Matsuya Ginza – 100 Umbrella Show
Every year, Matsuya Ginza Department Store has Japan’s biggest umbrella show. It’s called the The “100 Umbrella Show” 松屋銀座 GINZAの百傘会. There’s nothing like it outside of Japan.

DiCesare Designs x Cocca Collaboration
Cocca is a really charming shop in Daikanyama that makes their own fabric for use in clothing, accessories, interior good and numerous other items. The uniqueness of the designs and the quality of the fabric makes for really great items. That’s what excited me about working with the poeple at Cocca on a series of Rhythm Pumpkin umbrellas.

DiCesare Designs Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella in TEMPS Magazine
When I first started DiCesare Designs, we only had one parasol design (the Parashell). Then I made another (the Kabocha) Pumpkin Parasol and from that a Women’s umbrella was made (the Rhythm) Pumpkin Umbrella.

This is my favorite Parashell parasol. I didn’t like it much when it first came out, but I’ve grown to like it more and more. I thought it might be a bit too formal, but after taking pictures with Sandra, I realized it goes well with casual outfits too.
Pumpkin Parasol by DiCesare Designs

J-wave Interview with Designer John DiCesare
I went down to J-Wave for an interview with Andy Pompilio this week. It was the first time that I’ve been interviewed so I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Andy did his best to make me feel relaxed enough to get through the interview smoothly. He is so laid back and that rubbed off on me
