Golden Interview Week: No. 2 - Jean Snow

jeansnow.jpgJean Snow runs the Internette's most crucial blog about Japanese architecture, design, art, pop culture, and leisure - jeansnow.net. He also writes weekly columns for Tokyo Q on anime and design, frequently contributes articles to the gadget site Gizmodo, and acts as guest editor for the international travel guide Gridskipper. Without Jean's site, we with vested interests in Japan would be drowning in a sea of information overload.

1) Why is your site called JeansNow.net?

Because Jeans. Are. Now!

2) Are you selling jeans right now?

No, but I really should be.

3) How many orders do you get in a week?

Well, this is theoretical, but I imagine I could get a few thousand [pairs] out the door every week.

4) Levis or Edwin?

Muji!

5) What do you see as the greatest challenge for Japanese consumer society in the coming decade?

The reluctant acceptance of outsiders (non-Japanese) contributing to the creation of trends from within.

What a missed opportunity to question the lack of any critical faculty whatsoever over at Jeans Now... 残念ね~~

I'm mostly to blame for asking silly questions.
