We have seen a growing trend in regards to the use of accessories on sneakers with lace locks, and eye hole jewelery. However, the latest accessory trends come via Bite, a Japanese brand who have just released a number of fitted clips for hats. These clips can come to represent anything you choose with a plethora of choices with numbers, letters, and symbols. Bite has also collaborated with Liquor, Women, and Tears to create special edition pink 18K gold plated clips (available at Zozotown) as well as 18K gold plated clips at the LWT’s flagship store in Tokyo.

2K by Gingham had unusual beginnings when it started off. They globe trotted all around the world in search of interesting museum tee-shirts to be imported to Japan for sale during a trend of selling these aforementioned museum tee-shirts in fashion boutiques. However, as this trend cooled with the lack of new cutting edge contemporary designs, they began to take matters into their own hands and sourced out their own artists in an attempt to continue this free form of expression. This latest collection revels in the art created by Michael Leon of Stacks and Genevieve Gauckler.
