Recently in Needs from Japan Category

I really love the new typography pins, vintage scaves, city mugs, and wool totes from United Arrows. Tokyo calling.

Truck Furniture in Japan just sent me a note about their new collections and I love the "Trucker" line of clothing, presumably for fellow or wannabe furniture makers everywhere. The Tonka Truck inspired t-shirts are pure genius.

The list of female-only clothing items I've owned or wanted to own is not a long one, but this morning I was reminded of a favorite. As a fourteen year old with a bedroom full of Sonic Youth posters, I styled a wardrobe (like most of my generation) on Thurston Moore. That was, however, until Tamra Davis' video for "Bull in the Heather." Perhaps it was the Kim Gordon design-connection, or perhaps the obscure but much-publicized Beastie Boys tie-in to X-Large, that explained why I wanted the X-Girl t-shirts they were wearing in the video, and I didn't even care that they had little X-Girl logos on them.

This morning, Topman sent out an email blast showcasing their new White T-Shirt Project, featuring offerings from Phillip Lim, Richard Chai, C Shannon, and more, but it was Henry Holland's (above) that caught my eye for it's similarities to the X-Girl shirt of my teenage years (and obviously the "H" design doesn't hurt either). Hilariously, at a staggering $60, it's probably more expensive than the original. Perhaps I'll just have to initiate a collaboration between American Apparel and Sharpie instead ...

Why are People surprised when they see that my iPhone is set to military time? I want to buy all the clothes in Sophnet's Uniform Experiment line. I especially like the ties and silk scarf.
