“FANS.asakusa” Will be renewed 　to “fans.etenal”.at June17

Ten years have passed since FANS. We will enhance the deep support menu so that customers can enjoy the splendor. Furthermore, regarding the production of shoes, we will continue to improve the accuracy of the design on the premise of permanent maintenance from the stage of creation.

Considering shoes as living things that grow,
Create custom shoes – Give birth
Keep your shoes in good condition – maintenance
Add beauty and fashion to shoes – Make-up
When a part of the shoe is injured -Repair
Achieving individual expression through the unity of shoes and owners – Recrafting
Revive your shoes even when they are in a dying state – Reborn
We will continue to work on the above.

■Store name: fans.eternal
■ Location: Okamoto Building 1F, 2-13-4 Kaminarimon, Taito-ku, Tokyo
■ Business hours: 10:00-18:00 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)

The theme this time is “FOLK”, and the approach is to create modern shoes while looking back on the times when we lived in a small community.

Making things in the slow flow of time. Leather from familiar wild animals. Footwear unique to Japan.

I also took a look photo with the image of a virtual story, so please take a look.

2022SS

 

Hiroshi Arai’s Laboratory of “kutu” 2021SS Virtual Exhibition is start now.
My work is to turn leather into shoes to express life. I had a lot of opportunities to think about life and living because of an emergency of covit19. Therefore, the theme is “LIFE” this time. I’ve made up a work that can feel the difference between inorganic and organic substances, and also can feel leather is alive.
Please take a look.

The actual thing is in FANS.（ASAKUSA）

This Collection thema is “C(Carbon atom)”.
Life = organic matter, and its central atom carbon (Carbon). 2/3 of the dry weight of the animal be carbon. Existence that can take extremely diverse forms in both single substance and compound.
From such characteristics, it can be felt more organically, with the image that it is changing greatly in connection with the content of “(the shoes) becoming a monster” which is one of our main themes. We aimed at the finish of leather shoes.

Please do come.
