TFR

TFR is over. But check out TFR's owner new project for this year
Willa 2010
www.willapolis.blogspot.com


WILLA is the new thematic party run by Gallermic, the creator of TFR and Narziß, two regular events that grew into an unparalleled mediatic tour de force inside of the world of fashion and art, due to an exuberant visual and intellectual attack against mainstream culture in the Japanese society and in the globalized world. Taking into account this background, Willa is the ultimate sophisticated scenario to present Gallermic’s authentic reflections about life, the world, the human being, the good and the evil, the culture, the art scene, and most of all an excuse to show Galle’s exuberant ability to love. The objective of the party is to generate love and communication through a universal symbolism that reaches everybody’s heart. As Galle declares: “Willa is a party for the good flowers”.

日本語\\\\WILLA は、ファッションとアートの世界に偉大な功績を残した二つのパーティー、TFRとNarzißの創設者、Gallermicによる新しいパーティーである。日本社会とグローバライズ化された世界の主流のカルチャーに対する、圧倒的な視覚体験と知性による反撃を意図して開催されて来た。こうした背景を鑑み、WILLAは、Gallermicにとっての日常、世界、人類、善と悪、カルチャー、アートシーン、そしてとりわけGalleの愛についての表象を、究極に洗練された物語として送り届ける。このパーティーの目的は、すべての人々の心に届く普遍的な象徴を通して、愛とコミュニケーションを慈しみ、育むことにある。Galleの言葉を借りれば、「WILLAは善き花々へのパーティーである」。

インタービュー日本語
Interview in Enlgish:
DAZED: Could you tell me about the party that you are organizing right now? (The name of the party / When did you start having it? / How often are you having it? Etc… Give me the details!)
TFR: The name of the party is NarziB. Basically, NarziB is held every other week at Tokyo's most stylish spaces. We started the party from March 8th 2008.

DAZED: After establishing the party "TFR", you started having another party called "NarziB", what are the conceptual differences between those two? Also, what are the unite concepts?
TFR: TFR is a web magazine critiquing fashion, art and club culture in Tokyo. What differentiates TFR from other media is that we clarify our position and criteria on the issues we cover. The party we organized under the name of TFR was supposed to be the manifestation of our opinion. Therefore, we attempted to represent it through our fashion, the title of each party, flyer and everything. Basically, the concept of TFR parties were rather political and aggressive (ex. anti-globalization). We believe that TFR is something like a visual guerrilla trying to attack the mainstream culture. On the other hand, NarziB is a side project of TFR. Compared with TFR, NarziB doesn't necessarily intend to represent an opinion. It is merely for fun and networking. To us, there seemed like in Tokyo the so-called "community" is virtually non-existent. We want NarziB to be a cultural community for beautiful and individual people. We don't play loud music in NarziB. We want our guests to talk and know each other. NarziB is not fashion-oriented. A wide variety of people with different background are welcomed. As a matter of fact, our guests range from cultural figures like a film actor and an art curator to bohemian homeless. At the same time, NarziB is devoted to beauty. We have dress code for each party and the poor-dressed will not be admitted.



DAZED: Who writes the manifest for the parties?
TFR: Gallermic Mabuse

DAZED: How do you select DJs? Do you have a guideline for it?
TFR: We think there is a ridiculous overvaluation of the DJ nowadays. Specially in Tokyo, the Dj culture has reach the limit of idolatry, to become a Dj is the last burst of the ambition of the club kids. But why? It is like for Japanese there wouldnt be other way to be a star. And we consider that Dj ambition a misery of personality, lack of talent, and the worst tragedy of the parties along with Rave. Therefore, We are not music oriented. We want our visitors to get excited by interaction with beautiful people, to create community, icons and gossips. We rather select our guest Dj's by their cultural background and their beauty, and we called them the oldfashioned way: "selectors". Sometimes we dont even know who is gonna dj next party, we just improvised. Nevertheless, our music selection is rich. A wide range of classical, jazz, gypsy, global grooves, house, auld lang syne and cinephiliac music.

