Our NY show has just ended….

Here, we’re goin’ to Japan show next week! (Takeshi)

Oooops! Really a last minute again…

Yet still missing some pieces…

Since we produce stuff in our own organic way, say, wear season’s new stuff, feel them, then move on forward kinda…

So if the weather is behind, I am behind the schedule as well…..well, this is my regular excuse…this time resulting washing last minutes samples @ my apt…

Even under many unfavorable factors of the time, people come up with all kinds of  ideas and solutions….so did I…..I guess John feel it, too.

Ultimately went back to our very roots….focusing on what we really like.

P.S.

It is unbelievable….I was moved.

MADE PERFECTLY IN OCCUPIED JAPAN…. “PERFECTLY”?

Well, it actually happened to be made better than the original…..which is really unlikely….but it is a unfair copy nonetheless.

But I feel the air of the times….and love their sense of humor….

Japanese are…….

I used to go back to Japan right after Christmas….

to celebrate New Year’s Day in Japan.

That way, I could enjoy both Christmas in New York and New Year’s day in Japan.

You know, New Year’s Day in Japan is sort of a big event…and the longest holiday as well.

We drink, go to shrine for New Year’s Resolution, have parties, eat New Year’s food.

I usually stay here in NYC around New Year’s Day these years…..to get ready for Men’s Fashion Week in January.

I’ve been feeling ” I want that old practice again !” for at least several years now…

Here’s a new E-Z CRUZ vest.

I can go without a scarf in windy days with that shawl collar standing up!

I know I was into letters/fonts and stuff since I was a teenager…

And maybe still….

They started as copies….but they look like they went through (cool) Japanese filters really well….like Ramen and other stuff.
