The 5 Best Travel Cameras

Nikon D600 Full Frame DSLR

Fujifilm X100S

GoPro Hero3 Black Edition

Sony RX100 Compact Digital Camera

Canon Powershot N

 

I want a new camera for my daily use. I have bought all the history of my camera in Japan and I will buy it there again just because seems more available there. Ok, here are some lists that people in US think its the best for travel. Means more easy to carry and durable? What would be your pick?

I probably go with FujiFilm X100S this time. You?  

 

 

Thom Browne house in Manhattan, NY

Hi Thom

I have no intentions of revealing your personal life, but you can be so secretive sometimes and found this in Architectural Digest that I had to share this with my community. Here is what it said;

Set on a tree-lined block in Greenwich Village, his apartment building is prime Manhattan real estate. But when Browne decided to move out of his old place, on Central Park West, he wasn’t focused on any particular location—it was a glorious terrace he was after. “I looked for more than a year,” he says. “It could have been uptown, I didn’t care. New York has so many interesting neighborhoods.” Perseverance paid off. The one-bedroom flat, a compact 800 square feet or so, is surrounded by some 300 square feet of outdoor space with sweeping views, enabling Browne to gaze out from beneath a striped awning at the Chrysler Building or the new World Trade Center tower.

トムブラウンの自宅の紹介が、Architectural Digestに載っていましたので、ここでご紹介。とてもプライベートな事なので、ブログはどうなの？的な迷いは無く、ただただ好奇心一杯。
見た所、店と同じ雰囲気かな。とてもシンプルで、毎日遠目から物の位置を確認しているんでしょうね的なデコレーション。ちょっと席を外す時に、音など出すもんなら、凄い目で見られるんだろうな？っと勝手な妄想に入っていますが、全て冗談。Thomは、とっても良い人。私が、Lovelessの買付けのお手伝いをしている時に、何度かお会いしましたが、ナイス。でもオーダーが減った際は、冷たかったな。これも冗談です。
でっ、肝心な家ですが、広さは２４坪。テラスもあるようですが、９坪。えー狭い！でもThomは、多分私みたいに、バタバタと駆け回らないので、ワインを片手にゆっくりと過ごすには、十分なんでしょうね。最後に、でもベッド狭い。。。。
センスは、とても良い。流石です。

Todd Snyder Tokyo store

Todd Snyder to Open Tokyo Flagship

Todd Snyder is getting back into the retail business.

The designer, who was senior vice president of men’s design for J. Crew before launching his namesake label two years ago, has signed a retail licensing deal with Anglobal Ltd. to open stores in Asia. A flagship is expected to make its debut in early spring in the Aoyama district of Tokyo, followed by another two to three units over the next three years.

The publicly held Anglobal was founded in 1964 and counts Margaret Howell Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary. The company currently operates 103 Margaret Howell stores in Japan and Europe.

“This has been brewing for a while,” Snyder said. “Two years ago we did a pop-up store in Japan, and we’ve always had a huge following there. The Japanese have always embraced us — 50 percent of our business is over there. They love America and Americana.”

He said Anglobal approached him with the idea to open stores in Asia and they struck a deal. In addition to the 1,200-square-foot space the partners are searching for in Aoyama, Snyder said he hopes to open another unit in Tokyo, as well as two in the surrounding area.

Snyder said he will design the store and it will be “modeled after a tailor shop.” The designer’s co-branded tailored clothing with Southwick will be the “major anchor” of the store, he said, and it will be mixed with sportswear items and pieces from Snyder’s other collaborations, including Champion and Bates Hats.

Snyder was with J. Crew when the retailer opened its first men’s-specific store, The Liquor Store, in New York’s TriBeCa, a space that is wildly popular with the Japanese, he said. “They came to me because of the Liquor Store,” Snyder said of Anglobal.

The licensing deal covers all of Asia, and Snyder believes there is potential for opening Todd Snyder stores in South Korea as well. “It’s such a modern country, and it’s growing faster than Japan,” he said.

And would he ever open a store in the U.S.? “That’s the dream,” he said, saying he would like to ultimately have stores in New York, Tokyo and London. “But I’m looking for the right partner. I just don’t have the capital to do it myself.”

日本の皆様、今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。



 

Hemes meets VANS

I am not sure if I would wear this, but guess we can call nice collab.
Probably we will see more boys wearing in Tokyo than New York for sure.....
The cost? it will be very expensive slip on, $200-$500.
Enjoy.

GOLD

 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD   There is something about GOLD. when I was younger, I picked GOLD to make me look bigger, richer, reliable, impressive, hiphop, big bills, whatever you wanted to be. After some time gone by and think I am more mature now, I just have realized that I am still loving GOLD.

Now I am interested in GOLD watch, this iPhone case, rings etc, and I am here to say I love GOLD and you will see me more with GOLD.
