Love Lettou from FINAL HOME
April 5 (Thu) - April 18 (Wed)

From the brand FINAL HOME, presented by the designer Kosuke Tsumura, with love. A message of freedom and regeneration is transmitted based on the key words “Love Lettou.”
Following the event at ELTTOB TEP ISSEY MIYAKE/GINZA, select products from FINAL HOME, including the transparent FINAL HOME See through series and the Love Lettou series, will be offered for a limited time. Special installations are also scheduled during this period.


FINAL HOME
“If I were to lose my home because of a disaster, war,
or loss of job, what kind of clothes would I, as a fashion designer, offer?
And what would such clothes look like in good times?”

The HOME 1 nylon coat took shape in response to this question, which Kosuke Tsumura, the designer of FINAL HOME, asked himself. The product has been made continuously since the inauguration of the brand in 1994.

The concept of these products is clothes that can be tailored to personal use. For example, the coat insulates against the cold when the pockets are stuffed with newspapers, and it can be used for evacuation if you equip it with survival rations and a medical kit. The name “FINAL HOME” was given to this coat with the idea of it making it the “ultimate shelter.”


Exhibition: OTAMATONE
April 19 (Thu) to May 9 (Wed)

During this period, installations using the “Otamatone,” a musical instrument produced by the art unit “Maywa Denki,” will be in place. Although the Otamatone, looks like a musical note-shaped toy, is actually a functional electronic instrument that can be played. A diorama with Otamatones dressed up in costumes expressing various genres of music will also be on display.
On April 21 (Sat), a live music event by Maywa Denki using their original musical instruments will be held. You will need to reserve your space via e-mail to participate in this event. Please refer to the following information and visit our store on the day of the event.

Maywa Denki

True to its name, under the slogan of “more trees,” the corporation implements activities in order to increase trees, to multiply the number of healthy forests, to augment the amount of CO2 absorbed by forests, and to restore the water retaining capacity and the capability to develop biodiversity that are inherent to forests.
The corporation wishes to become a universal platform wherein everyone can share the real sense of joy that reforestation is progressing, and aims to cause a movement that makes progress in realizing a society, which relies on natural energy derived as a gift from forests, water and sunshine.

ISSEY MIYAKE
* THE WIND *

The SPRING SUMMER 2008 Collection of ELTTOB TEP will be unveiled on Thursday, January 10, 2008.

The theme of the SPRING SUMMER 2008 ISSEY MIYAKE Collection is “The Wind.” This collection aims to express various aspects of the wind, determined by way of observing the wind and then examining the surrounding flow of air and the natural setting. This collection offers an ever more sophisticated lineup of denim apparel through the “A-POC GALAXY” series.

* The collection offers a wide array of items inspired by the wind as well as a clothing line featuring weather pattern symbols indicating a variety of manifestations of wind, including cyclones and anticyclones.

matohu
* SHINO *

The theme of the SPRING SUMMER 2008 matohu Collection is “Shino.”
“Shino” is a style of pottery produced with the unique Japanese sense of beauty. “Shino” potteries began production in the Momoyama Period in the late 16th century, with the use of colors and shapes that exist in the natural surroundings. This SPRING SUMMER collection is characterized by an accidental beauty wherein the combination of nature and artifice has allowed for the creation and presentation of clothes that embody the abundant beauty of the “Shino” style depicted on pottery.

The new lineup of the SPRING SUMMER 2008 matohu Collection will appear at the ELTTOB TEP store on Thursday, January 24, 2008.

HaaT
* Blue Harmony *

The theme of HaaT’s SPRING SUMMER 2008 Collection is “Blue Harmony.” In particular, the brand is focusing on colors and patterns produced with Calico fabric.

“Calico” is the name generally used for “cotton fabric that has dyed patterns on it.” This type of fabric originated in India and has since achieved widespread worldwide appeal, and today we can find calico products in a variety of patterns and material. HaaT is focusing on the “Toile de Jouy” made at a factory in Jouy, France, between 1760 and 1843. The brand has arranged the fabric in a variety of contexts and launched this colorful collection with a sense of seasonal attunement.

ELTTOB TEP is closed on January 9 for getting ready for SPRING SUMMER 2008 launching on the 10th.
