To celebrate the release of the December 2012 issue of UK magazine DAZED & CONFUSED, which featured guest editor Nicola Formichetti and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in a writtenafterwards outfit, Nicola will be holding a book signing event at Daikanyama T-Site. The event will be held on Thursday, January 31, 2013, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It is open to the first 100 people who pre-order or purchase the magazine. Also available on the day will be a limited-edition special edition set that includes a large bandana. The book that inspired the editorial, as well as items from NICOPANDA, the fashion label Nicola launched with his brother Andrea in 2012, will also be available in-store. Visitors will also be able to take commemorative photos with Nicola at a special photo booth. (※The special edition is available for pre-order online. As the product will be picked up on the day, it is only available to those who wish to attend the event.)
In addition, the fashion contest "NICOPANDA POP-UP CONTEST" will be held on the free fashion snap-sharing app "ZOOLOOK." Entry snaps can be taken at the venue's photo booth. Those who submit there, as well as those who vote via the app, will have the chance to win premium Nicopanda merchandise. (※Downloading the app is required to vote. Details will be posted on the ZOOLOOK Facebook page and the NICOPANDA and Nicola websites.)
After the event, Daikanyama T-Site will continue accepting votes for the Nicola Formichetti Fair and fashion contest until Friday, February 15th.
