The changes of the season are breathing new air into the Tokyo retail scene too. One of the most glossy and gorgeous boutiques Restir moved to a quiet little side street a few steps from its old haunt at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi.
The minimalist concrete space offers everything we expect- its just as intimidating as the last incarnation!
Going up and down the staircases we admired the black and white photography by legendary lensman Kishin Shinoyama (his office is on the top floor!), and then got lost in the paradise of racks and hidden closets that came into view. All of our prestigious friends like Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Valentino, Givenchy, Giambattista Valli, and more up-and-coming names including Fausto Puglisi, Ashish, J.W.Anderson, Each×Other and Atto (Paco Rabanne creative director Julien Dossena’s other child) are illuminated by a luxurious marble floor.
Well the space-just next to Restir’s Surf Side concept store and Le Ciel Bleu- is just too large to navigate on your own, so ask the pretty model-esque boys and girls to lead you around by the hand.
