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. The feature gives more insight to how the project came about and how the shoe is not only commemorates Cliché’s 10th anniversary, but is also themed around the Euro’s 5th birthday. 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.

After New York, Beijing and Hong Kong, Nike will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Air Force 1 in Germany. The exhibition takes place at the Nike Spirit Room on January 25th. The party will take place in a secret location on that night but it’s most likely an invite-only event. For those who are in that area, this is definitely something to check out.
For those who aren’t fortunate enough to be at the event, you can take a look at some images of the space after the jump.
House of Cassette has been in the works for quite a while now. It’s the creative output of Peter Lee James and again boosts a whole collection, rather than being a t-shirt brand, which is rather refreshing. It’s based in L.A. and it’s focus are denims, very nice ones at that too. Peter was good enough to send some samples over a little while ago, and they’re killer. High quality denims, great finishes and good cuts. So good infact that Vogue France now even picked them up. Check the article here. Again, a brand to look for.
