Japanese photographer Yonehara teamed up with Jeff Staple to create a series of photos starring Japanese Porn Star Maria Ozawa and model Sakiko Ann Suganno for a look book showcasing Staple Design’s 10th Anniversary limited edition T-Shirt collection. Also, for the 10th Anniversary Shirts, Jeff formed a collective roster of some of the most prominent names in the art and design fields to work on the designs. The design was centered on the theme of anagrams that reflected each artist in different ways. Figures such as Stash, Paul Mittleman, and Young Kim were just some of the people involved. Also, photos exhibited from Yonehara’’s first solo show at Staple Design’s NYC boutique, The Reed Space in December 2006 are now available for sale.
Staple 10th Anniversary Lookbook $30. Available at The Reed Space, NYC
Crooked Tongues has a great feature on the Cliche x Nike SB Classic shoe.

On top of that, CT did an interview with Cliché brand manager Al Boglio, Cliché graphic designer Eric Frenay and Nike SB’s Seb Palmer to tell us more how the project came about.
