Lovely bearded monsieur Alexandre Mattiussi popped into Tokyo’s Dover Street Market a couple of days ago to open a special AMI installation- an airport conveyor belt loaded with pieces from the 2014SS collection of his red hot menswear line. Look out for tropical patterns, camouflage patchwork sweats, and a super exclusive skate board personally customized by the designer. Attention! Its super limited edition. You don’t do skate board? Me neither, nor does Alexandre himself. “It’s for displaying” he laughed.
We are all in love with BOY, one of Tokyo’s favorite vintage outposts, which moved house right across from Shibuya’s Center Street last weekend.
Laid-back Tommy, the owner of the store, has a hardcore eye for 70s and 80s era clothing and music culture, and offers up an abundance of vintage treasures that enthusiasts can’t miss.
Pop into the newly opened boutique and you’ll find a series of genuine ma-1, specially customized leather motorcycle jackets or super rare Seditionaries’ t-shirts.

Giorgio Armani really flexed his muscles with his gorgeous Nomade couture collection.
GA simplicity amped up with decadent decorative details and gypsy girls bathed in shades of blue.
Add to that sprinkles of men’s necktie inspired patterns and majolica tile-like designs, head coverings in silk fabrics and glimmering colored crystals, and the chicest pant looks.
The maestro continued to bedazzle post-defile, it was One Night Only after all. The double punch show-Armani Eccentrico exhibition format was introduced in 2006 and has made its way to London, Tokyo, Beijing, Rome, New York and now Paris.
On display were 80 pieces from the Giorgio Armani and Giorgio Armani Prive collections in all their glory-accessory heaven we tell you.
The Reality Show’s esteemed host Tim Blanks toured the exhibition with us- he kicked off the curating duties with One Night Only New York-and then we got paparazzi’d by our favorite videographer Loic Prigent doing his duty as the creator of special contents for One Night Only Paris.
After that was a cozy dinner with 200 plus VIPs by chef Davide Oldani, and a quick portrait by Olivier Zahm alongside some new couture client friends who gave us a ride home. Paris looks sexy through tinted limousine windows.

He’s a mid-riff baring visual poet. If only he lived in the ‘hood so we could borrow some of his thingsss. But alas, he prefers to keep it exotic decorating the streets of Casablanca. The boy can’t help it, he is doing his duty spreading the fashion gospel with his own ultra special touch. I mean, who else could we create a story called Berber Grunge. Even Franca Sozzani is checking him out on Instagram-which image do you think she liked?
