love at first sight

By wen | Published: July 24, 2009
Girls, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The sweaty palms. The fluttery butterflies in your stomach. The flush that rises up your face. That squeezing feeling in your chest. I’m talking about love at first sight. Shoe love at first sight, that is. It’s pretty rare for me to plunk down and instantly buy anything [...]

complex geometries

By wen | Published: July 24, 2009
Montreal newbie company (started in 2005) Complex geometries is impressing me so far; novel, flattering shapes, surprisingly sexy unisex designs, simple colour scheme with occasional pops of bright colour. Wouldn’t mind adding a few of these pieces to my collection; bodysuit and hood in particular. I could eat, like, 5 cheeseburgers in that hood and no [...]

paul & joe fall 2009

By wen | Published: July 23, 2009
August can’t come fast enough, as I’ve gone completely mad for this beautiful little leather dress from Paul & Joe’s Fall 2009 RTW collection. I’ve been debating for a long time getting a tattoo on my back similar to this design (minus the studs, head, and tail) and was pretty delighted to see something similar [...]

spangle call lilli line

By wen | Published: July 22, 2009
大好きな下北沢から素晴らしいバンドSpangle call Lilli line を見つけ出すｖ　（ちょっちょっと変なバンド名だけど（汗）） シンガーはイラストレーター。ギタリストはフォトグラファー。他のギタリストはグラフィックデザイナー。面白いね！！！日本に住んでる時、このバンド知らなかった。残念ですね。このような美しい音楽を聞いているのはとても面白いし、リラックスする。ライブに行ければ幸せ者だな・・・ I’ve fallen pretty hard for this amazing little band, Spangle call Lilli line. Hailing from Shimokitazawa, one of my very favourite corners of Tokyo, this indie rock band is a blend of lush ambient downtempo rock, electronica, hauntingly surreal lyrics, and beautifully delicate, layered vocals. The band is made up of [...]

phi

By wen | Published: July 22, 2009
This label first peaked my attention because I have a friend named Phi and it’s a somewhat unusual name.  Founded in 2003 by Susan Dell (wife of, yes, that dude that started Dell Computers!) and with Norwegian designer Andreas Melbostad heading up designs, Phi is all about revamped 80s silhouettes and somewhat masculine tayloring. I’ve been [...]

good shoes will take you to good places

By wen | Published: July 21, 2009
「いい靴はいい場所へ連れて行ってくれる」って・・・やっぱりハナダンから、この気持ちって感動した・・・（笑）　いいでしょう？あたしもそういう感じだいすきだからね。 “If you wear good shoes, they’ll take you to good places.” There’s a famous girl’s comic book called Boys before Flowers known all over Asia- originating in Japan, it’s also been turned into television dramas in Taiwan and Korea- but the story hasn’t stuck that much in my head- just this quote. When the main [...]
