I'M Back !

Sorry guys,

I've been mad busy with work and social interactions the past four weeks.

Glad to be back on the Globosphere though.

Sleepless In Tokyo

The past 10 days has been quite intense here in Tokyo. A lots of people in Town, a lots of work and a lots of party.

Happy 15th Anniversary Neighborhood...Happy Halloween....and Good Night!

BEDWIN and DELUXE Showroom

Cool People Do Simple Things.

On Saturday, i had the opportunity to meet up with some of the most influential buyer and store owner in North America and Australia.

We were the unofficial Neighborhood Exhibition after party.

I was ready for another (good) night at Le Baron but an interesting turn of event brought us all to a Ping Pong Parlour in Shibuya for a 2 hours session of intense sport action.

We all ended up eventually holding a gin tonic in our hand to celebrate our effort in Nakameguro best kept secret...Victoria!

Another good night in Tokyo City.

Another Fragment Statement

After living and working in Asia for more than 3 years, I thought I've seen all possible kinds of business cards (Meishi)....I was wrong.

And the Palm d'or for the best business card goes to....

Fragment Design for their paper thin, transparent, metallic meishi.

ZIVIL COURAGE

Zivil Courage is the new slogan for the new Adidas O by O x Neighborhood collaboration.

Zivil Courage is the german translation of Social Courage or Courage civil in French, also known in English as the Good Samaritan law.

"Civil courage is defined by many different standards. In general, the term is usually referred to when civilians stand up against something that is deemed unjust and evil, knowing that the consequences of their action might lead to their death, injury or some other form of significant harm.

In some countries (e.g. Brazil, France or Germany) civil courage is enforced by law; this means that if a crime is committed in public, the public is obliged to act, either by alerting the authorities, or by intervening in the conflict. If the crime is committed in a private environment, those who witness the crime must either report it to the authorities or attempt to stop it".

The Skull and bones mixed with the Adidas logo brings also a strong visual impact, I just love it.

Congratulations to Kazuki Kuraishi, Erman Aykurt and the whole Adidas Originals by Originals team for this soon-to-become classic work of art.

Print Out.

Une fois n'est pas coutume, je vais commencer par la version Française, la version la plus stressante pour moi, celle ou la moindre faute d'orthographe ou erreur de syntaxe me vaudra une pluie de "comment" sur Facebook.

Ce soir, je vous ai preparé une petite selection de Print Out que j'ai recuperé au cours du mois de Septembre.

(La meilleure façon d'eviter les fautes, c'est d'etre bref...).

Spending most of my workday within the virtual dimension, i always try to take a rest from my desktop screen as often as i can and pick up some print out lookbooks and magazines. Here is a small selection of what Tokyo has to offer this month.

Hidden Champion is a high quality free magazine supported by Carhartt. In this current issue you'll find a very good interview of KR Craig Costello aka KRINK.

The following print out is actually a recap' of the current Yone x Zippo x Dream Girls Vol2 collaboration. Sexiness from cover to cover!

And last but not least, check out the new O by O Adidas lookbook by Kazuki Kuraishi.

OAKLEY PRESENTS ERIC KOSTON X KEIICHI NITTA X ATIBA JEFFERSON

Earlier tonite, i stopped by the Oakley Flagship Store in Cat Street (Harajuku, Tokyo) in order to check out different Photographies from Eric Koston, Keiichi Nitta and Atiba Jefferson.

Really good Art initiative from Oakley...and always good to catch up with old and new friends.

C.M.W.C

Last week, my boy Erman Aykurt (Adidas) was kind enough to took me to the Cycle Messenger World Championship down in Odaiba by Tokyo bay.

I have never been too deep into the whole Fix-gear movment but i do have a tremendous respect for it. Talking with active members of the bike community made me realized how organic and authentic they all are, flying in to Tokyo from NYC, SFO, BRL with no money perspective at all

...Refreshing!

My fellow Hypebeast Blogger Artoo was there to represent Berlin!!!

Great seeing you in TKO Mister A.

SUMMER 09 RECAP'

It's 6pm in Tokyo right now, cloudy weather and the mercury is slightly decreasing toward a Fall / Winter mode.

Time to go through my summer / vacation pictures.

L'été est fini sur Tokyo, c'est officiel. En cette grise soirée d'automne, j'ai envie de vous faire partager les diverses photos que j'ai pu prendre durant mes 3 mois d'été.
