NARS x Andy Warhol Pop-up Store

November 26th, 2012 by

Click here to view the embedded video.

For its 29-item Holiday 2012 collection, NARS cosmetics took inspiration from pop artist Andy Warhol and was not only informed by the color palette of Warhol’s paintings, but also his films and the people who filled his famous Factory art space. The influence is reflected in the above video, which makes clear reference to his 8mm films.

For all our readers in Tokyo: During a three-day pop-up store at Sunday Issue you’ll get the chance to experience and purchase the Nars x Warhol line from November 29th-December 1st.

3way House, Tokyo – A Look Inside

May 24th, 2012 by

3way house naf 01 3way House, Tokyo   A Look Inside
We try our best to stay fit, but life is full of other shit to do, and sometimes that bike ride or trip to the gym just can’t happen. Things would be different if we lived in this Tokyo house, designed by in-country firm Naf Architect & Design. You see, not only can its lucky residents take the stairs up and down, they can also scale some ladders and, most notably, a climbing wall.

“The seven-meter climbing wall is positioned in a courtyard at the center of the house and leads up to rooms on the first floor, then on to a roof terrace hidden behind a two-meter-high parapet,” Dezeen tells us. Not much to look at from the outside, but the clever innovations inside are genius.

More looks after the jump…

globe specs vid

A great series from Jake Davis working alongside K Swiss. 4 videos giving us a peek into the world of well turned out characters with a real passion for their chosen business. Here we take a look at Tokyo’s  Globe Specs, established in 1998, a beautifully designed store run by Tetsuya Okada. Having worked in the eyewear business for years he decided to set up on his own, looking for unusual brands to offer something that little bit different to his customers. Well worth a few minutes of your time, press play.

Watch | Rapha – Mogwai ‘Knock for Knock’ Trailer

March 28th, 2012 by

rapha mogwi video Watch | Rapha   Mogwai Knock for Knock Trailer

This is a bit special. A video from the lens of Anthony Crook, the music box of Mogwai, the pen of James Bowthorpe and the magical styling trunk of Glenn Kitson. A Rapha/RSA Films production set in Tokyo. Boxer meets bike in an impressive short. James explains; “We thought of this as a kind of sequel to 30 Century Man – a journey again, but not towards the perpetual horizon… Knock For Knock looks inwards, into memory, into fear and fighting it.”

Look out for this in full  at Rapha soon.

Watch | Jiro Dreams of Sushi

March 19th, 2012 by

Click here to view the embedded video.

Commitment to a cause doesn’t even begin to describe Jiro Ono’s obsession with perfecting the art of sushi making. Many would argue he’s already there but the 85 year old isn’t planning on kicking back just yet. The 3 star michelin restaurant he runs out of Ginza station has just ten seats which means you may be waiting a lifetime to taste his food, a menu which includes octopus massaged for 5o minutes. That’s relaxation.

If you don’t make it down to Sukiyabashi Jiro, console/torture yourself with this incredible film from David Gelb, a glimpse at the life and work of a master devoted to reaching “the ideal moment of deliciousness”. Check out the trailer and hit Nowness for a little bit more. Jiro Dreams of Sushi in cinemas now.

Norfolk Jacket by Free & Easy’s Rugged Museum

December 22nd, 2011 by

norfolk fe jacket 01 Norfolk Jacket by Free & Easys Rugged Museum

There’s nothing like a Norfolk Jacket to make you feel like an extra from a BBC period drama.

Worn by hunters, Princes, Rifle Corps volunteers and nineteenth century cyclists, it still remains the ultimate belted blazer. Strangely though, for something which can feel very costume-y, as long as you steer clear of the knickerbockers it’s a rather easy jacket to wear. This one from Free & Easy’s Rugged museum shop is a particularly nice example. Elbow patches, football buttons, chin strap and pleated pockets. Edward VII would be proud.

Brass Shoe Repair in Tokyo

November 1st, 2011 by

brass shoe repair tokyo 4 Brass Shoe Repair in Tokyo

A little heritage porn for you all. ACL with the help of Red Wing Japan “discovered” one of the finest looking shoe repair joints in Tokyo. “There’s a shoe repair place called Brass in Tokyo like no other I have ever been to. The guys from Red Wing Japan took me there last time I was in country. Often it’s those moments — like when I was first introduced to Brass in person — that make me realize the Japanese can still do ‘Americana’ better than Americans. I could easily see a place like Brass in Portland or Brooklyn or L.A., but I doubt it would have the customer base to actually survive. Maybe I’m wrong though.”

More looks after the click.
