TO & CO. is Japanese shoes brand which is becoming popular among fashionable lady.
It is featuring classical shoe design.
TO & CO.’s shoe designers works in Tokyo to catch Japanese trend and manufacturing is in Italy. I think it’s nice for Japanese market. Because Japanese people believe Italian shoes quality.
It has a flagship shop in Aoyama area.

I bought Mix Colors for Lips (photo) at RMK Aoyama store. It’s very “kawaii” by pink, orange and red gradation. There are the limited original cosmetics in RMK Aoyama store.
Eye Crayon（Purple and blue one were sold out !） is popular, white and gold one are limited. You should go to the Aoyama store, if you buy RMK cosmetics in Japan.

A first store in Japan of marimekko is “marimekko omotesando store”.
marimekko started as a textile brand in Finland in 1951. Now they sell a fashion interior, bags, and kitchen goods. It is the one of the brands to attract in Japan.
Followed by the last issue (World celebrities on Japanese ads), let me introduce other Japanese ads featured by the celebrities form overseas.
The most stand-out of this category is definitively the ad by a mobile phone company “SoftBank” featuring Cameron Diaz & Brad Pitt.

The TV ad is quite simple. They are walking on the streets or dancing while talking on their mobile phones. Each version plays an old hit music (ex. The Kinks”You Really Got Me”,Olivia Newton John “Xanadu”, Swing Out Sister”Breakout” etc.) as BGM, which makes it even more impressive. Well, they are not set as lovers in the ad, by the way. (Serch “softbank” in YouTube)
The partner of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is also appearing in a Japanese ad. She is selected for the ads of a luxury brand “INTEGRATE” from Shiseido, which is the most popular cosmetic company in the Asia region. I think the lipsticks look really good on her thick, large lips.

In the last few years, the Japanese fashion scene has been shifted from fashion magazines and famous brands to lead it, to the boys & girls in town to actually lead the “it” fashion of the time.
The Japanese fashion industry seem to watch and follow the phenomenon calling it as 、”Street Fashion” or “Real Clothes”. This shows on those snap shots taken by them on the street.
Let me show you some of the website that you can check out those fashion snaps!
