i think there is a music festival around that time(fuji?)...however, im pretty sure those events are lotto style so if you decide on that good luck! also, usually at some point in august volgavolga has their sale. of course depending on the weeks, you might catch the tail end of some of the S/S moving out from some brands. if you are in osaka Fascinate always has a very large stock (or backstock) of devoa if you are into that. be careful around that time because its pretty wet and very very warm.

Going to Japan in July will be all over the country, any good place to cop some BBS?

basically youre better off buying japanese brands in japan, sounds obvious but until EPA (european trade agreement) actualizes (aw19) the prices wont be fun.

NUBIAN and Boutique w have mainline.

I'm very surprised La Grande Lue in Osaka hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the forum yet, I went just today and it's a truly amazing store specialising in vintage Yohji Yamamoto. Clothes are literally packed to the walls and hanging off the ceiling, and the condition on everything is very good, which is reflected in the prices. The owner, Mizogami-san, says that there are about 2,000 pieces from Yohji, and he's very welcoming and knowledgeable. まーsan is also really helpful and hilarious. Please go if you are in the area, it was 1h of train from the Dotonbori area but 100% worth it.

The store also has an instagram @masayukimizogami

Was just in tokyo the other week.

For avant garde styles, make sure you check out Gullam in Shibuya, Clique in Shibuya and also The Viridi-Anne (in Ebisu, one stop from Shibuya). I found that the viridi-anne boutique had limited offerings compared to their online store, however, still worth a visit and can be done along with the other two. Gullam was my favourite out of the three stores.

Can't say much about boutiques in other cities, however, Loom Osaka has to be one of my favourite Japanese boutiques with an online presence.
