Postcards from Tokyo: Takeshita St

At first, I was pretty apprehensive asking people if I could take their photograph in Tokyo so mostly I didn’t and didn’t get to. Frustrated, I finally asked this sexy hairdresser if I could take his photo and he obliged. Thus, I began to ask more. Japanese guys cuff their trousers like nobody else. I photographed way more men than women. These weren’t all on Takeshita St, but I was. My favourite store in the area was Comme Des Garçons (Pretty sure I saw Rei Kawakubo!!!!!!), followed by the cute Mercibeaucoup, the architectural genius that is Prada Aoyama, the colourful Takashi Murakami designed Louis Vuitton in Omotesando. In Ginza, my favourite hands down was Lanvin.
