Japanese photographer Yonehara Yasumasa recently continued on with his trademark photographic style as he invaded Taiwan’s Greyone Arsenal. On hand were a series of small-scale candid photographs each assembled in order and displayed via plastic casings. Having become well-known in Japan, Yone has quickly developed himself in various parts of Asia as he sees few rivals in his approach to sexuality and execution.

Los Angeles-based popular streetwear boutique Greyone has made its grand opening in Taipei, creating a huge buzz in the heart of the East District filled with small boutique stores and enthusiasts. The hype is mainly due to the fact that it will be the first store in Taipei to finally offer American streetwear brands to customers. Brands such as Crooks & Castles, Greedy Genius, Married to the Mob, Freshjive and more will be available on their first floor. They will also have a basement filled with sub culture art, music, photography and graffiti for the art-inclined. Hundreds of on-lookers aside, opening day of the event featured live graffiti from artist “Reach” as well as a number of celebrities to celebrate the momentous event.

As part of their 2008 Spring collection, Los Angeles sneaker boutique and brand Greyone put together two marquee pieces with local brand Diamond Supply Co. and New York’s 3sixteen. The Diamond Supply Co. t-shirt features Greyone’s crest and sade logo with Diamond’s own typography. The 3sixteen tee includes a combination of recent 3sixteen imagery with Greyone references to create a set of gauntlet hands wielding a sword. Available now at Karmaloop.

New samples from upcoming project between Greyone and K-Swiss have been revealed. Based on the a series of high fashion brands, the black leather upper with gum sole is based off of Louis Vuitton, the perforated leather is a tribute to Bally’s jackets and finally the red stripe pays homage to Prada. Each set includes a Greyone x K-Swiss t-shirt and two sets of waxed laces. The sneakers will release later this year at G1SA and Greyone’s online shop.
