The other day we showed you the Takashi Murakami t-shirt that was released at the Vogue Nippon x Comme des Garcons “Magazine Alive” store in Tokyo. Here now a look at the “Magical Priness” poster that was also produced for the occasion. The poster comes in an edition of 300 and is signed, as well as numbered. Our guess is, that it is already sold out, so you might want to start checking eBay. Via Number 3.

Vogue Nippon and Comme des Garcons celebrated last night the opening of their new collaborative “Magazine Alive” pop-up store. Housed in the same space that recently saw the Comme des Garcons x Louis Vuitton collaboration, the store presents a multitude of collaborative exclusive items with luxury brands from around the globe.

“Vogue Nippon and Comme des Garcons’ feted their new temporary store “Magazine Alive” in Tokyo’s Aoyama district Wednesday evening, attracting a large crown of fashion editors, Takashi Murakami and a camera-shy Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe. The space- the same one the Japanese brand used for its one-off Louis Vuitton boutique- sells an intriguing mix of fashion and accessories, from t-shirts bearing the manga likeness of Hedi Slimane, Marc Jacobs and Donatella Versace, to silk gowns from Undercover, knits from Martin Margiela and transparent plastic handbags from Loewe. The content of the store will change from month to month to coincide with the contents of each new issue of Vogue until “Magazine Alive” finishes its run in November. In keeping with the July’s manga-themed issue, Murakami decorated the second floor of the store with his signature flowers while Karl Lagerfeld crafted an original window display featuring mannequins clad in silver lame and miniature dolls in quilted get ups. “His face is like a manga,” quipped Adrian Joffe, CdG’s managing director and Kawakubo’s husband, as Murakami hammed it up for the cameras.”

It seems like the space is well worth a visit. You will find Murakami art, store exclusive items and a lot more. It will stay open until November and until then change every month to coincide with the content of each issue of Vogue Nippon – a great concept.

To celebrate the 10th birthday of Vogue Russia, some of fashion’s biggest names designed Matrioshka (traditional Russian dolls) dolls. Participants include YSL, Martin Margiela, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Versace and Ralph Lauren. The dolls will be auctioned off on November 20th with proceeds going to charity.

“The designers sketches were realized by Russian craftsmen, who hand-painted the 50 centimeter dolls. “Every Matrioshka is unique and a piece of art in itself,” said Aliona Doletskaya, Russian Vogue’s editor-in-chief. “Installation, sculpture, objet d’art – you can call it however you wish.”

Take a detailed look at the complete line-up of Vogue Russia 10th Anniversary dolls after the jump.

Recently Premium Label got a lot of attention for their Kate Moss Vogue Cover t-shirt. Now the brand presents an interesting remix of the popular t-shirt, inspired by Kanye West. Now Kate Moss is wearing the sunglasses out of his last song, and they added “You Can Be My Black Kate Moss Tonight” in the front and “Louis Vuitton Don” in the back. We have the feeling, this will sell out just as fast as the first one. Pic via BKRW.
