Parco, the Japanese department store chain with an iconic presence in Shibuya and other parts of Tokyo, has been around for 40 years. That’s a long time, so what are they doing to celebrate their anniversary? How about commissioning 40 artists, Japanese fashion labels, bands, and designers – including Tsumori Chisato, Bearbrick, Liz Lisa, Blythe, Rip Slyme, Moussy & X-Girl – to create limited edition drink cans with “Parco 40″ artwork? Sound a little strange? It is, but in a good way.
Here are some of those participating in this project:
Fashion Brands: Tsumori Chisato, Moussy, Ne-Net, Mercibeaucoup, Liz Lisa, X-Large, X-Girl, Tommy, and more.
Artists: Rip Slyme, GROOVISIONS, Miura Jun, Saruhage, Rieko Saibara, Yanai Michihiko, Nancy Seki, and more.
Characters: Bearbrick, Blythe, Golden Eggs, Detroit Metal City, Sento-kun, and more.
