SO-EN Magazine Charity Flea Market.
In this month’s SO-EN magazine (July issue) there is a special charity flea market project where Tokyo’s top creators and designers have donated some very special pieces they own to donate to Japan Relief. Flea markets seem to be the most popular way that the fashion industry in Japan is trying to raise money to aid the north.
As for me, I was asked to participate so I have donated my (VERY VERY TREASURED) book “seven deadly sins”, which is a collection of Erte’s most famous works. I am a huge fan of Erte and art deco, and I have talked about him and this book in countless interviews.
I really love what uber-stylist and good friend Kyoko Fushimi donated. These sweaters are made out of socks- and next to is is Masamichi of WONDERWALL and his “earring on an ear” iPhone case.
Get the magazine and send in the postcard, picking out your favorite piece, and try to get it through lottery. I wrote a message and signed the Erte book, so I hope it provides inspiration for the lucky winner!
