Ms. Motoko Watanabe made some time for us on a break from her Theatre Production Company in Tokyo.
She is part of a troop that does traditional Japanese dance.
I thought Chanel was expensive, but the typical kimono is $7K plus–that said, one look at the material and the cost becomes clearly evident—the fabric is sumptuous. If only I saw that kind of crafting in the latest CC collection.
On that note, Mr. L. has indeed dropped his prices for ready to wear Cruise 09. The handbags have upped their ante by another 25% (That means that ‘Classic’ you were buying for $1450.00 two years ago after two/three price increases is now over $2200). Happy Happy.
Nonetheless, I digress.

Thank you Motoko-san for meeting with us and introducing a different form of art.

At least now I don’t have to wait until I get to Tokyo Midtown’s RESTIR Boutique to top off my, ummmmm, toys.

KdM (sort of a twist on the ‘Marquis de Sade’—and what a fun Marquis He WAS) now sports a freestanding flagship (one might almost say a new erection) on Melrose. Take that Agent Provocateur.

I, of course, got the rose gold handcuffs. I haven’t used them, but it’s really fun to fasten to the belt loops of your jeans as you trot through airport security. Cheap (or Not SO Cheap) Thrills.

More on Tokyo Midtown.

Via Bus Stop (this was our first visit to their boutique and MANY kudos to their staff and savvy buyers). We spied racks of Viktor & Rolf, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens and a bevy of other designers chic and well pedigreed.

Let’s not forget Harry Winston. I’m sure Ben Affleck remembers him fondly. The appropriate pause for gasp of awe merited by the sheer weight of the stones in the window. Holy cannoli…and,

Praise the Lord (whichever, you pick) STARBUCKS.

And, we will expand on the FAB new Lucien Pellat-Finet salon on the second floor of this expansive complex. Irresistible choices for men and women and warm, lovely staff. Stay tuned to Cherry Hola for more…
