A lot of work goes into the lifestyle/streetwear features in this magazine. Even though I can’t read Japanese, I like to flip through the photos and translate the pages one by one for outfit and travel inspiration
a magazine that is purely meant for calm, empty-mind flipping. i have no real awareness of my own aesthetic/sartorial choices but the “city boy” muse popeye has kept almost exactly the same for decades is a good mental model. every page is gorgeous and skimming it feels like eating a warm stew.
is a japanese magazine about art, design and travel. i mostly read the photography articles and haven't had time to check out their other stuff, but those alone are really cool :) definitely worth a read if you're into japanese culture
my favorite fashion magazine that comes from japan!
specifically harajuku in tokyo! it highlights fashion subcultures and unique styles in the streets of these communities. it had such an insane cultural significance at the time and a huge influence overtime as it challenged the fashion norms at the time. it’s curated and created such a bold and intense way of youths to express themselves :D!!
highly highly recommend going through schoichi aoki‘s photography if you can!
