Fragment x Rolex

HF showed me this sample last week in Tokyo and i was blown away.

I really like the way he has styled this piece,and the model of choice is perfect.

The whole idea of a custom fragment Rolex is pretty ambitious and a reminder of the positive growth of our culture and one of its most important figures.

Time to start saving up !

Visitors

After a quick dash to London last week,we had some visitors in Scotland.

It was nice to start a new project on home soil,and i look forward to the outcome.

thanks for everything guys !

Wings+Horns x Cool Cats Varsity jacket

Back in February of this year,i began planning this project with my good friends at Cool Cats.

After a few trips to Paris,and only a few samples,this is the result.

It’s exciting now that the project is set to be released later this month in very limited numbers.

Artwork by So-Me,production by Wings + Horns.

Showroom days !

This last month or so has been really busy,with us spending a great amount of time at our showroom,selling for s/s 2010.

Selling season is always good fun ,and the added bonus is that you get to really spend time with clients when they visit.

It’s all very well meeting the same people during fashion week trips to Paris etc,but quite often i find that you rarely have the time for lengthy conversation or discussions,due to everyone’s manic schedules.

So for me,the showroom enviroment is much more productive,it provides a relaxing backdrop,and a much more relaxed atmosphere.

Our list of distinguished guests included our good friend steve from Present (London)

It was very exciting to hear about his new project,and it’s sure to become a London institution.

Our friends Gary and Walid from Patta (Amsterdam) also came to visit.

Big things to come over the next few months from the Patta team.

1Q84 ‘ichi kyū hachi yon’

Haruki Murakami’s latest novel 1Q84 “ichi kyū hachi yon”,or 1984 to English speaking readers,sounds fascinating .

Murakami’s decision to reveal nothing about the books plot,prior to release had fans in a frenzy !.

Murakami-san revealed that his reason for the top secret approach was due to some of his previous work being leaked.

Upon release day many book stores in Japan sold out,with one book store reported to have sold 840 copies in just one day !

This lead to the publisher (Shinchosha Publishing co) to double the initial print run almost immediately,and subsequently  1Q84 became the top selling novel in their history.

More news is featured in the news video report above from Japanese television.

For any readers who would like to learn more about Murakami,or read English version’s of his previous work,please go here

NIGO (2002)

I rediscovered these old Nigo video’s a few day’s ago.

They feature a nice interview with NIGO,circa 2002,which was a very exciting time for *A Bathing Ape.

Japanese only though,i’m afraid.
