For our third collaboration with Cocca we made a series of Kabocha Pumpkin parasols and a Parashell parasols too! The fabric we used was created by a designer named 2e san. The items are really eccentric and stylish. Look for the items at one of the many department store events across Japan I will be at this season!
We’ve just added some bright new colours into the Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella series! We have just received the first shipment of the New Two Tone Blue and Two Tone Orange Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrellas! These vivid beauties are now available online. They can be now purchased through our official website. Also, look for them now at Isetan Shinjuku and soon in a wider range of select shops and department stores across Japan.
私は以前、美術鋳造所でブロンズ技師をしていたので、古いスライドやネガをスキャンした。当時取り組んでいたいくつかのプロジェクトの画像だ。いい思い出がたくさん蘇ってきた。特に、ブロンズの匂いは今でも鮮明に覚えている。忘れられない。
Isetan Shinjuku just opened a new select shop on the 2nd floor called “Elegant Trad & Modern Feminine” We worked with Isetan and VERY to make the Black & White Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella. UV coated and waterproofed for use in any season as an umbrella or parasol. Simple and bold in black & white.
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!
For this collaboration we worked with Est Nation and Rita Takahashi. I just love these Pumpkin Parasols. The pattern of the fabric and the little frill around the edge are perfect for this form. They are only available at Est Nation and they won’t last long. Look for them in the June issues of In Red and Oggi.
I’m happy to announce that for the second time we’ve teamed up with Cocca to make collaboration items. This season we’ve made a limited edition series of Rhythm Umbrellas and Kabocha Parasols. This series of Pumpkin umbrellas comes with UV coating and waterproofing. With dual coating these models are great for any season.
This is my first time to have a show at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi. It’s a beautiful store in terms of architectural ornamentation. There is also a beautiful giant sculpture “Statue of a Celestial Nymph” in the Central Hall. That alone is a good enough reason to come to this location in the heart of Tokyo.
I just got back from Hakata this weekend. I was there for a show at Daimaru Department Store. It’s much more common to see a woman using a parasol here than in Kanto.
