In yet another update on the problems with the Japanese economy and how they are impacting the fashion industry, the massive Japanese company Takashimaya has issued a profit warning 2008. They blame the problems on “extremely weak consumer demand in Japan“, which is not good news for any retailers. The Takashimaya Department Store in Shinjuku: Takashimaya operates [...]
Isetan Men’s Shinjuku Christmas 2008
Today’s Tokyo fashion Christmas 2008 update is from the Isetan Men’s department store in Shinjuku. Though Isetan Men’s holiday window displays aren’t as interesting as the main Isetan Department Store X-mas window displays, they are still pretty cool. Here are a few of the Men’s Store windows: Pinstriped Giorgio Armani Suit at Isetan Men’s in Tokyo: Merry [...]

Another Tokyo Christmas / holiday update. This time, we’ll take a look at the 2008 holiday window displays from the Keio Department Store in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo.

Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 2008
The Electro Plankton blog has an item on the Fall/Winter collection from Japanese/NY brand Engineered Garments, along with pictures of some of the pieces in the collection.

A little research shows that this collection is called the “Hands Snoopy Collection” and it consists of three collaboration [...]

Echika Omotesando Christmas Bunnies
In Japan, everything has a cute character mascot – even mayonnaise. The shopping complex under Omotesando Station is called “Echika” – and Echika’s cute character is a bunny rabbit looking creature with a handbag. Is Echika really a bunny? Is Hello Kitty a cat? Maybe not, but it looks something like one, so that’s what we’ll [...]
MilkFed x Care Bears Japanese Fashion
Harajuku loves cute. You can’t walk ten feet down Takeshita without hearing shouts of “kawaii!!!” over and over again. Milkfed is not a Takeshita brand, but they are aiming right at the “kawaii” Japanese girls with their newest fashion collaboration. It doesn’t get much cuter than…the Care Bears! The Milkfed x Care Bears collaboration went on [...]
