A little peek in our showroom!

Just been a few hours at the Maiden showroom. We sampled a big collection but for the purpose of editing down to a concise view of Albam. It is coming but it takes time!

Bikes, Building and more bikes!!

Cycling is popular here, in a more relaxed way than London. Lots of one handed cycling whilst holding an umbrella, drink or cigarette in the other hand!

Buildings are awesome aswell. For those who know Tokyo this isn't a surprise but something that would have people talking about in England just seems the norm here so levels get pushed. The pictures here aren't of anything out of the ordinary but the setting and general style would be welcome for me back home.

Mother Kurkku - Shibuya-ku

Nice little cafe/bar in Shibuya. Interior was cool. I'm kind of getting jealous that London only has a few places and Tokyo has so many!

What a building!

Everywhere you look around the streets there is something to look at. This trad style building was cool. Run down but on a great little intersection near Nike, FIL, R Newbold stores in Harajuku. Cleaned up could be a neat Albam store!

Tomorrowland DB Jacket

Walked past this window with Gareth, it was for Tomorrowland. Nice little DB blazer in the window, slightly workwear esque, On the right lines for the next pieces.

Not Confusing, just can't read!

Wow, I didn't think that I could feel so like an alien but here I just walk around because I can't read anything! It makes a change from London as it feels quite relaxing!

Le Taxi.

Briliant taxi, slightly old style on the exterior and then you step into one of the best kept cabs I have seen. Definitley a level we don't go to back home. Lace covers everywhere and tea towels aswell!

Narita Airport - Tokyo.

Not the most inspiring photo but I am rather tired and sitting in the back of the taxi (yes with wifi) to go into Tokyo. But I am here and it is extraordinary in a very good way!

On my way!

Bags are packed and checked in! Sitting with TM at the airport waiting to head over to Tokyo. There should be a hefty number of posts coming in when I land!

The English Sweatshirt

Getting ready for Japan is a busy process. They demand more from a brand than most which is the best way to raise the game but it takes a concerted effort. Our sweatshirt is currently in it's 4th or 5th evolution with about 4 more to go before we have got the best out of Englands finest!

The story is great and the product is quite exciting as it is the only machine to our knowledge in the UK. If all goes to plan we may have them in the store before Christmas, even we will have to wait and see!
