ISSEY MIYAKE

ISSEY MIYAKE

COLOUR IS THE KEY

 

ALL THESE DELIGHTFUL PICTURES ARE TAKEN FROM A ISSEY MIYAKE LOOK BOOK PUBLISHED IN 2000 WHICH I WAS GIVEN BY THE ISSEY MIYAKE STORE IN TOKYO DURING A REGULAR "WALKING RETAIL" TRIP THAT I ALWAYS MADE ON EACH VISIT TO JAPAN, MY VISITING JAPAN ON AVERAGE 4 TIMES A YEAR.

 

I WORKED WITH ITOCHU THE BEHEMOTH TRADING HOUSE FOR MANY YEARS AND STILL AM TODAY!! I INTRODUCED DUFFER OF ST GEORGE TO ITOCHU AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME 35 STORES THERE NOW

MY VISITS WOULD INVARIABLY TAKE IN TOKYO, OSAKA, KOBE, KYOTO AND EVEN IBARAKI WHICH IS ABOUT A ONE HOUR TRAIN RIDE OUT OF TOKYO WHERE MY CLIENT WAS THE WONDERFULLY NAMED COMPANY 'JOYFUL HONDA' WHO WERE THE LARGEST 'DIY' STORE AND AN ADJACENT 'PETS STORE' CHAINS IN JAPAN.

KOBE IS WHERE THE MUSEUM OF FASHION IS LOCATED AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO HAVE A MOST SUCCULENT TERIYAKI 'KOBE' BEEF STEAK COOKED IN FRONT OF YOU.

ISSEY MIYAKE WAS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF THE POTTER LUCY RIE ABOUT WHOM I BLOG ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO

I WORKED WITH KANGOL IN TOKYO WITH CROWN CREATIVE WHO DID A SUPERB JOB WITH THIS TRANSPOSED HEAD WEAR BRAND
