      Kinokuya bookstore in Shinjuku is great. There's a large selection of Japanese authors available in English, as well as Japanese fashion and design magazines.

      One Space Tokyo spot is also located in Shinjuku.

        The Space Tokyo in Shinjuku is not very good imo, but they had some Carpe boots in larger sizes (43,44) the last time I was there. I much prefer the one next to Parco in Shibuya which has a larger selection of designers discussed here.


        On another note, no sales before new years in Japan?

            Isetan in Shinjuku had a bunch when I was there. Big Yohji section too which was sick.
            Suede is too Gucci.

                10 Corso Como is pretty boring actually. I'll just keep the very small selection of Paul Harnden, that's all. The one in Seoul is much more exciting.
                I agree with Jumpoff regarding Space Tokyo in Shinjuku. Nothing to see.
                Midwest Shibuya is a mess these days. It used to be a great store though
                Have you already talked about Boutique W in Omotesando? One of the best spot imo, with LIFT naturely.

                  Yes, 10 Corso Como might be boring, but IIRC they do offer a wide range of Junya goods.

                            Just come quick comments on your Aoyama list:

                            L'eclaireur is closed down now.
                            Loveless is a bit ... well if you're in the area pop in but don't sweat it.

                            Cradle (optical tailor) in Aoyama is hands down THE best glasses store in the world. def worth a visit if you need glasses of any sort.

                              I would skip Opening Ceremony. It's terrible and such a waste of space. Best thing about it is the Muji in the basement. Beams in Harajuku is pretty uninteresting too. Viridi-Anne is somewhat in the middle of nowhere, so if you have limited time and is not looking for anything special I would skip it as Mindtrive, Midwest, Isetan, and Lift Ecru all stock V-A. The space is nice though. Agree with swych about Loveless.

                              You could add Space and Ragtag in Shinjuku to your list. Not very good either of them, but you could strike lucky, and they're 50m apart. When you're at Isetan, be sure to check out the depachika in the womens building (food and pastries at the bottom floor), it's the best in the city. There's a JS Luxe that sells womens Paul Harnden close to Isetan.

                              If you're going to any other areas than the usual suspects, you should check out Carrefour in Jiyugaoka and/or AL in Kichijoji.

                                Yep, definitely worth checking out. Same goes for Kind in Shinjuku.
                                Suede is too Gucci.
