Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design and Bandai Namco’s Tamashii Nations are bringing their much-anticipated collaboration to New York City, blending Japanese craftsmanship with streetwear culture. Following a coveted debut in Tokyo’s Harajuku district, the collection arrives at the Tamashii Nations Store in NYC. Japan’s “#1 Collectibles Brand in the Heart of Times Square is having its special 45th anniversary of Gundam from March 1 to 17, offering collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to engage with Tamashii Nations and fragment design’s’ creative legacies.