DAZED:What was the start of taking party snaps?
TFR: Just recording our memories.

DAZED: What/which kind of moment would you like to capture when you take photos?
TFR: Whenever as long as the subject is beautiful.

DAZED: What do you think about Tokyo party scene? How do you like to be placed in?
TFR: We don't really know what kind of parties are going on in Tokyo. We don't want to take ourselves within the context of Tokyo or anywhere on the earth. We prefer being regarded as a metaphysical concept without being restricted by biased idea, the name of a city or a country would possibly give.

DAZED: Could you tell me about the fashion style of the TFR guests? Do you have a special dress code?
TFR: Dress code = Individuality. Nothing is more important.



DAZED: Tell me about the concept of the exhibition you had this year, "POST NO FUTURE" at hiromiyoshii gallery.
TFR: Fashion is hentai. We can not help the association between something as superficial and hedonistic as fashion and the mere sexual pleasure full stop. Therefore, for us, a fashion personae who is not a hentai, it is an impostor, a traitor, an alienated puritan in disguise following trends who might just finish his days without a notion of personal style nor fashion itself. Fashion can be zoophiliac, necrophiliac, paediophiliac, dendrophiliac...all the paraphilias. And this can sound as obscene as fascinating, but most of all we are just trying to give an idea of the precariety of fashion these days. We spread fashion in all senses, and are here only to encourage creativity in personal hentalism.

DAZED: Do you have any plans to start up a new project?
TFR: Travel report by TFR's half Naokoula who is in a world round trip right now. And UBUROI, a fashion label for people who likes concepts like NarziB.

We have two kinds of journeys at the same time: the outward and inward. Our outward journey is governed by the clock and the budget, but inward one ignores the boundaries of place and time.

Narziß celebrated *Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome by Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus*



english\\\\Narziß celebrated "Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome by Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus" the 11th of October, 2008.
Legend has it that, frustrated by his insignificance and by the social intrascendence of his balls, the forgotten landowner of West Underground Tokyu, Abarishiasu San, had dared to cry out to Heaven, arousing thus the implacable rage of the God of Sky, Zeus, who threw a streak of lightning to his mansion in Shibuya, reducing it to ashes. In rags and more miserable than ever, the wretched Abarishiasu San summoned desperately Mephistopheles, the Prince of Hell, to whom, without preambles, he offered his soul in exchange for wealth and advice to obtain fame. Mephistopheles made him sign in his Red Book, and immediately thereafter, from the ashes of Abarishiasu San's mansion 3 black dogs of dazzling pelage were formed, which Mephistopheles would name Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus. 'Behold, the Trinity of Lust, Love and Procuring', Mephistopheles stated. 'These Dogs have the faculty to convert into any imaginable form to captivate and obtain anything from the mortals. Together, They will guide you to celebrity'.
Attracted by their superhuman instinct, the divine Dogs urinated in the most profound hole that the Zeus' lightning had caused in the area, where still the electric current could be percieved. From the contact of their milky urine and the electricity was produced the most excessive, sumptuous and cosmic salon of all time, covered with gold, silver, marble and astral crystals, which Mephistopheles would call The Pleasure Dome, where all mortal who entered would be given free rein to all his excesses. Being the propietor, Abarishiasu San would know the base passions of each one who enters his house, and thus he would eventually have all Tokyu in his hands. But Abarishiasu San, envious that visitors devoted themselves to voluptuosity exclusively, without him able to enjoy it (since love had not been his wish), separated Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus to diminish the power of lust of The Pleasure Dome. Since The Pleasure Dome was in a hole of the Earth, this belonged to the Underworld, whose God, Hades, brother of Zeus, governed. Hades saw that Abarishiasu San had separated the Dogs, and wanting to avenge Zeus went to inform his telluric colleague Mephistopheles. When Mephistopheles found out, he punished Abarishiasu San's profanation sending him to the Hell directly, and passed The Pleasure Dome's management to Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus, who spent their time captivating the inhabitants of Tokyu with their beautiful forms, and dragging them to debauchery at The Pleasure Dome ad infinitum.
Among the guests were TFR's image Nakao, G.V.G.V's designer Magu, Martin Webb and Yoshiko Kris-Webb, musician Allon Beausoleil, Uburoi's designer Mitsue Iwata, Eva's Seiko, Dolomites' Stefanko Balkano, Gallery Naruyama's Jason, Arte TV's Julie Terrason, artist Rereremojojo, Sister's Fuyuri and Narziß's image Sono.

