please know this japanese label (part 1)

Yeah Right!! is a Japanese fashion duo that reworks vintage clothes into interesting one-of-a-kind pieces. i love the homely incompleteness of their work. These images of their AW08 collection, 'daily life of the eternity'embody true Japanese style--chaotic, messy and always both a nod and a fuckyou to high fashion.

and these are some pieces from their most recent SS collection:

really intrigued by this weaving technique used on the denim skirt and tee. SO much cooler than the "shredded" detail that seems to be popular nowadays, i think.

having said that....... they do the "shredded" thing real well too

and this is them paying tribute to/flipping off prada and LV by stiching them together onto an old boyscout shirt and adding a rubber band belt to the waist. GOOD FUN!!!

we all scream for ice cream

I was super excited to find stills of one of my favorite scenes in film history (via this awesome website).
It's the last scene of Down by Law by Jim Jarmusch where Tom Waits and John Lurie swap their jackets before parting ways. I've forgotten how the dialogue went but I remember it was funny and sad and really endearing.

some things

I got this dress-BW SS09. I luuuurv it. The volume (voluminosity?) is intense and it’s made of a smooth thick knit. Feels very luxe despite its fun appearance. i might go back for the socks too



Say goodbye to goat! Or rather I will say goodbye. The sick thing with me is no matter how much I like something to begin with, it quickly transforms into the equivalent of Abercrombie&fitchshudder in my eyes if I see it too much. Hello teddy bear fur, fur of the future!



Instead of long goat, i like the idea of a hair fringe on clothing. I missed out on these Andrea Crews tops when they came to Tokyo for a little bit but I really like them, esp cuz they’ve been dip dyed. who hasnt wanted blue hair at one point in their life?


Which brings me to this. does anyone know where i can find this outfit?
Bernhard willhelm SS04or05? Ive been searching for so long. I don’t care if it’s the t-shirt version or the dress version. I just need some fringed superman in my life.


Im into all things floaty at the moment. im surprised that this street snap is appealing to me so much. I like to look at Japanese streetsnaps but to be honest I don’t really see them as inspiration-more like entertainment…


In keeping with this obsession i got this scrunchie last yearish (by Theatre Products, japlabel worth checking out) but then about a month ago I took the photo of tao(see last post) to my hairdresser and got all my hair hacked off. No more scrunchie fun, and I didn’t even get to use it…boo
this girl is not me, btwz
