Fashion: The Sinz of Harajuku
Sinz was a crazy pop-up shop tucked away in the corner of one of Laforet Harajuku’s lower basement levels.
It looked like a record store: the walls were covered in vintage vinyl LPs and classic cover art from the likes of David Bowie and Talking Heads.
But on closer inspection, Sinz sold fashion accessories with a strong music / rock & roll twist: 12” discs that doubled as headwear, oversized boom box handbags, and wallets shaped like speakers and cassettes.
