Midsummer’s done for the year and we’re back in action at full force. Moving ahead at full steam, we’ve already got our minds at the Autumn and Fall of 2010. Thinking about where we’re heading and what are we going to do? Who are we going to work with and at what degree. I am not going to give out too much at this point but there are plenty of positive challenges ahead of us.

They say times are tough but we’re still having fun and enjoying the journey to the fullest. Progress process is inevitable and times like these need creative thinking and perseverance. Remember who your friends are and don’t hate but rather spend that time to appreciate. Appreciate the things you’ve done and the things you’re about to do.  But just to say we’re good and we have new ish coming your way soon.

Since we’re on the topic of new stuff and I know most of you are bummed out about the Monday, perhaps even enjoying the Monday afternoon blues, I thought of cheering your day with interesting stuff I picked up from our friends at KIKS TYO. Now what you see here are teasers of teasers but all I can say about this is that I like. I already mentioned Kana Tsugihara and we can see some other familiar Sneaker Girls featured in the upcoming KIKS TYO tees!

So enough words, more photos. Enjoy.

More details will follow as this information comes available. But till then, should you have any questions about KIKS TYO, the shirts or just about anything, feel free to drop us a line.

Have a great week everyone, one love y’all!

I mean what’s really good?

Just writing that got me thinking about an older Cam’Ron ft. Juelz Santana song, Hey Ma. I remember the video used to have a skit with folks going “whazz gooooood” on the phone I mean like “whazzuuuuup” but what’s good. Got it? If it wasn’t this video let me know which one was it. A message to Ma at mi casa. Hey Ma! What’s really good?

Haha, it’s all good. You got a heavy history lesson this morning with the Momotaro Concept so thought of dropping some sneak previews to put balance into things. It’s all about balance, just like this edition is about KIKS TYO. The guys from KIKS have been dropping sneak peeks throughout the day of which I chose few that very much give an idea of what we can expect from the label this coming AW2010. The focus of the latest pics have been on Ms. Kana Tsugihara. A gravure model whose assets have gotten her plenty of attention. She’s one of the latest muses of KIKS TYO and ranks among the hottest as well.

The below pics are but teasers with Kana at her home rocking KIKS tees but all I can say is damn…

Here’s a little video on Kana. I thought the video would fit the day since it’s time for the Game 7 of the NBA Finals. She got game! There was actually another video (or many) about this lovely lady, but since I would like to keep the blog safe for office I chose not to post those. But if you want to see them, all you need to do is YouTube Kana Tsugihara.

I’m sure there are plenty of dudes who would not mind playing 1 on 1 with Ms. Tsugihara. Again, it’s all good. We will keep you posted when we get more pics, details and news from Japan.

That’s all for now, I will switch into chill mode and get mentally prepared for the Lakers x Celtics battle ahead. Be easy everyone, one love y’all…

SaturDay is turning into night. That’s all good, spent a day in a birthday party and saw a pair of well worn 0901 Momotaro Jeans that were actually torn and not just worn. At least from the cuffs. Today’s post is not just about that but more of a sneak preview of new stuff courtesy of KIKS TYO.

I will post more information on the designs once they become available on our online store but here’s what you can expect in a week or so.

KIKS TYO – Nanami Matsubayashi – Girl Next Door

KIKS TYO – Nanami Matsubayashi – Black Wings

KIKS TYO – Cut Off Tee

Fresh tees for the summer time. If you’re interested in ensuring that you get one of the shirts in your size, drop an email to info@nordicdenimhouse.com and let us know and we reserve one for you.

I’m off to enjoy my Saturday evening. Be easy everyone!

What a day, that’s simply all I can say. Multitasking on another level. But since it’s all good, everything packed, ready and we’re set to go. Hey, I wouldn’t be writing this if everything wasn’t done. I’m starting the week with just a little intro on why we’re going to Copenhagen in the first place. It all started when… No, nothing like that. We’re joining forces with the all mighty Momotaro and going over to Copenhagen Fashion Week to represent the brand big time.

The Copenhagen Fashion Week is full of fashion related events which pretty much revolve around the CPH-Vision and Terminal-2 fashion fairs. Naturally the whole week will full of fully booked show rooms and fashion parties plus the normal stuff like sales, heh. Our main focus will be on the Terminal-2 where we will be having our temporary headquarters together with the guys from Momotaro Jeans.

Terminal-2 is a streetwear and denim fair held in an old locomotive maintenance building, which means 9000 square meters of streetwear. It is meant to be rough and rugged just like the brands showcased there. Divided into segments such as Sport Fashion, Streetwear, Urban and High-End Denim the fair

Playing host to an impressive range of denim and streetwear labels and fashion companies, Terminal-2 is intended to showcase the universe that is characteristic of the urban, denim and streetwear lifestyle with shows, lounges, performances and music. The fair is segmented into Sport Fashion, Streetwear and both urban and high-end Denim needless to say we’ll be representing the denim side of things. And I quote, “with potential of being one of the most innovative fashion trade fair in Europe, Terminal-2 offers exhibitors and buyers alike an amazing space to infuse the building’s spirit and character. The slightly raw and unpolished surroundings of the new exhibition space play host to shows, performances and lounges in a young, energetic and inviting atmosphere. Terminal-2 is not just an exhibition hall, it is also a market place where up to 200 exciting street wear and denim exhibitors, the latest trends and international trade and fashion magazines from all over the world can be experienced alongside influences from music, art and culture.” (terminal-2.dk) I think that explains what the deal is.

