Recently photographer Minaco Syarima, and musician Yuqi Kokufuda stepped out in Ginza on a very rainy night to do an impromptu photo shoot with a selection of Pumpkin umbrellas. I’m so thrilled with the results. Thank you so much Minaco and Yuqi. That was such a good collaboration! I hope we can do something like that again soon!.
This cosmic-themed photo was shot by my friend, photographer Minaco. ”Wish Upon a Star” and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from DiCesare Designs. All the best to you and yours!
I don’t write about them much but I’d like to thank them now. The craftsmen we work with in Kyoto have been making DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols for almost 8 years now. Their techniques have been crucial in developing new items and producing a limited edition series of high quality umbrellas and parasols. Without their combination of experience, pride and creativity, this series would not have been possible. Thank you! Wait till you see the new items they have come up with to be released in the near future!
Once again I was able to visit my favorite city. Montréal. Every time I go, I find something new to love about this wonderful city. This time was no different. The food was wonderful and the people friendly. While there, Hurricane Irene rolled into town. It was quite the storm. Seeing this as an opportunity, we went out into the streets of old Montréal to do a photo shoot with the Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrellas! The weather conditions were extreme but we got some beautiful shots. The Rhythm Pumpkin Umbella withstood the Hurricane force winds beautifully as well. Elegance under pressure.
My good friend Matias Lasarte recently took a series of my umbrellas and parasols out for a photo shoot in Uruguay. I can’t express how happy I am with the results. The pictures bring out the beauty in the items far beyond what I expected. Thanks Matias. The pictures speak for themselves.I’ll be putting them on the gallery soon too!
This is a good friend of mine, a model and a customer as well. Abe san recently picked up a Sakura Semplice parasol at the Matsuya show and went out with a photographer friend and took some great photos. Look for the shots in the gallery soon!
This wonderful photo was taken on a rainy train platform in Tokyo by a good friend of mine Matias Lasarte. Sharing a Pumpkin umbrella while waiting for a train on a rainy night brings out the romantic in all of us.
At this year’s Carnival in Venice, award-winning costume designer Tanja Shultz-Hess used the Parashell Frill as a headpiece for a jaw-dropping costume called “Umbrellina”. A Kabocha Parasol was also used in the costume. It was wonderful to see the items in Venice with such a fantastical costume.
日本で傘や日傘をデザインするようになって数年以上になる。時々、なぜこうなったのか、どうしてこうなったのかわからなくなることもありますが、とても楽しい仕事だということは確かです。
これはモントリオールで撮ったパラシェル日傘の写真で、とてもカラフルなPalais de congresです。
