SEXY DYNAMITE LONDON, ALICE & THE PIRATES, H.NAOTO AT MARUI ONE: BEST PLACES TO SHOP FOR WOMEN'S CLOTHES IN TOKYO JAPAN.


sexy Dynamite London, vivienne westwood, Japanese punk rock designer clothing. Union Jack purses, retro 1970s punk rock era boutique, shop in Tokyo's marui 0101 young womens fashion shopping complex, coolest shopping areas of Japan.

Life is mad hectic in Tokyo, so this will be a quickie… Went to MaruiOne sale, which is also going on online. Street was closed off, department store was packed. Many of the shoppers were dressed in full Lolita. Tried on black leather gladiator sandals with silver star studs, but they only had size 22.5!! Despite the red tags, clothes were still expensive – $100 or more. Didn’t buy anything but took photos (coming up!).

Here are photos of the sixth floor of MaruiOne, taken during less crowded times. Sexy Dynamite London’s punk designs never really caught my attention.

h.NAOTO, on the other hand, takes up a lot of space in my brain. The new Marui gives h.NAOTO’s many sub-brands plenty space to display their wings. (The Hangry & Angry section will appear in a subsequent post).

Alice and the Pirates remains one of my favorites, although the current collection – striped pants, treasure chest purses, buccaneer jackets and wide-brimmed hats – is basically an updated version of previous seasons. On the right: S-inc’s new brand, Gramm. Much more on this collection tomorrow.

Lolita patterns and fabrics, Gothic Lolita sewing guides, mooks, Rococo costumes, Marie Antoinette long dresses, robes, pastel dress. h.NAOTO shop interior in Marui One, where to buy young Lolita cute clothes for girls, children clothes on rack

h.NAOTO’s rack of skirts made me feel like I was browsing Marie Antoinette’s closet.

I was big on pastels as a child, and still am now. In fact, my Cute Yummy Time illustrations mostly rely on a light green/pink/yellow color scheme!

Off to shoot a cute cooking MEETS Death Cookbook episode! I did a shaped egg episode with Basil a while back, and many of you asked where to find egg molds. Surf on over to J-List for all your cute bento equipment needs.

More Tokyo madness to come. PS: anyone know how I can get tickets for the Gackt (July 12) and Moi dix Mois (July 19) concerts in Tokyo??

    Aww, those dresses are really pretty/cute.

    And Gackt! How exciting! I hope you get to go. Have you seen the cover of one of his latest singles, “Koakuma Heaven?” It's funny…

      The new Marui has an Alice section in the middle of the 6th floor… it isn’t huge but it’s there :) Laforet still has an Alice boutique too.

        Very nice, I can’t wait to check it out. Though, I wasn’t entirely sold on the quality of construction of some of the AatP stuff I’ve tried on… Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by Yellow House!

    I love the Sexy Dynamite London store in Harajuku; it's got lots more rock stuff that's cool. Chunky leopard belts with lots of o rings hanging off, cool bags and platform boots etc…I spent up big there on my last trip! Are you heading back in July? I may be back there in August.

    There’s nothing quite as refreshing as seeing your favorite performing artists in person. The lights, the sounds, and the crowds will leave you feeling as though Kid Rock is in town just for you! At Ticketloot.com we guarantee that the cheap Kid Rock tickets you purchase will be the best available no matter how close to the Kid Rock concert date you start your hunt.

    Yeah same, Sexy Dynamite London never really tickled my fancy. But those Alice and the Pirates and h.Naoto dresses!!! Gosh my eyes popped out. So pretty!

    And I hope you get those Gackt tickets! And if you do I'll be one very jealous girl.
