"harajuku girls you got that wicked style..."

Saturday - Sunday, September 24-25, 2005




this weekend we went to yokohama, shibuya, harajuku and koiwa. it's pretty crazy how all of these kids dress. i bet most of them work at the bank around the corner or something. anyways i saw this one american girl all trying to dress like these kids and i was like, "white girl... please... don't even try. looks like you're wearing a halloween costume."


i definitely want to come back to tokyo during my travel week...



we also went to the prada store here done by herzog and de mueron. it was so exciting to see something that you've read about and seen in pictures of. it's AWESOME!! (pritzker prize website: http://www.pritzkerprize.com/2001annc.htm). obviously i didn't by anything b/c it's freakin prada and i'm not rollin in dough, but i did want to. they had some really nice stuff. the dressing rooms are similar to the ones at the prada store in beverly hill (by rem koolhaas) but but these ones are located in these diamond shaped tubes that traverse the buidling. i couldn't take anypictures inside b/c they didn't allow it.


we also saw toyo ito's tod's buidling. if you look at it, it resembles a tree. there are also no interior columns so interior square footage is maximized.
