■ [2013SS Exhibition] Volga Volga 2013 Spring/Summer Collection
This brand produces stunning creations every season. No matter how you turn an item inside out, it shows flawless design. The tag says "made in Tokyo," which is a nice touch.
■ Thom Browne's new line, Thom Grey, finally launches in Japan
■ Sacai Pop-Up Shop Opens at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building

■ Takashi Nishiyama, the promising young designer who became the first Japanese to win the Grand Prix at ITS, has his first pop-up shop at Laforet Harajuku.

This is a pop-up shop at Laforet Harajuku. I'm curious to see how he has incorporated Nishiyama's striking style into his products.

■A whole book dedicated to rocker jackets! Horst A. Friedrich's "Pride and Glory"
■Thomas Rusche, owner of German select shop SØR, has carefully selected worthy brands. "The Label Book" has been published.

Both are irresistible books for fashion lovers. Shimada Foreign Books, which we carry, is having a sale until January 17th. I recommend buying books instead of clothes with your New Year's money.

■Special Rick Owens music package will be distributed from the beginning of the new year.

I fell in love with the packaging visuals, which are typical of the brand. Apparently, Rick plays Opera while he works on the pattern making table when drawing patterns.

■Kris Van Assche x Eastpak's exclusive Boston bag arrives at Midwest.

This collaboration is now in its fourth season. This time, it's full leather, giving it an elegant feel.

■The most popular item is "The New Prince of Tennis." The "MANGA TRENCH" at Isetan Shinjuku attracted attention with its trench coats and manga design.

It's exactly what you'd expect from "The Prince of Tennis." It's notable that most of the buyers were making their first purchases at Isetan. Personally, I was intrigued by the "Naruto" collection. The intricate pattern matching made it a profound project that blended Japanese craftsmanship with Japanese culture.

■Givenchy launches a new signature bag, "Lucrezia."
■A new tote bag has been added to Bulgari's snakeskin "Serpenti" bag. The classic shoulder bag also comes in new colors.

Introducing two bags. The Serpenti (snake) illuminations at Bvlgari Ginza Tower are a must-see, so if you haven't seen them yet, be sure to check them out during your Ginza stroll over the New Year holidays!

■New jewelry collaboration between Diesel Black Gold and Ugo Cacciatori

This jewelry, which has been a collaboration for some time, beautifully harmonizes Diesel's rock style with Ugo's vernacular atmosphere.
