Tokyo-based fashion designer Gozi has launched a site for both her Gozi label and UMI-1 label.

Time to stock up on t-shirts from Tokyo Art Beat’s “Tokyo Collection #3,” with all designs on sale for 2500 yen until the end of the month. And remember, all proceeds go to help finance TAB and its various projects.

In its new fashion issue, VICE offers up a global trend report for 2008, including a look at what the kids in Tokyo are wearing. Via PSFK.

I like the new UNIQLO commercial that has started airing on TV for this spring’s UT lineup. You can also re-arrange the loop over at the UT website.

NEW YORK - TOKYO posts more about UNIQLO’s latest manga t-shirt collection, including a look at the display they have up at the Soho Store.

Starting today (April 21) and running until May 6, Laforet in Harajuku is hosting the “KIKS TYO x YONE x AKI HOSHINO Sneaker Lover Pop-up Shop.” The shop will have exclusive collaborations with Champion, New Balance, and G-SHOCK, and will also be selling the limited edition tee (Hoshino photographed by Yone) seen below. Also, the first 300 people to buy over 10 000 yen merchandise (probably too late now) will get a KIKS TYO x MEDICOM TOY X AKI HOSHINO Kubrick.

Fashion designer (and PauseTalker) Anna Antoniades gets a nice write-up over at the David Report.

We all knew that H&M were finally going to open their first Japan store in Tokyo later this year, but now comes news that the November launch will coincide with an exclusive line by Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garcons, covering menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, accessories, and a new unisex fragrance. Vogue has more details. Via Jesper.

Remember that Bape-branded Nintendo DS that was announced a few weeks back? Seems like the brand finally has something “hot” (I refer here to the fact that their Tokyo stores are always empty — I do realize that the brand is quite popular outside of Japan these days). As Kotaku reports:

In his latest post for Clast, Marxy examines what it means for Emporio Armani to use model/actress Aoi Miyazaki in its latest ad campaign.

Marxy reviews fashion writer and editor Tiffany Godoy’s STYLE DEFICIT DISORDER, a tome on the development of Harajuku’s youth culture. It’s interesting to note that Godoy actually worked as an editor on Japanese art and style magazines.

Because I feel my site needs to add to the internet’s discussion of Paris Hilton and her endeavors, here then is a new Paris Hilton line of watches for Japanese company Ueni, maker of teen jewelry and accessories. Via Marxy.

Last time Mike McWhertor was in town, as we were covering the Tokyo Game Show last year (Mike is one of Kotaku’s editors), he mentioned that he was prepping a t-shirt project, and here it is, Meat Bun, mixing gaming and design. They have an online shop, so get buying!

Just in time for spring, Uniqlo’s UT line of t-shirts has just launched a new series based on manga titles that appear in Kodansha’s WEEKLY SHONEN MAGAZINE and Shogakukan’s WEEKLY SHONEN SUNDAY. The first few went on sale yesterday, ten in all, and new titles/designs will be released each week. Via Imprint Talk.
