29th February Snow

Edgar Honggo

Posted on February 29, 2012








 

29th of February 2012 is special in many ways. Here in Tokyo, you get snow, chilly weather and slippery roads. Despite the unfriendly weather, this city looks best when snow falls. The crisp icy scene surely gives a three-dimensional quality. The news said that today might be the last snowy day of the year, and I see no reason on why I shouldn’t go outside and shoot. So please enjoy the pictures at the warm comfort of your home.

The Intersection of Fashion and Jewelery : g;fifty

Edgar Honggo

Posted on February 26, 2012








 

For generations, gems and gold has ruled women’s fashion. Then Tokyo local talent Go Fukushima and his brand g;fifty rolled in and changed the game. With its inception last January, we all hope that jewelery and accessories would soon invade man’s fashion. As a new generation of jewelery line, g;fifty is also nudging its way towards the mainstream fashion retailers. To break down the assumption that jeweleries are made soley for wedding parties, g;fifty is presenting you with on-trend accessory you can pull on all season. While they look great on a t-shirt and cardigan, these delicately crafted items are surely not just for people who dress down. As these bespoke accessories incorporates premium materials including 10K gold, ruby, diamond and silk strings. As Mr.Fukushima explains, while the influence of Italian style plays a part in the thinking process, the key is not over designing it. Nothing too colorful or flashy. Nothing too mature either. So fashionable guys and girls, get your wrists “hooked” with and lets break the stereotype.

Jewelery Koushou at Aki-Oka Artisan

Edgar Honggo

Posted on February 25, 2012








 

Valentine’s day may have past but there are enough reasons to visit this tiny jewelery gallery called Jewelery Koushou. For those unfamiliar, this studio was started by Shunsuke Noguchi and his wife Natsuko Noguchi. Both of them are at hand throughout the entire jewelery making process as their detailed amenities are 100% hand made. Their shop are particularly highlighted by its old craftsmanship style while the design is relevant with contemporary taste. The couple’s body of works ranges from 18 karat gold rings, pearl neckless and platinum pendants. As designer Mr. Shunsuke Noguchi puts it, their working process is very simple: They will select a certain material and craft them with careful attitude before displaying them in their store. Their store may not be the most picturesque store at Aki-Oka Artisan Akihabara but you could certainly feel the love vibes from the artisan’s works. So please check out all the goods when you are around, and ladies, please bring your man along.

Asakusa: Past and Present

Edgar Honggo

Posted on February 22, 2012







 

Tokyo is not all about its neon and business men in black suit. Its classic Asakusa area is just gorgeous as it has a particular style. Most tourists from both domestic and international loves it, as the neighborhood does offer you a real treat. Its ancient temples gives you a picture of its glorious past, while your senses will be triggered by the smell of baked sweet potatoes which collides with the scent of aging wood. As a former fashion writer, I was particularly intrigued with the people here and the way they dress. If you focus, you could witness a great mixture of past and modern Japan at every corner. So please take a walk and you will discover a whole friendly fashion scene that is made of tourists, locals, shop keepers and the legendary rickshaw boys in their extra tight pants.
