PPQ Dungeness crab

I went to PPQ on Clemente for dinner with 8 other people. Until this day, PPQ is still one of the best locations for crabs & garlic noodles. You should try it.

This is how it supposed to look like. I was too hungry to bother with the "before" picture.
we had imperials rolls, 4 crabs, 3 garlic noodles, sea bass, five spice chicken & a bottle of wine.
Gone in 20 minutes. :)

Directions for ’08 and up

As you can see, the collections have changed quite a bit. The approach that I’ve taken is much simpler than the ones in the past. The year ’06 and ’07 was a time for distressed and smeared route. Plenty of dark smudge, random inks, and burnt elements. Well I can’t speak for everyone else because many brands are still on that path. I think it was sort of the vintage style/look that everyone was going for. Anyways, with this new collection, I felt the market needed to redefine its direction once again and find a way to clear up the messy and disgruntled taste. Also, instead of focusing on “products”, designers need to start thinking about “product”, one item at a time. So with that said, each of aRMY wear’s style has its own unique and delicate details. Did you look at the neck labels? The whole season was a bold move but I’m definitely pleased with the result. It was my response to society’s endeavor for change. Glad to be part of it!

That is all that I can say today. Below is how we’ve changed. BTW, more fall coming soon.

Oldest Man Alive

Today, Tomoji Tanabe celebrates his 113th birthday. Wow! Can you imagine living that long? There is so much history that lies in that man. That's just insane! If I could, I'd love to shake his hand and pray that longevity is also on my side. Well, he says that his diet includes drinking milk everyday and staying away from snacks and alcohol. Hmm... so much for a long a healthy happy life. Well, at least the fortune cookie told me so. Ha!

Welcome to the new site - simple & clean

Finally, it’s up and running… a fresh new website. Completely simplified compare to the old one. Much cleaner, just like my new fall ’08 collection. So what do you think? The only thing missing on the site is the option to buy. I know it's been awhile since I'd mentioned this but I’m going to hold off on this section. After a long and difficult decision, I’ve decided to hold off on the online store until January 2009. This is part of a major change that will take place in 4 months. I’ll explain that in a little bit.

For the time being… watch this great video. Ha!

Chinatown and the pier

This weekend, the weather in San Francisco was perfect. The climate couldn't be any better for us to be out. Especially for those hanging out at Chinatown's Moon Festival or the pier.