日本語\\\\Narzißは2008年10月11日、「Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome by Cupid, Celestina and Pandarus」を祝った。
伝説によると、Underground西トウキュウの忘れ去られた地主、アバリシャスさんは彼の無意味さ、また彼のパーティーの社会的な影響の無さに落胆し、ずうずうしくも天に向かって叫んだ。これが空の神のゼウスの無慈悲な怒りをかった。そのためゼウスはアバリシャスさんの渋谷にある大邸宅に向かって稲妻を投げ、大邸宅は灰と化した。ボロボロでかつて無く不幸で哀れなアバリシャスさんは、必死になって彼の魂と引きかえに、富や名声を得るためのアドバイスをもらおうと、前ぶれなしにメフィストフェレス(地獄の皇太子)を呼び出した。メフィストフェレスはアバリシャスさんにRED BOOKに署名させ、そしてすぐにその後、アバリシャスさんの大邸宅の灰から、まばゆい被毛をもった三匹の黒い犬が現れた。メフィストフェレスはその犬たちをキューピッド、セレスティナ、パンダロスと名づけ、『見よ、肉欲と愛と招来の三位一体を』と、述べた。さらに、『この犬たちには、なりたいように姿を変える能力があるので、人間たちを魅了し彼らから何でも得ることができる。彼らはあなたがセレブリティとなる道案内するだろう』と。三匹の神聖な犬たちは彼らの超人的な本能によって引きつけられ、ゼウスの稲妻によってできた穴の最も深い部分へ排尿した。そこにはまだ稲妻の電流が残っていて、彼らの乳状の尿と電流の接触により、金、銀、大理石と星の結晶でおおわれた、古今の最も過度で、高価で、コズミックなサロンがそこに誕生した。メフィストフェレスはそれのサロンを Pleasure Domeと呼んだ。そこに入ったすべての人間は過度の無制限な自由が与えられた。所有者としてアバリシャスさんは次第にPleasure Domeに入る人々それぞれの卑猥な欲望を把握していったため、彼には結局トウキュウすべてが彼の手に入った。ところがアバリシャスさんは次第に訪問客だけが快楽を楽しんでいることに嫉妬するようになった。(なぜなら彼はメフィストフェレスに愛を与えるようには頼んでいなかった)彼はPleasure Domeの官能的な力を減らそうと三匹の犬、キューピッド、セレスティナ、パンダロスを離れ離れにした。Pleasure Domeは地球の奥深くまであいた穴にあったので、地底世界を支配する神、ハデス(ゼウスの兄弟)に属していた。ハデスはアバリシャスさんが三匹の犬をを離れ離れにしたのを見たので、ゼウスのために復讐したいと考え地底世界の仲間のメフィストフェレスにそれを知らせに行った。メフィストフェレスはそれを知り、アバリシャスさんの冒涜を罰して彼を直接地獄に送った。そして、キューピッド、セレスティナ、パンダロスにPleasure Domeの所有権を渡した。そして、キューピッド、セレスティナ、パンダロスは彼らの美しい姿でトウキュウの人々を魅了し、果なく続くPleasure Domeでの放蕩に誘うことに時間を費やした。

