jason wu’s tokyo diary

Upon arriving in Tokyo, I dashed to Shinjuku to do some shopping at Isetan. It’s a fantastic store, with an entire building devoted to menswear and a whole floor just for bags! Afterwards, I head downstairs for a light snack—they have a fabulous international gourmet food “boutique” with everything from Pierre Hermé macaroons to candy-colored rice cakes from Kyoto. Then I hop on the train to Harajuku. It’s late afternoon and the gothic Lolita girls are out in full force in front of La Foret, a department store that has several floors devoted to Lolita fashion. This is my favorite area for people-watching because I always see something new.

Later, I meet up with friends for a shabu shabu dinner (where you cook meat and vegetables in a mini hot pot) at Midtown Tokyo. We stop by Estination at Roopongi Hills on our way there. There’s a private sale going on, and I can’t help but pick up a few more things! We end the night with drinks at the Park Hyatt, which has an amazing view of Tokyo. The neon-lit cityscape reminds me of fabrics that I picked out for Spring ‘09 a few weeks earlier.
