Australian brand Ugg seems to have struck a certain chord with various Japanese brands this season. While being the footwear of choice for dizzy blondes in some parts of the world, Ugg boots were seen on the feet of models in WTAPS’ Extreme Prejudice lookbook. SOPHNET. has teamed up with Ugg to create two styles of the Tasmania sandal. Available at SOPHNET. dealers starting May 23rd.
As Hirofumi Kiyonaga’s crown jewels, the creation of SOPHNET., FCRB and Uniform Experiment represented a neat and precise way to offer varying degrees of refinement and style. Although there is some overlap amongst the three brands, many would say SOPHNET. is situated in the center as FCRB and Uniform Experiment offer something more casual and refined respectively. Here’s a look at some of SOPHNET. and FCRB’s offerings for 2008 spring/summer. FCRB leads the way with obvious sports influences while SOPHNET. comes through with polos and knits. The collection is available now at select SOPHNET. and FCRB dealers.
Visvim and SOPHNET. have joined forces once again in a series of items aptly titled the Black & White collection. Spanning the Logan, Gutter belt and Homer Tote bag, the collection involves two colors of each item in black and white, satisfying the legion of minimalist fans each brand has catered to in the past. The items will only be available as SOPH. SHOP exclusives releasing this Saturday, May 3rd.
In what started out approximately three years ago, honeyee.com has quickly become an important online destination as it represents a community for innovative ideas from some of the world’s most creative and influential talents.

The Japanese brand Sophnet. under the helm of Hirofumi Kiyonaga will be releasing a shop exclusive Patchwork Collection. Most people probably cannot pull off the patchwork look properly but if you think you can, this collection might be for you. Three different items are included in this series including a jacket, a shirt and shorts. Two colors of patchwork are available as well. As mentioned before, these are only available at the Soph. store in Japan.
In our opinions, Soph. has delivered the perfect collection this season with their brands Sophnet. and F.C.R.B. The Sophnet. collection remains casual yet mature while the F.C.R.B. collection incorporates sportswear with everyday wear with ease. Honeyee has published a feature on their website showing Sophnet. and F.C.R.B. styling as well as products. We look forward when this collection hits stores.
