RIP James Bond









He is my 007.

I grew up by watching the Live and die, The man with the golden gun, The spy who loved me, Moonraker, For your eyes only, Octopussy, A view to kill.....

I was just over 10 years old and old enough to understand the spy movies and watched many time especially Moonraker and For your eyes only. I loved the soundtracks and my parents bought me the cassette tapes.

Thank you for inspiring me wanting to be a spy and I was pretty great pretending one.

RIP, Sir Roger Moore

NOAH

NOAH NYC




Noah is an American men's clothing brand founded by Brendon Babenzien, based out of its flagship store on 195 Mulberry St. in Soho, New York City. Brendon’s free-thinking vision has long been at the heart of the movement merging the rebellious vitality of skate, surf, and music cultures with an innovative appreciation of classic menswear. Noah was created to realize this vision fully, in uncompromising pursuit of quality, integrity, and originality.
As a brand, Noah seeks to take a stand against many of the appalling practices of the fashion industry. Our clothes are made in countries, mills and factories where tradition, expertise and human dignity take precedence over the bottom line. We donate portions of our profits to causes we believe in. We speak out on issues we find important, and try to help give voice to the people and organizations we care about. We do this humbly, but with a firm belief that a responsible brand is a healthy one; that putting our values on the line pushes us to do our best.
The interests and influences that inspire our clothing fall under a large, inclusive, cross-generational umbrella. Our ideas come as much from the possibilities we see in fabrics and designs as our commitment to living active, engaged lifestyles. We believe in doing things our own way, with conviction, according to principles we determine ourselves. That’s the definition of punk rock to us, and we’re interested in the endless ways people from all walks of life manifest this attitude. We invite you to join us, both in our flagship store and online, and tell us how you do it. 

今、自分が一番注目をしているニューヨーク・ブランド、NOAH

洋服屋なのに一切トレンドをフォローしない姿勢、考えがあり、今起きている様々なグローバルな問題を真正面から捉え、ストレートなメッセージを商品を通じて発信している。また売上の一部は、問題解決に必要とする関連団体などに寄付を実践している。

創設者のBrendonは、元SUPREMEのcreative directorという経歴から、NOAHもストリート、スケーターブランドという誤解されがちだが、方向性は違う方向を向いている気がします。

ブランドが立ち上がってから、まだ数シーズンしか経っていないこともあり、プリントTシャツ、パーカー、キャップなどの商材が目立ちますが、細かな所に目を配ると、NOAHらしい大人な提案が次々と目に飛び込んできます。基本は、Brendon自身が欲しいもの、事が商品化されています。彼は、70年代初頭生まれなので、その頃のファッション、音楽を思い浮かべて頂ければ、NOAHの世界観が理解できると思います。

残念ながらNOAHは、まだニューヨーク(ノリータ)のショップと、オンラインのみでしか購入できませんが、是非今ニューヨークで一番注目されているNOAHをチェックしてみてください。

早く、日本に来ないかな?!
