All Things Cool 10/16/20

Lindsay Arawaka is a social media strategist and creative living in Tokyo aka super cool

Before moving to Tokyo, Arawaka lived in Brooklyn and worked for Refinery29 managing their social brands such as 29Rooms and more. She has worked with companies like Instagram, Sephora, GIRLBOSS, and VICE Asia.

Aside from CRUSHING it on the interwebs, Arawaka shares her personal artwork online and on Instagram. The images she creates are a combination of film photography and graphic design layered with words of inspiration.

You can follow Arakawa on Instagram and visit her website to keep up with her cool work or buy her art.

The #IVoted sticker game is strong

I’m like the many other Americans who requested a mail-in ballot for the 2020 elections—and can I just be honest and say I’m a little sad about it because I don't get one of these badass stickers.

This year the High Museum of Art and other polling locations have designed custom #IVoted stickers for voters to proudly wear after they have casted their ballots.

BTW— you’ve voted already, right? If not, remember that November 3rd is the LAST day you can vote. Need help finding a polling location near you? Visit vote.org and get a listed of places in your area. Let’s make it rain democracy at the ballot boxes this election. #SorryNotSorry

Design of Dissent at MODA, virtually

This exhibition was a part of MODA’s 2019 exhibition program and has now available to view virtually!

“The Design of Dissent examines graphic work that addresses social and political concerns in the United States and across the globe. The posters featured in this exhibition are drawn from two sources: an exhibition curated by graphic designers Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic that compiles contemporary posters and printed materials designed to address injustices and the body of work commissioned and crowd-sourced by Amplifier.” — MODA

I’m a big fan of this exhibition— I even wrote a review about it for Arts ATL. Be sure to check it out online and stay tuned for more exciting news about Design of Dissent.

フェミニン、モード、メンズライクを融合した日本発のリアルクローズブランドとして、人気、実力ともに着実にステップアップを重ねている「ENSORCIVET（アンソール）」。

繊細ながら強い個性を放つ女性に向けたコレクションは毎シーズン好評で、ほどよい甘辛ミックスのさじ加減とさりげない着心地のよさやディテールへの配慮は、一度袖を通すとやみつきになるはず。

これを機に���今シーズンデビューしたワークライン「ENensorcivet（イーエヌ・アンソール）」もラインナップし、2つのラインを同時に楽しむことができる初のチャンスが到来！

　

　

　

　

フェミニン派、クール派など女性の好みは多々あれど、「アンソール」はその両方を絶妙なバランス感覚で大人っぽく仕上げており、着た時のシルエットの美しさも日本女性の体型にぴったりで本当におすすめ。

また会期中は、銀座三越とのコラボレーションした下のブランケット（¥19,950）も登場。

こちらは1946年にジョン・リッチによって誕生したアメリカ最古のアウトドアブランド、「WOOLRICH（ウールリッチ）」のマークにも使用されている代表的なバッファローチェックを使用したもので、端はブランケットステッチで仕上げたこだわりのアイテムだ。

期間は、11月19日（火）まで。

ちょっとひねりがありつつ長く愛用できる、そんな着ることの楽しさを味わうためにもぜひこの機会に「アンソール」の世界感に触れてみて。

My first post about Japanese brand, Fadthree is dated August 27th, 2011, written at the moment when I first discovered the brand in one of my favorite shops. Posted here and below are all the images (with the exception of one) from the S/S 2012 collection avaialable at Addition Adelaide. I am in love with Look #1, the wedge sandals and all the stripe pieces!

Pass The Baton, one of my favorite shops in Tokyo hosted a pop-up shop during Designers Week at Isetan. I loved the mood they recreated, as usual, the visuals and the merchandise were unbelievable! If you have not visited Pass The Baton, you should do so soon. The biggest location that also carries the most fashion is on Omotesando. 

All photos from exhibit; Middle photo displays Pass The Baton tableware with original artwork made especially for the shop.
