Music + fashion= PLASTICZOOMS
Playing cool music or wearing cool fashion is not enough. You need a combination of both.” That’s how Tokyo designer and musician Sho Asakawa described himself and his work in PLASTICZOOMS during an interview for MTV81 in 2013.
In about ten years of activities with PLASTICZOOMS as fashion designer, composer, songwriter, DJ and model, Sho Asakawa remained true to his own ideals and accomplished many different projects: PLASTICZOOMS as a band, PLASTICZOOMS as a fashion brand, and Venus Eccentric, his own accessory line. By naming Venus Eccentric as an homage to the UK punk band NEON HEARTS, Sho Asakawa doesn’t hide his roots. The line represents the punk movement, with no shortage of spikes and leather. Venus Eccentric combines the codes of street wear with punk, goth and fetish elements, using the materials to create handmade necklaces, harnesses, leather wristbands and so much more, all designed and made by the Harajuku kid himself, Asakawa. The PLASTICZOOMS own clothes and accessories are closer in theme to the band’s imagery, including black and white artworks and the recurrent logo, tattooed on the creator’s arm.The collections are always produced in limited numbers, and soldin alternative punk/shops in Tokyo. Some items are available online.
