early October. Situated in Nagoya’s fashionable Sakae neighborhood, the store consists of two levels. The first level is complete with an upfront espresso bar, surfboard rack, and a carefully curated selection of art books. The expansive second level stocks the brand’s ready-to-wear collection, lifestyle accessories, surf gear, and artwork. To add some uniqueness to the storefront, Saturdays commissioned friend and designer Devon Turnbull of OJAS to create a one-of-a-kind speaker that hangs from the ceiling. On the second story, a massive window provides the whitewashed space with an abundance of natural light, creating a sun-drenched feel by day and moonlit ambiance by night.

    Gatorade | Made in New York ft. Derek Jeter

    How may more games left for Mr.Derek Jeter?
    New York Yankees captain will leave game after this season.

    I am not sure If I will be able to make it to witness the last game, but I want to say thank you from wherever I might be.

    I came to town in 1999, so it must not be too long after Derek joins Yankees.
    Many Japanese players played at the stadium and came to see it. But I came here to see not only Matsui, Irabu, Kuroda, Ichiro, but always my eyes were  for Derek Jeter.

    He has always been part of games and played as captain.

    Thank you Derek Jeter and here is a praising video from Gatorade. Very cool.
