New Era 59FIFTY

This is a standard.
I don't interested in a lot of variation of New Era hat, but like an authentic Baseball game cap.

Somebody ask me, are you a fun of New York Yankees?
I just say No.

I don't care about teams, but Yankees game cap color and "NY" logo is beautiful.

An insignia that would become the famous New York Yankees "NY" logo was designed by Tiffany & Co. in 1877, and Yankees adopted the logo in 1909.

Therefore, this cap is the most powerful icon in many variations of design.

A.P.C. x Supreme

A.P.C. x Supreme

This collaboration is new.
Denim pants of A.P.C. and simple red box logo of Supreme are distinctive attribute of both brands.
I expect that this collaboration products will become the masterpiece of street fashion in the future.

+J

UNIQLO x Jil Sander
I am looking forward to next month.
UNIQLO, Japanese popular clothing store, will release new line "+J".
This is not a collaboration line with Jil Sander because now Jil assumed design section of UNIQLO.
I hope UNIQLO should keep mass production about the latest awesome line because this is not limited line, please!

Supreme Newyork

Supreme web store updated, and I got Oxford BD shirts and 5 pocket straight leg jeans. These items are standard for American traditional style. I am too old to wear Street style clothing, but Supreme knows what middle age people who had worn Street clothing when they were young around mid 90s, need now.

Love Supreme.

You are so CRAZY, NIGO!
I'm not a groupie of his brand, A BATHING APE, but I like his sense and talent of making mainstream. This collaboration is very very crazy. Who made the shell chair where the camouflage had been printed before? This is just amazing, and I really wanna his crazy products. Moreover, I suppose his fashion style on this picture. Combination of Panama hat, coverall, and vintage all-star are better than Hip-Hop Ape style.

I came back from 1300 miles road trip.

This short film is the actual record of my trip, seriously.

The jelly fish has great talent for a film material.

THE JOEY Overdrive 1955

My April 77 is almost 2 years old, and is worn-out after all.
This is the best skinny jeans ever.

Jeans have any marks such as around knees, front, hip, and hems.
These marks are my identity!
I wanna keep wearing this jean, but I can't do that because it has two fatal damages.
One is a hole of crotch, and the other is a tear on the hip.

I should not expose my underwear, right?
Then, I got my new April 77 jean that is .........



I'll show you guys later!

Shuron

Shuron Vintage Eyeglasses

This is 60s original flame by Shuron.
Shron is a glass maker of long standing since 1865, and is known as the maker of supplier US military during WW II.

This is very beautiful flame, and have an original paper case.
The design of paper case is interesting. It has a vivid color and great font design.




Unfortunately, it doesn't have lenses, so I should order my own lenses. Anyway, this is my next glasses, and I am able to have an appreciation of details of vintage eyeglasses until making lenses.

Check to Check

I got three vintage checked button down shirts yesterday. Those shirts are look great, and has no damages. I expect that three shirts were donated by same owner because these are exact same size. Neck sizes, shoulder, and length are same. These are 50s or 60s vintage shirts, and I did not waver to buy all when I saw shirts.

"IVY CLUB"
Nicely name! Do you think so?
This is good combination of color, and has the selvage on the edge of inner.

It has tinny checked pattern, and has the selvage too.


"Penny's Towncraft "
J.C. Penny is the famous store in the world, and we found vintage work clothing made from Penny's.
It has traditional Scottish check pattern and colors.

I love checks, and these shirts will be main clothing in this winter.

What's the next?

My Joey is worn-out, so I should pick next my jeans up here ASAP!!

Sayonara 80s

Michel Jackson dies at 50.
He is the icon of pop culture, so his die brought the end of pop culture.

1980s... It was changing era for fashion, music, and art.
A few day ago, I got two pair of vintage NIKE Air Pegasus, which are made of 1980s and awesome dead stock condition.
These shoes still have 80s memory. Style, design, and materials are old school, but these have the future expectation.

Sayonara 80s, we are going to next step from pop culture.

