Tokyo-based accessory label Liquem has linked with artist Takashi Murakami on a 10-item capsule consisting of earrings, pins, a necklace and vinyl pouch.
Explaining his connection with Liquem designer Wakatsuki Madoka, Murakami explained, “For the past few years I have been making sneakers and clothing, and Yuichi Wakatsuki @wakamoon has been instrumental in coordinating my undertakings in this area. I feel quite indebted to him.
“His wife has an accessory brand named Liquem, which sells its products via Instagram Live once a week, and he told me the business was going extremely well. So I checked it out one day and saw her, under the pseudonym Wakasama @madoka.wakatsuki and hiding her face, introducing her various products. I found it really amusing and got intrigued, and that’s how we came to meet a year ago and started collaborating on a project.”
Ranging in price from ¥3200 to ¥4900 and available exclusively in Japan, the collection will be available to pre-order on May 23rd on either zingaro.shop-pro.jp or liquem.net. Items will ship at the end of June.