español\\\\Cuenta la leyenda que, frustrado ante su insignificancia y ante la intrascendencia social de sus eventos, el olvidado terrateniente de Tokyu Oeste Underground, Abarishiasu San, se habia atrevido a poner el grito en el Cielo, despertando asi la implacable ira del Dios Celestial Zeus, que le lanzo un rayo a su mansion en Shibuya, reduciendola a cenizas. Harapiento y mas miserable que nunca, el desgraciado Abarishiasu San convoco desesperadamente a Mefistofeles, el Principe del Infierno, a quien, sin preambulos, le ofrecio su alma a cambio de riquezas y consejos para conseguir la fama. Mefistofeles le hizo firmar en su Libro Rojo, y acto seguido, de las cenizas de la mansion de Abarishiasu San se formaron 3 perros negros de pelaje deslumbrante, a los que Mefistofeles nombraria Cupid, Celestina y Pandarus. 'He aqui la Trinidad de la Lujuria, el Amor, y el Alcahuetazgo', Mefistofeles expuso. 'Estos Perros tienen la facultad de convertirse en cualquier forma imaginable para cautivar y conseguir lo que quieran de los mortales. Juntos, te llevaran a la celebridad'.
Atraidos por su instinto sobrehumano, los Perros divinos orinaron en el agujero mas profundo que el rayo de Zeus habia causado en el area, donde todavia se podia percibir la corriente. Del contacto de su orina lechosa y la electricidad, se produjo el salon mas excesivo, suntuoso y cosmico de todos los tiempos, revestido de oro, plata, marmol y cristales astrales, que Mefistofeles llamaria The Pleasure Dome, donde todo mortal que ingresara daria rienda suelta a sus excesos. Siendo el propietario, Abarishiasu San conoceria las bajas pasiones de todo aquel que entrara a su casa, y asi eventualmente tendria a todo Tokyu en sus manos. Pero Abarishiasu San, envidioso de que los visitantes se dedicaran a la voluptuosidad exclusivamente, sin que el pueda disfrutar de ella (ya que el amor no habia sido su deseo), separo a Cupid, Celestina y Pandarus para disminuir el poder de la lujuria de Pleasure Dome. Desde que The Pleasure Dome estaba en un hueco de la Tierra, esto pertencia al Inframundo, cuyo Dios, Hades, hermano de Zeus, gobernaba. Hades vio que Abarishiasu San habia separado a los Perros, y queriendo vengar a Zeus fue a contarle a su colega telurico Mefistofeles. Al enterarse, Mefistofeles castigo la profanacion de Abarishiasu San mandandolo al Infierno directamente, y paso el manejo de The Pleasure Dome a Cupid, Celestina y Pandarus, quienes se dedicaron a cautivar a los habitantes de Tokyu con sus bellas formas, y a arrastrarlos hacia su perdicion en The Pleasure Dome ad infinitum.

Narziß celebrated *Le Boudoir de Danaé*

Narzib Le Boudoir de Danae poster 1-1

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *Le Boudoir de Danaé* the 27th of September, 2008.
Just as she is represented in Rembrandt's painting, I would love to be like princess Danae, waiting completely undressed to be saved by a divine love, on the most voluptuous bed ever invented. Imprisoned in the bronze tower, but convinced of her free, happy destiny, Danae is, in the meantime awaiting her rescue surrounded by the most elaborately gilded appendages, by the dearest exotic treasures, by the maestri's most exquisite sculptures, by the most worthy art pieces of her royal lineage. I would love to make love in that bed, and die for love as in Empire of the senses. At the same time, it would be enough with devoting my whole life to the friction of my body against the fluffiness of the mattress and the sophisticated white sheets. To wake up worn out everyday and increasingly thinner, with moisture between the legs, because of my having dreamt of Zeus making love to me in the Sky. To impregnate my cell with the musk aroma of my crotch. To invite my girl friends to my aphrodisiac boudoir, to frolic around in the nude in naive orgies, without hiding our uneasiness for being deflowered. And ending up sick, melted with pleasure, like Klimt's Danae, with Zeus in the form of Golden Rain, pouring between my legs...
Among the guests were singer Kahime Karie, TFR's star Nakao, legendary drag queen Vivienne Sato, socialite Yoshiko Kris-Webb, photographer duo Minori&Zoren (Mizo), Uburoi's designer Mitsue Iwata, photographer Yone, Dolomites' Stefanko, artist Rereremojojo, Shima's Sachiko, Sister's Fuyuri.

