Only in Japan

Recently I have become more and more enamoured by the Japanese street wear aesthetic. By that I don't mean the all-over print hoodies by Bape and Ice Cream we saw nearly everyone from cool kids to crack dealers rockin' a couple years ago. In particular I have become a fan of the three brands managed by Japanese designer Hirofumi Kiyonaga: SOPH, uniform experiment, and F.C.R.B. Japan has always been ahead of the curve in terms of street wear due to their inherent nature to be experimental and take risks with their collections. Kiyonaga manages to blend colour and style seamlessly into classic pieces in all 3 lines. Too bad I can't get any of this stuff in Toronto. Get familiar here