マイケル・ジャクソンが５０歳で亡くなった。
彼は偉大なポップカルチャーのアイコンで、彼の死はとうとうポップカルチャーの終わりをもたらした。

１９８０年代…ファッションや音楽、そしてアートの大きな転換期だった１９８０s
先日この２足のナイキ製エア•ペガサスを手に入れた。
どちらも８０年代のオリジナルでデットストックです。
このスニーカーは未だに８０年代の記憶を保持しているように思える。
スタイル、デザイン、そして素材、どれもクラシカルなのに未来への期待も同時に内包している。

サヨナラ８０s、僕たちはポップカルチャーから次のステップへ向かっている…

Beautiful Leather Shoes

I love leather shoes.
I am insatiable to see details of leather shoes.
Good shoes are made by good craftsman, and these shoes are just beautiful.
I choice two leather shoes today. Those shoes have chosen unique materials, which are combination of calf leather and suede.
I think the left shoes is very rare because I had never seen monk strap shoes with these combination; moreover, the toe has decoration like wing tip shoes.
This is very luxurious.
These shoes were made in Italy, and produced by Nordstrom, which is the famous high brands department store.

By the way, unfortunately, I cannot put on those shoes because does not fit size of shoes. However, I really wanted to take photo like HugE, which is Japanese famous fashion magazine then I plan to sell these shoes in eBay after enjoying checking details enough.

I'll notice you again when I show up these shoes in eBay.

靴が好きだ。
特に革靴には目がない。
革靴の細かなディテールを見ているだけも飽きることはない。
もちろん良い靴は良い職人によって作られているし、写真の靴たちも申し分なくよく作られている。
今回この２足を選んだのですが、この２足、少しばかりおもしろい革が使われていて、カーフとスエードのコンビネーションです。
特に写真左の靴は珍しく、今までモンクストラップにコンビレザーでなおかつウイングチップのようにつま先に装飾が施されています。
すごく豪華な作りだと思います。

この２足はイタリア製で、アメリカの高級百貨店、ノードストロームのオリジナルシューズです。

まぁ、あいにくサイズが合わないので履けないのが残念なのですが、あまりに美しいシューズだったのでファッション誌のHugEのような写真を撮りたくて手に入れました。

多分もう少しこのディティールを堪能したら、eBay(ネットオークション)に出品しようかと思っています。
やっぱりちゃんと履いてもらえるほうが靴も喜ぶと思うので…。
出品したらまたお知らせしますね。

CURRENT see

Summer classes have started, and I took very fun class at the last term.
This is a WALLWORKS, which is three-weeks upper division art class.

I learned more creativity of art, and I could improve my skill and approach to art.
Finally, my class had the exhibition, and this exhibition is the culminating project of an intense three-week art class that challenges upper division art students to create new work within specified parameters. This year’s artwork features digital projects discussing the effects of the economic crisis, including cuts to art education and the Nevada System of Higher Education.

The concept of the show is intended to engage the audience to think about the long reaching effects of the current budget cuts. The works of art in this exhibition will be presented through the use of projected images, emphasizing light and video as a medium and the recognizing importance of site. All art works were developed in collaboration between the students and instructor of the course.


“The Chase”—This project explores the relevance of attaining economic stability during these hard times by using the extreme of homelessness to portray the desperate need for money to survive in America today.


This is the original video of my group for the exhibition.

Both videos were taken by a compact digital camera, which is Panasonic Lumix, and I edited these using finalcut pro.

Shopping Cart

I always feel alone when I saw a shopping cart on the street.
I don't know why?
They look like the rejected public art object from society.

Taken by BESSA R (Range Finder Camera by Cosina) + INDUSTER 26M (Russian 50mm Lens).

僕はいつも道ばたに投げ捨てられているショッピングカートを見ると孤独を感じる。
何故だろう？
彼らは社会から拒絶されたパブリックアートのように見える。

この写真はベッサR（コシナ製のレンジファインダーカメラ）とインダスター　２６M（ロシア製５０mmレンズ）の組み合わせで撮影しました。

Walkers

Walkers, which is famous Scotland Cookies, became my favorite sweets today.
This is very tasty, and not too sweet, but also the smell of butter is very well.
Cookies are well-suited to the tea.
Moreover, the package of this is traditional Scottish tartan, so visual is very good too.

Walkers(ウォーカーズ)という有名なスコットランドのクッキーを初めて食べた。
そしていうもでもなくこの素晴らしいクッキーは今日僕のお気に入りのお菓子リストに加えれられた。

このとても美味しいクッキーは甘すぎず、でも非常にバターの香りが濃くてとてもおいしい。
紅茶との相性もとても良いのです。
また、パッケージのタータンチェックは視覚的にも、楽しめる一品です。
