A pop-up store for NICOPANDA, a brand created by fashion director Nicola Formichetti, will be open at Laforet Harajuku from March 8th to 24th for a limited time. The wide-ranging lineup, from T-shirts, outerwear, accessories, iPhone cases, and stuffed toys, all feature cute panda designs. In addition to new character items like the new line "Baby Nicopanda," the store will also offer exclusive special items. The store will feature a UFO catcher with Nicopanda stuffed toys and a capsule machine with Nicopanda stickers and badges, creating an amusement atmosphere. Additionally, a fresh fruit jelly (500 yen) made with vegetable gelatin will be available as a collaboration item with fruit artist Kiyoshi Sugiyama's "Sugiyama Fruits." Nicola herself is scheduled to visit the store during the period. Nicola, born in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture in 1977, has an Italian father and a Japanese mother. He is the creative director of Mugler and the fashion director of Lady Gaga and Uniqlo. In 2012, he teamed up with his brother Andrea to launch the character brand Nicopanda.
