And so, as we went about lives this week [indigestion in tow - note to self: CHEW!] little did we know of the glorious Japanese surprise that awaited us...
'Brilliant!' we thought. scooping it up for a lunch-time persue. A whole issue on Japanese vintage. At the fairs, we see many fashionistas from the East always impeccably-dressed and accessorized. As one of our facebook faves Japanese Streets [go on, take a look] testament with their regular street-style, old-world's alive and kicking, no matter what your timezone.
We flicked on, thumbing our way to a middle-page spread. 'Pretty!' we thought, thinking how very...London this looked...
WOOHOO! Regardless of what could be quite questionable PR [we, unfortunately, don't speak a lot of Japanese. Touch wood, we're taking the text as positive, not negative] it's lovely to be featured!
Arigato So-en magazine! Here's to our next over-seas feature!
xVVx
This is cute ! Love that girl in the stripey coat, amaze. Quite strange as I was papped by a Japanese mag when flyering for the Kilo sale! Sad thing is I can't remember the name of it, maybe one day it'll pop up ! XX
ReplyDeleteHaha it's gorgeous isn't it? I feel like we've all had a clandestine experience with Japanese bloggers at some point - our former bookings gal and resident goth Sam and i were papped at 5 in the morning in Soho a few weeks ago by some inebriated Japanese street-stylists [highly embarrassing - lots of looking into the distance and thinking you're cooler than you are!!] Lets hope that one doesn't make it to print! xx
ReplyDeleteLove that magazine! I have a scan of the whole article on my blog as i was featured too- i wish i could actually read it!

Kathy it's gorgeous!! Where were you featured and i'll take a look! Sounds weird, but i love the smell of the paper haha. Such joy from the simplest of things! x
ReplyDeleteI am also an avid fan of vintage clothes but I haven't gone to Japanese vintage store so far. But it seems the two of you had enjoyed being there for quite some time!
