Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building 1F The Stage

In the wake of the pandemic, the nature and value of fashion are undergoing a major transformation, and the trend in men's fashion is shifting from a mindset focused on others to one centered on oneself.
Amidst this, Men's Contemporary, located on the 6th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , was rebranded in the spring of 2022 as a curated shop embodying the "now" of Tokyo. Approximately one year later, a pop-up shop called "TIMELESS," expressing the "timeless values = new standards" that the shop has been exploring, will appear on The Stage on the 1st floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

This pop-up shop, themed "From the Past to the Future," will feature vintage traditional wear as a "reinterpreted standard" during the first week, starting January 25th (Wednesday), and modern wear as a "new standard" during the second week, starting February 1st (Wednesday). These two weeks are sure to help you discover a "new you."

FRONT GENERAL STORE, a vintage store originating in Brooklyn, has opened its Japanese branches in Yoyogi-Uehara and Kamiyama-cho. They offer high-quality vintage clothing, vintage jewelry, and original items, proposing genderless and timeless pieces.

Archaeology Studio

This shop offers a diverse collection of furniture that defies easy categorization, ranging from unnamed 19th-century antique pieces to hidden masterpieces of early modernism, transcending national borders and eras. Focusing on antique and vintage furniture with a deep, rich character that only comes with age, the shop also carries modern design interior goods and art pieces.

Modernware as a "new standard"

From the second week, OUAT , based in Nakameguro, will take the stage. During the event, they will be showcasing their original "008" collection, as well as offering exclusive items in collaboration with Omar Afridi .

Now in its eighth season, "008" proposes OUAT 's office wear based on the concept of "META META CONSERVATIVE," which reinterprets "007" from an even more meta perspective. The collection will feature main pieces made from heavy cotton twill, military jackets made from thick, soft nylon twill, and the "OFFICE BAG," which will be available in a new black color.

Furthermore, for this event, Sabukaru Online has created an editorial that reinterprets OUAT using the latest "008" and archive models. At the venue, the visual boards of the editorial will be on display, and limited quantities of Sabukaru Online's original product, the "Sabukaru NylonTech Cap," as well as long-sleeved T-shirts created in collaboration with Tokyo-based illustrators Johnny Terror and Yamepi, will be available for purchase.

Furthermore, the venue will be reselling Omar Afridi 's "PLEATED LEATHER HOODIE," which sold out instantly in the Fall/Winter 2022 collection, and will also be releasing a German cord version of the same hoodie used in their first collaboration with OUAT , exclusively for this event.

OUAT

Founded in 2019, OUAT offers products that embody a fashionable aesthetic, drawing inspiration from references, samples, cultures, and atmospheres gathered by designer Ryosuke Tamura from various countries he has visited. The high-quality products, created using the unique textures of imported fabrics and Japan's advanced sewing techniques, possess a quality that allows them to become vintage pieces decades from now.

THE MOMENTS

Encountering clothes, choosing them, wearing them, and adorning oneself...
When you reflect on the series of actions involved in fashion...
There's always a hidden feeling in it at that moment.

Fashion is a tool for self-expression.
Perhaps viewing it that way will make it feel even more familiar.

Because we live in an era where we can express our individuality in any way we like.
Fashion should also become more unconventional...
Brighten your mood through your attire. Lighten your steps. Become a different version of yourself.
It is full of possibilities that will lead us to new places.

To change our mood and expand our sense of self,
Something that allows me to connect with the world in my own way.
All of that is fashion, and it becomes your own style.
We will propose ways of being and enjoying this moment in time.
