    This post is going to be about something good, something better, and then the best. First with the good. Everyone’s favorite Tokyo-based Swedish graphic designer Micke Thorsby (PMKFA) — well, mine at least — has recently launched a new collection of his “It’s Our Thing” brand of tees and sweatshirts. The new line introduces a…

    How’s this for a QR barcode! Produced by Tokyo-based creative agency SET, it was put together to promote the ongoing collaborations between LV and Takashi Murakami. I’m pretty sure it’s the first time I see a stylized code like this, and I’m quite surprised that it actually works.

    OK Fred‘s Gorilla Store #3 is now over, but I still wanted to put up a few photos from the space, featuring Malin Baumann‘s items. Really loved the graphic patterns seen on the badges above — each one represents a letter from the alphabet. I’m hoping she follows through with what she told me and…

    Tramnesia’s terrific “Working” series of short video reports on independent businesses continues with yet another Tokyo-related company — previously Knee High Media and Postalco — this time the Depot Cycle & Recycle bike shop in Ichikawa.

    Year after year, I tend to have a love-hate relationship with Uniqlo. I won’t get into it, but right now I’m in a love period, having picked up quite a few things in the past week or so. First up is the latest “Designers Invitation Project” collaboration, this time with Opening Ceremony. I’m certainly glad…

    Tramnesia adds another great video to its “Working” series. It’s another international couple — following Knee High Media — this time Mike and Yuri Abelson, who run the stationery brand/company Postalco. I’ve seen their products all over the city, but didn’t realize they had a shop of their own — it’s in Kyobashi — which…
