VIVIENNE WESTWOOD & SEXY DYNAMITE LONDON: PUNK LOLITA SHOPPING, ORB LOGO.
God Save the Queen! We mean it, man! Sexy Dynamite London decided that Vivienne Westwood’s designs needed to be preserved for punk posterity. The Japanese and London brands squat together in Harajuku, in a store that combines SDL’s latest and Westwood’s greatest.
I wasn’t able to take sneaky photos inside the museum-shop, but you can see pictures in this previous post about Sexy Dynamite Queen. Both locations of Closet Child also carry secondhand Vivienne Westwood clothing, including furry skirts from the 70s and the original rocking horse shoes that Lolitas love.
Vivienne Westwood’s label logo is one of my personal favorites. The orb reflects that of the British Crown Jewels, while the planetary ring gives it a bit of a punk twist. The designer has always used a lot of tweeds and tartans, hence the nod to Harris Tweed’s signature logo

I'm glad Westwood has her admirers in japan, I watch her collections on runways and I admire her too, people don't give her enough credit for the lovely collections she has…
like always KUDOS ALL YEAR ROUND!
She is huge in Tokyo among the Goth/loli/punks! And well deservingly so :)

oi! im a sometime lolita-wearer and fellow blogger (i particularly like the craft and DIY entries!). as an english lit student (im irish, but studying in the UK) im always particularly inspired by the way you talk about fashion and pop culture with a sense of fun, but also a beautifully considered style. you always know when to take fashion seriously, while still preserving the humour and irreverence of japanese street style.
so i was surprised when i checked out the news on the Guardian online today, to find this somewhat familiar article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/nov/27/to…
i suppose its an intriguing and (kind of) well-known topic, and can only bring more publicity should you want to publish your book in Europe (which you absolutely MUST!!).still, hope the guy didnt plagiarise, and he should have at least linked to your page!
anyways, just thought id let ya know about it. keep up the fabulously morbidly fashionable work, and cant wait to read more:)
Hi there,
Thanks for your kind comments and for forwarding me the article! Rest assured that while my book covers most of the same places (and a dozen more), the writing is… not what you'd expect. It's as wild and crazy as the restaurants themselves. There is dialogue. Twisted fairy tales. Cross-dressing, disguises, cute Visual Kei boys, surprises! I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of it – it's not merely description and restaurant review, oh no :)
The book will be published in Europe – it's distributed by Thames and Hudson. Again, thanks for passing the article along!
