Man Is In The Forest Taipei

Setting up for our pop-up shop grand opening tomorrow. The space was designed by Japanese botanical artist Makoto Azuma. All the plants in the installation are real, and use a new biotechnology where the plants do not require sunlight, and only minimal water to survive.

Azuma-san's designs "aim to increase the existential value of plants by finding out the most mysterious figure only owned by flowers and plants and converting it to the artistic expression."

Travelling Mickey Exhibition

Our Travelling Mickey exhibition launched today at Man Is In The Forest. Size Magazine did a great cover story for us. I love all the designs, but I have my eye on these few in particular that I'm gonna try to put a bid in for. Above is Golden Mickey, by Paris based graffiti artist Andre. It fuses a gold leaf-covered Mickey with Andre's famous Mr A character.

Makoto Azuma, a botanical artist from Japan, created this very unique Mickey Moss design.

But probably my favourite is Mickey Loco Does Compton by Mr. Cartoon, incorporating his East L.A. style of tattoo and lowrider culture to create this amazing candy-coated air brushed piece.

You can see all the designs and make a bid on our online auction here. A majority of the proceeds will go to charity, so please bid generously.

Travelling Mickey on Hypebeast

Hypebeast did a feature article for us on our upcoming Travelling Mickey exhibition. We gave 10 notable artists/designers from around the world a blank canvas in the form of a white Mickey statue, and asked them to create their own interpretation of Disney's most iconic character. Contributors include Andre, Cassette Playa, Dr. Romanelli, Eric So, and Mr. Cartoon, to name a few.

The exhibition kicks off in Shanghai on July 15th at Man Is In The Forest, then moves to Hong Kong, and finally to the upcoming Man Is In The Forest Taipei. During the exhibition period, the one-of-a-kind statues will be up for auction via online bidding, with the winners announced at the conclusion of the exhibition tour. Limited edition tees have also been created as part of the project. A portion of the proceeds from the auction and tee sales will go to charity.

Vintage Disney by Size Magazine

Size Magazine did a great special insert booklet for us this month, featuring Dr. Romanelli's Vintage Disney collection at Man Is In The Forest. In an exclusive interview, Dr. Romanelli talks about Disney, his passion for vintage items, and the way he deconstructs it and incorporates it back into his work.

This photo shoot shows some of the great Disney nostalgia that Dr. Romanelli was able to find, drawing from his vast knowledge of vintage warehouses, secret stashes, and collectors.

Vintage Disney @ Man Is In The Forest

Today we launched our installation of Vintage Disney by Dr. Romanelli at Man Is In The Forest. Dr. Romanelli has spent the last 6 months scouring the vintage warehouses and 2nd hand markets for collectable Disney memorabilia. He's dug up souvenirs, toys, and apparel dating all the way back to the 1950's up to the late 80's, from old metal lunch boxes and hand puppets, to crazy all-over print polyester dress shirts and vintage tees. He's even put his special cut and sew remix touch on a number of custom one-off Dr. X items.

CLOT x Deluxe x Disney

Here's a preview of our latest Disney collaboration. Deluxe Clothing from Japan designed these black & white photoprint graphics for a couple of tees.

Deluxe has become one of the most respected streetwear brands to come out of Japan in recent years. Their aesthetic takes the sensibilities of streetwear, but elevates the detail and quality to a premium level of tailoring. Their philosophy is to stay true to their design beliefs without compromise, even if that means remaining boutique.

Check out their website here.

The guys at Deluxe were all awesome to work with and we're really happy with the designs. The tees will be dropping at Man Is In The Forest March 13th.
