Keisuke Kanda will hold an event called "Keisuke Kanda to Shinjuku Isetan" at the Isetan Shinjuku store. The event will take place in the TOKYO Kaihoku (Liberation Zone) on the second floor of the main building from September 11th to 24th. The department store, designed to resemble a department store, will feature a lineup encompassing Keisuke Kanda's activities, including the main collection, one-of-a-kind pieces, remade vintage clothing, "Ribbon Warriors" plastic models for girls that can be worn as accessories, and the first new release in two years for the "First Love Terrifier" series. Handmade tartan-patterned shopping bags resembling paper bags will also be on display. A collaboration with "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon," celebrating its 20th anniversary, will also be unveiled for the first time. The event will be directed by Yamaguchi Sota, a stylist and director of the select shop "Mikirihasshin," who opened the select shop "Pyaruko" at Shibuya Parco last year. The display will be handled by MAGMA, a creative unit consisting of Jun Sugiyama and Kenichi Miyazawa.
