It’s been 12 years since Takashi Kumagai started men's fashion brand GDC. In February this year the brand opened a new store in Daikanyama, which featured a glass mosaic by Italian firm SICIS and a Tom Dixon Lightweight lamp in its stunning interior. This avidly followed brand is sure to bring out some fanatical followers to Le Baron de Paris, so be prepared for some madcap antics. Besides Mr. Kumagai himself, there is also a DJ set from Shinichi Osawa to look forward to!!