español\\\\Narziß celebro *Le Boudoir de Danaé* el 27 de setembrie, 2008.
Asi como es representada en la pintura de Rembrandt, me encantaria ser como la princesa Danae, esperando desnuda a ser salvada por un amor divino, sobre la cama mas voluptuosa inventada jamas. Encarcelada en la torre de bronce, pero convencida de su destino libre, feliz, mientras tanto esperando su rescate rodeada de la orfebreria mas elaborada, de tesoros exoticos delicadisimos, de las esculturas mas exquisitas de los maestri, de las piezas de arte mas dignas de su linaje real. Me encantaria hacer el amor en ese lecho, y morir de amor como en el Imperio de los sentidos. A la vez, me bastaria con dedicar mi vida entera a la friccion de mi cuerpo contra la mullidez del colchon y las sofisticadas sabanas blancas. Despertar todos los dias agotada y cada vez mas delgada, con humedad entre las piernas, por haber soniado con Zeus haciendome el amor en el Cielo. Impregnar mi celda con el aroma a almizcle de mi entrepierna. Invitar a mis amigas a mi afrodisiaco boudoir, retozando desnudas en orgias ingenuas, sin ocultar nuestra intranquilidad por ser desfloradas. Y terminar enferma, derretida de excitacion, como la Danae de Klimt, con Zeus en forma de Lluvia Dorada chorreandome entre las piernas...
Entre los invitados estuvieron singer Kahime Karie, la estrella de TFR Nakao, la legendaria drag queen Vivienne Sato, socialite Yoshiko Kris-Webb, duo fotografico Minori&Zoren (Mizo), la diseniadora de Uburoi Mitsue Iwata, fotografo Yone, Stefanko de Dolomites, la artista Rereremojojo, Sachiko de Shima, Fuyuri de Sister.

Narziß celebrated *The Abduction Of Yokohama Triennale 2008*

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *The Abduction Of Triennale Yokohama 2008* the 14th of September 2008.
"A Kid and his parents visiting their friends' house, having a happy family moment in a place that could be the Swiss countryside, with precious bourgeois chalets, but isolated from the real world; so sordid and exquisitely misanthropic in their soletude, like a castle in Transylvania, or a voluptous oasis in the middle of the desert housing a monster in its profoundities./ In spite of their conversing and laughing, only the silence reigns./ The family says good-bye and gets on its car, a red coupe. On half way home, the breaks fail on a sharp bend and the car jumps off of the road and staggers, crashing fatally against a huge tree. None of them..". I was more or less 4 years old when I was watching that movie. Somehow, I have the impression I was watching the movie with my father, on the bed. I don't remember the name of the film, nor of the actors, nor the whole story, just that exquisite and suffocating contradiction of meanings that arouse my sensuality in other way, rather abstract and obscure, in spite of the oneiric light and the beauty of the colors of the film (very Bergman -that is other thing that I now can refer). I Still consider that moment the first whisper of obscurity...
I refer to this episode in the interest of representing the rising of my artistic sensuality, and its fascinatingly mislaid path of obscurity. Ever since, I find artistic epiphany, pleasure, catharsis, suffering and glory, only in the abduction of my spirit. However, contextualizing Myself in the present, I think it's this itself, my sensual and morbid essence, the very determining factor of my reticence towards contemporary art -or towards the few things of it I've seen so far. In my opinion, the abstraction, the philosophy, the technology, the science, the consumerism and the simpleness seem to be above the emotional torrent and the search for beauty in other times (that I sincerely miss). I think the evolution of technics is overestimated, because it does not necessarily provide gratification. The imitation of reality is not a new thing, but lamentably the contemporary nuances look very aseptic or too real, to the point of needing an explanatory note to understand its simpleness.. Anyway, call Us old-fashioned, if you want, but despite everything, We are going to check the Yokohama Triennale 2008 with the hope of reconciliation; but most of all-> in the mood for love... By the way, thanks for coming o the party. It was very full, like the drawings of my favorite Adolf Wolfli, that abduct me-.
~>Among our controversée were stellar guest Terence Koh, film star Tadanobu Asano, film director Gaspar Noé, art dealer Javier Peres, GVGV's designer Mug, TFR's image Nakao, Junior Senior's Jeppe Laursen, Martin Webb and Yoshiko Chris-Webb, architect Megumi Matsubara, curators Kiki Kudo and Agatha Wara, Uburoi's designer Mitsue Iwata, Gallery Naruyama's Jason, Dazed&Confused's Sakiko, Vogue Hommes' Emi, Sister's Fuyuri, our guest hostess Vivienne Sato and Narziß's injured image Sono.

