SHUN SAN WON THE BEST EDITORIAL 2009!!






Our fashion editor of VOGUE HOMMES JAPAN, Shun Watanabe won the Best Editorial 2009 at models.com!!Click here to see the rest of the nominees as well.

And here are his happy comments for my readers!
Josh Olins and I came up with this idea of doing 80s icon story as it is for our Maximalist issue, March Issue.
We at first decided to do Boy George. However, we both weren't interested in doing him already appeared a lot and people easily recognized. As we did a lot of research on him, we found him with pale pink hair and wore punk fashion on a website called blitz kids, so we decided to create a story based on this.
We thought we would do just only male icons but included Glace Jones as she is really powerful and iconic.
As we worked on our brain storming, very sad news came in, Michael Jackson past away.
Then we lastly include his character as an hommage to him.
Josh and I both like this story so really happy to be nominated the Best Editorial 2009!!

3号目は装飾男子のテーマだったので、ビューティもトレンドだった80'sのアイコンを
テーマにしてやろうとフォトグラファーのJosh Olinsと話して決めました。
まずは、BOY GEORGE。でもBOY GEORGEのよく出てる写真では無くて、ヘアーがペール
ピンクでちょっとパンクっぽい格好をした、ちょっとレアな写真をblitz kidsというサイトで見つけてそれをレファレンスにして、ストーリーの方向を決めて行きました。ウェブや写真集から30点くらいレファレンスを探して、その中から選んで行きました。
はじめは、男性の80'sアイコンだけで考えていたんだけど、Joshと話すうちにグレース・ジョーンズも入れても良いかもということになり、モデルも7ページあるので7〜8人使おうということになり、よりレファレンスに近いモデルをキャスティングして行きました。
そんななか、マイケル・ジャクソンの訃報のニュースが飛び込んで来たので、マイケルのオマージュもやろうということになりその写真がBeauty Coverになりました。ちなみにBlondieのDeborah Harryのアイデアもあったんだけど、モデルがキャンセルになってのでそれはやらずじまいで。。
他には、忌野清志郎と坂本龍一の「いけないルージュマジック」もJoshにyoutubeで動画を見せて、アイデアに入れたり、セルジュルタンスの80'sの資生堂の広告などからレファレンスを取って来て、ヘア、メイク、スタイリングもかなり忠実に作ってみようということで撮影しました。
Joshも僕も大好きなストーリーだったので、models.comのベストエディトリアルに選ばれてうれしかったです。

My Desk is So Mess!


My desk is soooooooo messyyyyyyyyyyy!
We are indeed closing our final proof for May issue the day after, so my desk has become chaotic...
Need to tidy up as soon as we close it....
Need to back to work....
5月号の校了を明後日に控え、机が日ごとに汚くなっていく。。。。
これじゃぁ、探している資料がすぐに出てこない。。。
でもそんなことをしている暇はない!
仕事に戻ります!

VOGUE JAPAN DOG





I last posted pictures of Grace Coddington's cats, so would like to introduce a dog at this time.
His name is Daichi, whose mother is the secretary to our President.
He often come to our office with his mother and make us feel really happy.
He is such an adorable and beautiful dog, so beloved one.
And he is really interesting because he always want to be huggy even he is a medium poodle, he jumps over someone's arms and stay there for a long time. so cute...

先日、敬愛するグレース・コディントンのネコたちを投稿したので、今回は犬のお話。
社長秘書Kimmyさんの愛犬、大地君が編集部に遊びに来てくれました!
とてもかわいくてお行儀がよくて甘えん坊。かなりの愛されドッグです。
小型犬ではないのに、だっこされるのが大好き。
よくジャンプして人の腕に乗っかってきます。
あーかわいい。
動物って素敵です。
