  • Metropolis 600

    —

    This week’s issue of METROPOLIS marks the big 600 for the magazine, and the cover feature is a fun look at 600+ tidbits (so massive it needs to be continued in the next issue) about the city. Congrats to the whole crew for making it so far! The weekly has been a constant (back from…

    This month’s SWITCH (October) is their 20th anniversary issue, and at the same time acts as a fashion issue. Coverboy Masaharu Fukuyama gets a lot of coverage inside, appearing in a few articles (fashion spreads, profiles). Fans of Chiaki Kuriyama might want to check out the issue, as she also appears in a fashion piece.…

    In case you missed it, issue 106 of the online Japanese magazine SHIFT went live last week. I haven’t had a chance to go through it yet (it’s been a busy week), but I did notice that the “Girls on the Street” column is from Iceland this time!

    The new issue of CASA BRUTUS (67) is devoted to trend forecasting in the worlds of design, fashion, and architecture. It’s a rather nice selection of drool-worthy items. They also include a small booklet that acts as a Tokyo restaurant guide (with 100 picks). In the front pages they include an interior shot of the…

  • Tokyo Brainstorm

    —

    I mentioned this first issue of the new Swedish magazine UZI — TOKYO BRAINSTORM — a while back, and I’m really happy to hear that the issue is now on sale. As Jesper says, “two Swedish guys went to Tokyo and met 13 artists and creators, among them my idols Groovisions. This is their document…