"Un ninio y sus padres de visita en la casa de unos amigos, pasando un buen momento familiar en un lugar que podria ser el interior de Suiza, con chalets burgueses preciosos, pero aislados del mundo real; tan sordidos y exquisitamente misantropicos en su soledad, como un castillo en Transilvania, o como un oasis voluptuoso en el medio del desierto albergando un monstruo en sus profundidades./A pesar de que conversan y rien, solo reina el silencio/. La familia se despide y se sube a su coche, un coupe rojo. A la mitad del camino, los frenos fallan y en una curva cerrada el coche se sale de la carretera y se tambalea hasta chocarse fatalmente contra un enorme arbol. Ninguno...". Tendria mas o menos 4 anios cuando estaba viendo esa pelicula. De alguna manera, tengo la impresion de que estaba viendo la pelicula con mi padre, en la cama. No recuerdo el nombre del filme, ni los actores, ni toda la historia, solo esa exquisita y sofocante contradiccion de significados que desperto mi sensualidad de otra manera, mas bien abstracta y obscura, a pesar de la luz onirica y de la belleza de los colores del filme (muy a lo Bergman -que es otra cosa que ahora puedo referir). Aun considero aquel momento el primer susurro de la oscuridad...
Refiero este episodio en aras de representar el surgimiento de mi sensualidad artistica y su fascinado extravio por el sendero de la oscuridad. Desde entonces, encuentro epifania artistica, placer, catarsis, sufrimiento y gloria, solo en el rapto de mi espiritu. Sin embargo, contextualizandome a Mi mismo en el presente, Yo creo que es esta misma, mi esencia sensual y morbida, el factor determinante de mi reticencia hacia el arte contemporaneo -o hacia lo poco que he visto de el hasta ahora. A mi parecer, la abstraccion, la filosofia, la technologia, la ciencia, el consumismo y la simpleza parecen estar por encima de la raudal emocional y de la busqueda de la belleza de otrora (que sinceramente extranio). La evolucion de las tecnicas me parece sobrevalorada, porque no necesariamente brinda gratificacion. La imitacion de la realidad no es una cosa nueva, pero lamentablemente los matices contemporaneos se ven muy asepticos o demasiados reales, hasta el punto de necesitar una nota explicatoria para entender su simpleza.. En fin, llamennos anticuados, si quieren, pero a pesar de todo, nos vamos a chequear la Yokohama Triennale 2008 con la esperanza de reconciliacion; pero sobre todo-> in the mood for love... A proposito, gracias por venir a la fiesta. Estuvo muy llena, como los dibujos de mi favorito Adolf Wolfli, que me secuestran-.

