There is a new capsule collection from Onitsuka Tiger for the
Spring/Summer 2011 called "Aisen." A lot of denim and even a fanny pack.
I am not a fan of the fanny pack but as far as they go this one was
done right. The set ranges from accessories to clothing.
“The exclusive AISEN range is named after two Japanese
words meaning ‘indigo’ and ‘dye’. AISEN products combine contemporary
style with a traditional Japanese manufacturing process. Natural
materials are dip-dyed by hand in pigment from indigo flowers to create
soothing blue shades, and enhanced with cutting-edge technical details.
Combining this traditional Japanese indigo dyeing technique with new
contemporary designs results in a unique modern collection of Japanese
footwear, tops and backpacks.
The footwear focuses on natural comfort and includes the OKATABI
range, inspired by the famed tabi, a traditional Japanese shoe that is
still widely worn today.”
05-12-2010 J.Biz It would have been easy to find lingerie from the
world famous Victoria Secret, but lets see if we can all find
alternatives. The Mimi Holiday line by Damaris
is a U.K. brand and isn't half bad. There are beautiful polka dot and
leopard skin patterns. The line looks seductive without that trashy
stripper vibe. Definitely worth a look.

This is probably just an excuse to post pics of the epic screamer of

own. Throw in tennis talent

Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons Cardigan
07-08-2009 J.Biz I have been a fan of Elmer Fudd since I first gazed upon Looney Tunes, but I never took a likeness to his dress code.
