The Japanese style guru wears a selection from our perennial and winter collections
On a sunny day in Omotesando, Tokyo, our friend Toshihiro Yasutake takes us for a walk around his adopted city.
We first met Yasutake due to his many years spent working at Beams, but he is also someone whose expression of personal style we’ve long-admired. “I grew up collecting sneakers and magazines,” he says, “which I suppose has grown into a life-long interest in clothing and menswear.”
Drake’s in Tokyo: A Conversation with Keiji Kaneko
In Aoyama with the man behind a great place to go shopping
One of the best things about clothing shops in Japan is that they often don’t really look like shops at all.
Boutique, opened by Keiji Kaneko, is in Aoyama, a polished part of Tokyo: Skyscrapers, office workers on their to and from something important, and a handful of fairly soulless and expensive stores by major European fashion houses. His, however, has the feel of something slightly more intimate. A quiet street and a single story building, a small collection of beautiful clothes placed behind vintage glass cabinets. The furniture looks like it could have been sourced for an exhibition.
