Project Wooster has been the talk of the town here at Project. And it isn’t unwarranted. Japan being the central (but not exclusive) source of inspiration, Nick Wooster curated an exhibit that showcases a perfect melange of Japanese influenced style. The exhibition area houses handpicked items from such brands as Nexus VII, Visvim, Arc’teryx Veilance, Monitaly, RTH, Nepenthes, United Arrows and many more.
I’d seen the cover of Matter‘s inaugural issue on Yayo‘s instagram a few weeks ago and a relentless search for the magazine imminently proceeded. My friends at MAAS & Stacks came through, answered the call and sent one my way. A classy gesture to say the least!
The mag has a nice feel on the hand: matte finish & respectable weight. The cover is lighter than expected, but pairs well with the unpretentious non-grid layout of the text blocks; a carefully considered nonchalant kinda appeal.
First assignment for my design sketch course; sketch 3 things you use on a daily basis: Leica D-Lux3 / Porter Briefcase / Nike Lunarglide+ 3.
After spending a good 20 minutes searching for the WM boutique in Daikanyama, I somehow ended up finding the HQ where I was greeted by Thomas, White Mountaineering’s International Account Rep (pictured below). He then brought me to the shop where I got to shake hands (and perform a bow of respect) with Aizawa himself. He went through the SS11 line with me as I snapped away. Finally, I was given the rare chance to shoot some images of the shop.
With the release of the fourth issue of Inventory Magazine just around the corner, here are some outtakes from the shoot I did at the DLXE/BEDWIN offices. Hue and Jey were some of the nicest people I met on my trip. Big thanks to the Inventory crew for making it happen.
Did you pre-order your issue yet??
