After a stressful end of 2008 of last minute Christmas shopping and work, I decided to give a gift to myself for all the hardwork. To kick off my shopping habit for 2009, I picked up this Visvim Hockney in black from the Huf store on Hayes. Got to catch up with J-Billion and Nao on a few things like 2009 Huf goods. The shoes are a little pricey, but well worth it in my opinon.
Time is ticking away for you last minute Christmas shoppers. If you are in the “Bay” or L.A., you can cut the stress of guess what people want by picking up The Hundreds gift cards instead. Available at both Hundreds Store locations.
Kasuri is a Japanese textile technique that literally means “splashed pattern” and it is found in the warp or weft or both threads. Indigo dye is used for kasuri as well as pigment dyes and discharge techniques, such as what is used on this shirt by Real Japan Blues. This weaving and dye technique is very labor intensive and unfortunately, in today’s Japan, only a few elderly weavers of this technique continue their textile artistry. On the Black shirt the red print is from a Kasuri pattern while the white lines are painted on by hand with a discharge “ink” and on the Red shirt the black lines are from the Kasuri weave and the white lines are painted on by hand. Yes, we said painted on, by hand. Every line is a brushstroke. Available now State-side at Self Edge.
Huf is carrying the finest in Japanese goods at the 812 Sutter Street Location. They recently dropped these Original Fake collaboration items (tote, duffle, backpack & wallets) done with the help of Porter. The iconic Kaws’ crosses are done throughout all of these quality pieces put together by Porter. Great last minute gifts for those “fashion forward” friends of yours.
