Horiyoshi III

is the celebrated Japanese master tattoo artist

who specialises in creating full body tattoos or suits known as

‘Irezumi’.

Born in 1946 and birth named Yoshihito Nakano-

the artist styles himself as

Horiyoshi III

in honour of his late mentor, Horiyoshi I.

 

…

In studio

Using traditional Japanese tattoo imagery of

– fauna (particularly tigers, snakes, exotic birds, koi fish)

– mythological beasts (Asian dragon, Fu-Dog, the Phoenix)

– flora (lotus, peony, chrysanthemum, cherry blossom)

– Kabuki iconography from classical Japanese theater,

Horiyoshi III designs intricate/ornate ‘Irezumi’ (full body tattoo)

a painful and lengthy process, numbering several years.

Yet, the result is certainly awe-inspiring.

…

For Horiyoshi III, the instruments of his art are simple:

ink and pen, body as canvas-

the completed work:   complex, detailed.

…

In 2009

Steve Yuk, a client of Horiyoshi III

proposed establishing a fashion line of

menswear and womenswear

based on the elegant work of the master tattoo artist.

The following year

the Horiyoshi III clothing label was launched.

…

Handmade silk carves, signature shirts, cashmere knitwear,

edgy denimwear, statement jackets

are featured in Horiyoshi III collections:

a melding of exquisite Japanese tattoo imagery

on expertly crafted urban/modern inspired clothing design.

shoe designer, Tracey Neuls

…

New to her collection is the

Ally Lippizan Derby Shoe

all leather

wood heels

quirky pointed toes

white hairs with contrast brown laces

…

Derby shoes are kindred designs to brogues, Oxfords, Bluchards.

A distinct feature of a traditional derby is the shoe lace eyelets construction

which are positioned on top (as opposed to beneath)

the vamp (front section) of a shoe.

Unlike the Oxford shoe, which were worn for more formal occasions-

the Derby, dating back to the 1850s,

was for casual wear, more specifically hunting / sporting events.

…

The Ally Lippizan shoe is a design nod to a classic footwear.

…

Visit Ms. Neuls two independent London boutiques-

The window displays are eye arresting (so you will stop!).

The interior decors are whimsical fun (so you will stay awhile!).
