The team behind them have now launched a new site, Japonista Sole, with a variety of new designs, the first collection launching in December. Some of our designs have started pre-orders already, so we hope you can catch your size…

    Tokyo Art Beat is carrying a new tee (not part of the regular TAB line) produced by designer duo Noto-Fusai. As the name “Utility Pole” implies, the design not only draws graphically from the theme, but also includes three cables that are stitched into the t-shirt.

    Paul Snowden has produced a rather nice tee for Minimal Tokyo as part of his “Wasted German Youth” series. Wish I could have attended Ivan‘s event last week at the Vitamin Water event space in Harajuku.