Narziß celebrated *Tokyo Fahion Week Attacks Rashomon Matsuri And Viceversa*

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *Tokyo Fahion Week Attacks Rashomon Matsuri And Viceversa* on September 5th, 2008.
Frankly, We only wanted to rescue the Fashion Week from oblivion by putting on our own show, allegoric, exquisite and jetsetter. Very Fellini, very elephant and lacking in any naïveté. Rashomon Matsuri. On the one hand, Rashomon is Akira Kurosawa's film based on two tales by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. The masterpiece, besides from owning our favorite esoteric moment in the history of cinema, is about the rape of a woman and the apparent murder of her husband. It is narrated by four witnesses with mutually contradictory versions of the incident. We love Rashomon because it is an allegory of Ourselves: fiercely subjective, owners of the truth. Raped due to our stunning beauty. Apparently murdered for loving too much. Thieves just because. Murderers just because. Egocentrics. Lascivious, unfaithfuls and liars. Almost all day skepticals/pessimistics, but at the end of the day We would like to have a baby. Shamanistics, in fact, We are the best medium of the region. And exotic creatures, set in the only Japan that we like: the one from 100 years ago towards back; but deeply unhappy... On the other hand, We have Matsuri, which literally means 'festival', and is a happening entirely folk and tremendous, a kimonoed binge. How come then We dare to wed the dark Rashomon with the radiant Matsuri, and thus sabotage the Fashion Week? Well in principle, just because, because We are Deux jeunes filles en noir aristocratic, filled with velleities, and always do whatever strikes our fancy. Because We believe in the hilarious theory of contrast. Because through the absurd we break down the routine course of reality. And 'coz, obviously, only We know how to exchange one vogue for another. Vogue, like Madonna.
Among the guests were film star Tadanobu Asano, GVGV's designer Mug, TFR's image Nakao, Martin Webb and Yoshiko Chris-Webb, curators Kiki Kudo and Agatha Wara, Uburoi's designer Mitsue Iwata, Gallery Naruyama's Jason, Dolomites' Stefanko Balkano, Shima's Sachiko, Dazed&Confused's Sakiko, Vogue Hommes' Emi, Vogue Taiwan's Lina, Sister's Fuyuri and Narziß's image Sono. Gallermic's outfit granted by Uburoi, leggins by Balmung. Music selected by Soft&Hard, Punkadelix, Anita San + Kaskay, Buvez Madison, Philou + TFR.

Francamente, solo queriamos rescatar a la fashion week del olvido, montando nuestro propio show, alegorico, exquisito y jetsetter, very Fellini, very elephant y sin nada de naïveté. Rashomon Matsuri. Por un lado, Rashomon es el filme de Akira Kurosawa basado en dos relatos de Ryunosuke Akutawa. La obra maestra, ademas de poseer nuestro momento esoterico favorito en la historia del cine, trata sobre la violacion de una mujer y el aparente homicidio de su esposo, contado por cuatro testigos con versiones mutuamente contradictorias. Amamos a Rashomon porque es una alegoria de nosotros mismos: ferozmente subjetivos, duenios de la verdad. Violados por nuestra despampanante belleza. Aparentemente asesinados por amar demasiado. Ladrones porque si. Asesinos porque si. Egocentricos. Lascivos, infieles y mentirosos. Casi todo el dia escepticos/pesimistas, pero al final del dia nos gustaria tene un bebito. Chamanisticos, de hecho somos la mejor medium del pueblo. Plus criaturas exoticas, enclavados en el unico Japon que nos gusta: el de hace 100 anios para atras; pero hondamente infelices... Por otro lado, tenemos a Matsuri, que literalmente significa 'festival', y es un acontecimiento enteramente folklorico y apoteosico, una juerga enkimonada. Como asi entonces nos atrevemos a matrimoniar al oscuro Rashomon con la radiante Matsuri, y asi sabotear la Semana de la Moda? Pues en principio, porque si, porque somos Deux jeunes filles en noir aristocraticas y veleidosas y siempre hacemos lo que se nos viene en gana. Porque creemos en la hilarante teoria del contraste. Porque a traves del absurdo rompemos el rutinario curso de la realidad. Y porque, obviamente, Nosotros solo sabemos cambiar una moda por otra, "Vogue" que le dicen, like Madonna.
Entre los invitados estuvieron la estrella del cine Tadanobu Asano, la diseniadora de GVGV Mug, la imagen de TFR Nakao, Martin Webb and Yoshiko Chris-Webb, las curadoras Kiki Kudo y Agatha Wara, la diseniadora de Uburoi Mitsue Iwata, Jason de Gallery Naruyama, Stefanko Balkano de Dolomites, Sachiko de Shima, Sakiko de Dazed&Confused, Emi de Vogue Hommes, Lina de Vogue Taiwan, Fuyuri de Sister y la imagen de Narziß Sono.
