For those of you who are visiting Tokyo and want to stop by: get out at Harajuku St. (Yamanote Line), go down Omotesando on the left side (stop at Choco-croissant if you are french). Pass Meiji dori (Laforet is behind you on the left). When you see Wendy's at the corner just turn left. You are in the fashion victim paradise.
The pictures of the store link to the website when I could find it. Have a look.
Neigborhood is a strange brand for me but the store is worth a look.
The Vestax Shop. I went to see a showcase of Q-Bert last friday in there. Here is a video of the show:
Bape nerds. Bape is a very succesfull japanese brand. The main store is down the hill near Omotesando station but there is another one in this street, just in front of the Vestax shop.
Recon is not a japanese brand but it's nice. graffiti.
On top of this AF1-only store, a rag shop. There are a lot of second hand clothing around. Vintage T-shirts with Hard-rock bands from the eighties are popular now. Buy the way I am looking for a white T-shirt with a BW picture of Axel Rose. He use to wear it during concerts I think. If someone can help, please leave a comment.
Swagger, a new brand. Probably the hottest hiphop store in Harajuku this summer.
My favorite: the icecream store.
Bape Cafe. We stopped once with my girl friend and found Pharrell Williams seating in the next room... She still did not completly recover from this (Pharreeeelll Kakoiiii). Well...
X-large shop, not a japanese brand but cool, and very popular in TW too.
Stussy and Undefeated. Nothing Special about Stussy, just a big retail shop (ok, I dont like this brand that much). Undefeated has some very nice stuff, strange mix of streetwear and sportswear.
Beams is a very big chain of fashion store in Tokyo, they also have recored labels and this T-shirt only retail shop.
Nothing, I just find it funny.
If you want to find more, superfuture gives maps and information about the main shopping areas in Tokyo (others cities also listed).
