Tokyo Street Fashion with 'Beams T'...Graphic Art meets Tees
Not that I am a clothes collector neither did I decide to write this piece because 'Fashion Week' is in full swing in New York City.
For Tokyo Thursdays # 4, I think that Beams T with its combination of Art Gallery and Fashion via T Shirts created the world over is a fun destination.
The folks at Beams T call themselves 'Art for Everyday' and they prove it.
On September 13, they hosted 'The Night Will Last Forever', a party/ art showcase with Stefan Marx (Germany) who creates graphics for Skateboards and Record Covers.
Amongst the designs that caught my eye were The Calm Center by Nick Neubeck for Los Angeles Label 2K.
Nick also does good deeds with posters for 'Amnesty International'.
Being 'The French Guy from New Jersey', I had to select Genevieve Gauckler, a Paris based artist with a light touch and fun characters such as this recovering Tanning Center addict .
She also collaborated with Comme des Garcons whose suits I would not mind wearing, I confess.
Genevieve also currently has a show of mostly Collage works at the Someday Store and Gallery in Melbourne (Australia).
Getting back to Beams T, they ship online orders to most of Europe, Hong Kong, Australia and the US.
If you happen to visit Tokyo, make a stop at Beams T and give me your first hand impressions.
That's all Folks!
