Just a few years ago, Chris Brown was the 16-year-old boy next door, a teenager from the small town of Tappahannock, Virginia (population: 2,000), with a world of talent and big dreams. Today Chris Brown is one of the biggest selling artists selling millions of records worldwide and he has only just turned 19.

We were absolutely thrilled when Chris Brown and friends popped into our showroom yesterday to see a sneak peak of our upcoming . Everyone was a little star struck as he was kind enough to pose for photos with the Evisu staff and even signed a few shirts.

In the photo he is wearing the mochi daicock hoodie in midnight blue. It is 100% cotton 390 gram loop back jersey with a light rinse finish. We hope to see Chris again soon.

A man with a last name but a man that doesn’t need it. Say the name Kanye and automatically images of a man with style and eloquence pops in your head. Ever-known for his inventive fashion sense and good tase, Kanye upholds his roots but knows no shame when it comes to indulging in the finer threads life has to offer. So when Kanye stopped by the Evisu showroom, it was only a matter of minutes before we were talking about and Evisu’s latest . Classic, as always.

On March 30th 2006 Evisu organized an art exhibition in the Evisu Paris store based on the Japanese concept of “cubicle gallery”. Art was created in tiny boxes acting as miniature art spaces. We approached about thirty young artists, stylists and other creators, supplied them with Evisu and asked them to make a doll for the Evisu Gallery. Following from the success of this, another Cube Gallery was opened in Hong Kong to critical acclaim showcasing some 48 local artists.

Continuing the Evisu Cube Gallery tradition of supporting the arts, Evisu will exhibit in with local artists contributing to the project, with the pieces being auctioned at the end. Proceeds of the art piece sales will be donated to the children’s charity Care For Children. The exhibition opening will be held on 9th November at the Evisu Xintiandi Specialty Store in .

We hope to see you there!
