Grimoire Tokyo 5th Anniversary Party

Grimoire Tokyo 5th Anniversary Party with Vintage, Antique, and Dolly Kei Fashion

Grimoire Tokyo is one of the most influential vintage boutiques in the Japanese street fashion scene. Not only is Grimoire a highly respected source for hand-picked vintage fashion from around the world, it’s also the birthplace of Japan’s Dolly Kei subculture. The artistic vision of Grimoire’s Hitomi Nomura goes beyond clothing alone. Nomura created a beautiful fairy tale world which many other Japanese girls – and even a few guys – have adopted as their own.

"A shockingly gifted young artist whose high-voltage perception and singular representation of the world around him, standing on both its immediate and historical ground."

"I’m an examiner – the obnoxious one in the gallery with their nose to the work. Scrutinizing the surface and detail but trying not to steam anything up with my breath." —JvL

Nadine Goepfert


Nadine Goepfert explores the idea that clothing is little more than a sculptural object, an everyday work of art that shapes and moulds and changes as we move throughout our days.

“What is the essence of a pair of pants (if it has such a thing)? Certainly not that crisp and well-pressed object to be found on department-store racks; rather, that clump of fabric on the floor, negligently dropped there when the boy stepped out of them, careless, lazy, indifferent. The essence of an object has some relation with its destruction: not necessarily what remains after it has been used up, but what is thrown away as being of no use.” 

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS light up Artitude’s new chandelier

Inspired by the patterns that occur when sunlight falls onto fruit-bearing vines, the shadows and colours created by the crystals symbolize life in all its vitality. 

Leading Taiwanese lighting company, Artitude, has incorporated SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS in its latest beautiful chandelier. Entitled Seeking the Light, it’s an intricate blend of East-meets-West aesthetics that combines sensuous waves of bent bamboo with gracefully suspended crystal pendants whose movements refract the ambient light. Inspired by the patterns that occur when sunlight falls onto fruit-bearing vines, the shadows and colors created by the crystals symbolize life in all its vitality. Light, yet strong and durable, the bamboo structure gives Seeking the Light a contemporary edge, while the crystals lend it timeless elegance.

Originally studied architecture at the Technical University of Vienna, his graphs of 3D visual sound waves aren't only informing but they create some beautiful shapes.

It ended up looking more like a t-shirt design and being too complicated for a logo, however it was fun to create.