We’ll also be dropping some updates from the CPH-Vision. Althought the two fairs have been pretty much integrated together there are certain differences. Where as the Terminal-2 has its focus on the streetwear, CPH-Vision presents you with Contemporary Fashion, Feminine Classic, Direct Fashion, Shoes & accessories and up-and-coming designers.

“The Vision” was started wit ha focus to exhibit Nordic design and has been running since 1998. Since then the show has grown to become an extensive showcase of international talent and style with attendants from all over the world (50% of visitors come from abroad). The fair is held at the historical Øksnehallen, and provides as the CPH Vision puts it “an intimate and exclusive platform for both established and up-and-coming designers.” (cph-vision.dk) The 5000 square meters provide plenty of space for different brands and designers to show what they got. We will be reporting more from the spot.

We will be at the Copenhagen Fashion Week from Wednesday 10th of February until Sunday 14th of February. What this means is that all orders placed during this time will be shipped on Monday 15th of February. You can still reach us via email. Just drop a note to info(a)nordicdenimhouse.com and we’ll get back at you accordingly.

But that’s not all I have to say. When I’m not climbing snowy hills…

…I’m actually working. One of the best things about this line of duty is the “new stock days”. Well today was one of those days. It’s sometimes as easy as getting the batch to your office door, but sometimes (usually) you do have to deal with things such as customs. But that’s nothing. It’s all worth it when you get to go through the stuff. I mean for real, think about the last time you got a set of new gear. It’s like Christmas every time, heh. Inventory, invoices all that stuff is secondary. So I’m going to leave you with just a little teaser of what’s to come. Once we come back from Copenhagen that is.

So check what’s happening through the blog, facebook and twitter. Oh, and if you happen to be in Copenhagen drop by to visit us at Terminal-2.

That’s all for now, the next post will be coming at you straight from the heart of Copenhagen. Wish us luck and may the force be with y’all and y’all. I’m out…

As some of you might have noticed, we have added some additional information and sneak peeks to our upcoming brand additions, QUOLOMO and erect81.

I have covered QUOLOMO in the past but just a quick follow up before the official introductions. QUOLOMO is a t-shirt, apparel and lifestyle project from Tokyo. Their creations draw inspiration from sub-cultures, artists, pop-culture personalities and Japanese animation. QUOLOMO means “wear” in traditional Japanese and it is focused on creating wearable items dedicated to the time tested sensibilities and standards of quality, artistry and originality.

The brand has released some very rare tees featuring the art on photographer Yone. I dropped a video on the Yone x Reach Partouze exhibition from last spring and below’s another one from the show.

erect81 again is a crossover of erotic art and fashion from Tokyo. Produced by the crew that brought you KIKS TYO and QUOLOMO, SEVEN UNDER the brand will bring you the same high quality just with on a bit more extreme level.

Below a little intro video to the brand featuring av gravure idols Kaede Matsushima, Naho Ozawa & Hitomi Hayasaka.

That’s all for now, we’ll be back with more soon. Stay tuned and stay safe, I’m out…

Although it does not really feel like a new decade, we’ve journeyed through one tenth of this century, ain’t that something. Well busy week behind all of us, needless to say more about that. But don’t get me wrong, busy is good.

Without further due, we’re throwing a little New Year’s promotion in celebration of the newly started year 2010 and the approaching year of the tiger. Use coupon code NDH-NY10 at the checkout to get 10% off from all of your purchases at Nordic Denim House.

Earlier I mentioned that New Year also means new products, not just from our existing brands but we will have two new brands available as soon as next month. I will get into more detail about these brands soon but below just a little sneak preview of what’s coming ahead.

Another thing worth mentioning is that we’re getting a re-stock of Momotaro Jeans Vintage Label 0201 -jeans shortly and if you would like to get these jeans in a special size just contact us for details at info(a)nordicdenimhouse.com.

Check our blog for updates on the newcomers as well as all the other stuff we feel is post-worthy. Another dynamic week is about to begin, so hope you’ll all get a fresh start. Be easy everyone, I’m out…

I’m back on the blog and it’s only Monday. Our new creative collaborator remy_le_beau continued with the Halloween ish yesterday so I was cooling off. But now I needed to write a little something because I realized that this happens to be our 100th post. Whew, it has not been that many months that we have had our online-front so it’s a nice little benchmark. Our pace has picked up in the past few weeks and we’re sure to be posting more stuff for your reading pleasure.

A while back we promised to get back at y’all on some additions from KIKS TYO. Well, we’ve got a batch of fresh white, black and yellow tees making their way to our online store. The pre-orders have been processed but we still have some sizes in each of the new shirts. Just a little pic before the official photos.

I think it’s good that every time you get the new batch of stuff, whether it’s jeans shirts or jackets, you always have that same feeling as a kid before Christmas. At least you know you’re in the right line of work, heh. We respect our denim for sure, but we do respect every piece of clothing we get from our friends (brands). Never get high on your own supply, but appreciate what you’re distributing.

Not going to bore you with much more today. Busy day behind us and we’ve got our sights set for tomorrow. Be easy y’all and stay fresh. I’m out, peace.
