This Week in Magazines
- The new issue of CASA BRUTUS (67) is devoted to trend forecasting in the worlds of design, fashion, and architecture. It’s a rather nice selection of drool-worthy items. They also include a small booklet that acts as a Tokyo restaurant guide (with 100 picks). In the front pages they include an interior shot of the renovated Bapexclusive shop in Aoyama, again designed by Masamichi Katayama. When I last visited the shop (in July) it hadn’t re-opened yet, and I can’t confirm if it’s now open.
- This month’s SWITCH (September) covers the “Ap Bank Fes ‘05,” a music festival that was held in Kakegawa, Shizuoka this past July (16-18). One of the articles features very interesting photography by Naoki Honjo, in which the focus makes it look like a diorama (here’s an example).
- The latest STUDIO VOICE (358) features the traveling exhibition that unites Yoshitomo Nara and graf, “A to Z.”
- RELAX (104) turns out a “Special Graphic Issue,” with plenty of eye-candy throughout.

been collecting this mag from a while.
Do they sell DWELL magazine, about the modern life, from the U.S; in japan ?
They probably carry it in a few shops that carry a lot of import magazines (Tower Books, ABC in Aoyama).
