NEW & WTW
May Musings // TOKYO SLAM! // What To Wear
 
 
Get fired up by Tokyo fashion in MDLM's May Musings! This month, the WTW focus shifts from PUNK! to the invigorating fashions on the streets of Tokyo. A selection made by MDLM.
 
KTZ
Get your Tokyo Slam! with this high-shine cropped bomber jacket with oversized sleeves by KTZ. You'll be the wicked city chick your heart wants you to be.
 
 
 

 
BACK
Brace yourself when you are planning a trip to Tokyo and you've never been there before. Signs of the Tokyo fever: a spinning head, a desire to never go home and an array of mad cow disease symptoms. So, with a stained shirt from Back, you'll certainly survive.
TARO HORIUCHI
While catching the Tokyo influenza you might consider styling you're mad-cow shirt with this pair of palm tree printed trousers by Taro Horiuchi.


 
MIISTA
When coming to Shibuya, Tokyo, please take a minute to fall in love with the crowded intersection right in front of the 109 Tower. Before taking the escalator to the streets, take a peek through the windows and be amazed by the rainbow of people, large screens and the calmness of it all. (yes, calmness!)
 
 
 


 
OLYMPIA LE-TAN
So, to girly-fy your boyish look, add some sex with this lovely boxy bag by Olympia Le-Tan. We know you are innocent.

MAIKO TAKEDA
A purry cat face mask by Maiko Takeda for incognito partying until dawn.
 
J.W. ANDERSON
Already sold out in many online shops, there is something terrifyingly attractive about this t-shirt. The colors and the print of a frozen facial expression lacking emotion make it unbearably fashionable.

  CAMEO
A long, black front slit skirt revealing a black mini skirt to show off your killer legs.
 
 
SOPHIE HULME
This little black leather clutch by Sophie Hulme with gold-tone zipper and metal plating will carry all you need to take with you on a night out. And, your phone.

  J.C. DE CASTELBAJAC
The loudest pur still comes from your heart. You just have to listen carefully. Or wear this cute kitty cat mini skirt by J.C. de Castelbajac.
 
 
AKIRA NAKA
In search of a mini skirt that resembles no other mini? Search nog longer, for this mini skirt by Akira Naka offers biker, city & even bohemian in a second.

 

  J.C. DE CASTELBAJAC
Since everyone has a Kenzo knit nowadays, MDLM needed to find something as perky, quirky and fresh, so that you can look stunning and go to an event without feeling cloned. Notice the kitty ears...
GARETH PUGH
After a long night of die-hard Roppongi partying, all you need is a mega anti-hangover breakfast and a fast pull-on dress in black.
 
  
 
UNIF
Make your Tokyo trip a permanent disco. Or not.
 
 
 

OLYMPIA LE-TAN
Famous for her literary sell-out clutches, minaudières and malettes, Olympia Le-Tan offers style-proof vigilance. And, us cry babies can't stop moaning for they are highly exclusive and sold before you can say "I love it".
 
 
 
 
  
  KTZ
The Tokyo nights will never be dark, so add that dark spirit yourself with this hooded, sleeveless jacket with skulls, evils, knievels and terrors by KTZ..
KTZ
See-through like you've never seen through it before with a free spirit that could only by defined by KTZ.  
 
 
 
 
 
BOY LONDON
Rock the Andy Warhol history in style with this white t-shirt with black print.
 

 
GARETH PUGH  
When Alinde from MDLM started wearing platforms seven years ago, she was mocked by many. Litlle did we know that platforms would become a major asset in the ultra-fashionable closet. Indulge: open-toe wedge ankle boots by Gareth Pugh.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 CAMEO
Some of the best skirts come in pleats. This A-line Cameo skirt with maxi pleats can be styled for official appointments (to get a job and become big in Japan), rock-chic afternoons at a karaoke bar, diner at a sushi bar (mind the moving belt...) and a Yellow Monkey concert.

FASHION SPECIAL EXTRAORDINAIRE!
The Fashion World of Gaultier // From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk
@ Kunsthal Rotterdam has ended and will be travelling to Stockholm!
 
"And, while taking a peek in Gaultier’s magical forest of fishnet stockings and turbans hanging from the most beautiful trees, as if caught in a day dream, you might spot a masculine seductress, an innocent haloed angel, a Mexican macho girl or a glimpse of Dita von Teese. Maybe even the ancient Greek Parisian princess we’ve all been waiting for. Inevitably, all radiating perfect satisfaction, in sense and appearance.” – Alinde from MDLM.
