FAKE TOKYO

TOKYO//SHOP SCOUT

Tokyo is famous for its maze-like streets and tiny stores, with oodles of clandestine gems to discover. The following are some of my favorite street-minded fashion stores in Tokyo. I'm always pestering my friends from Tokyo, as to when they're paying a visit back to England- so I can put in an order of goodies I have my eye on. Though truthfully I'm always without a dime, when the opportunity arrives! All stores stock the latest new international designers on the arena.

Antonio Murphy & Astro

The Tokyo-based design collective was started in 2002 by VERBAL and YOON. Inspired by the phrase "ANYTHING GOES", they draw ideas from the many creative outlets in Tokyo to produce original designs.

In 2004 they launch the jewelry brand, Antonio Murphy & Astro®. Using 18K gold, platinum, diamonds and other precious stones, they designed their own comical renditions of the mainstream Hip Hop jewelry popular at the time.

Zutto Tsuzukete Japan Nihon-koku

You maybe aware that Asian Fashion plays a elephantine part to why I'm drawn to the avant-garde, in particularly from the nation of Japan. I've always seeked to gain a stimulus from the Japanese mavericks.  I stand amid the countless of people whom have Japan currently close to there heart, hopes and tears. After hearing from some of my friends, thankfully it would seem Tokyo is regaining some lifeblood, as workers return from short leave of absence. 

I was specifically looking forward to Japanese Fashion Week in Tokyo, which was scheduled to be held from March 18th, understandably it had to be canceled, the designers expressed their apologies for being unsure of when or how to even reschedule exhibitions. As a consequence, the designers will now be holding  sporadic exhibitions showcasing their collections. I'll try and share these with you over the next month.

    ~ ~So for now I decided to give salute to Japanese Fashion in my next few posts. ~~

Sending Love + Prayers to Japan

Anything I feel today pales into insignificance compared to the tragic events in Japan. 

If you have any information about people affected by the disaster, you can enter it into the Google application. (You should especially use it if you know people are safe! It gives loved ones peace of mind.) If you have friends and family in Japan, you can also search the database and see if they are okay. Click on the Box.

Keep that fighting spirit my friends much love ♥ ♥ ♥
