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.
At Shinjuku Station in Lumine Est on the B2 floor is Destination Tokyo. A stylish and eclectic fashion shop in the heart of one of Tokyo’s busiest stations.
We’re back again this spring with a special collection of umbrellas and parasols at Souvenir From Tokyo in The National Art Center, Tokyo! Showing now at the museum is a collection of art dealing with the subject of children from the Louvre.
The Sakura Parasol series made it’s debut at HANWAY in Roppongi Hills last week! It’s a wonderful shop with a wide variety of umbrellas to suit anyone’s style. If you are in Tokyo and you want to see the Sakura parasols in person head down to Roppongi Hills 4f Walk and check out this exclusive series.
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.
