A little infor on Yohji's collab with Mandarina Duck. I think the red dress/bag is absolutely brilliant, and naturally has laika's name all over it...
YOHJI YAMAMOTO/ MANDARINA DUCK COLLABORATION
If you thought no piece of luggage short of a Louis Vuitton steamer
trunk could get your heart pounding, an innovative collaboration
between avant-garde icon Yohji Yamamoto and travel-gear company
Mandarina Duck might just change your mind. Ranging from wearable,
functional, and surprisingly sensual clothing/bag hybrids that drape
sculpturally over the body, to understatedly chic totes that invest the
humble carry-on with a couture quality attention to details, this
quirky-on-paper collaboration makes perfect sense off the page.
I think the line is formally called Y's Mandarina.

Does the pricing seem weird to anyone else? The small goods at Takashimaya seem really overpiced compared to everything else.
