Procured some incredible photos of Tomi Kono’s work. Welcome to his world…. Comme des Garcons Junya Watanabe’s 2014-15 collection shown in Paris was a study in black textures; oodles of patchworked pieces in movement, like the bits and pieces of a broken record slowly inching in different directions.

Chanel AW 2014-15 Handbags. They’re a necessity, but they are possibly the most boring accessory in the history of luxury consumer culture.

Leonard Wong: Fashion that gives a damn ◎ レオナード・ウォンの聖なるモード
Leonard Wong’s aesthetic is a mix of Gareth Pugh and Wong Kar Wai. The slick, futuristic lines and sculpted leather cut with silk fringe and his Asian model muses makes for a label that screams FASHION and gives a damn. レオナルドウォンのコレクションはガレスピューのようなアヴァンギャルドで構築的なデザインとウォングカーワイのような西洋的なセクシーさを融合したような感じ。レザーカッティングされたモダンなラインのスリックと、シルクのフリンジ、それにアジアンモデルのミューズがこのレーベルのファッションを主張していて、目立ってる。… 続きはこちら｜Read the rest here
