Marxy on Hysteric Glamour in Nylon Guys

I have a rather long profile of Nobu Kitamura - designer/founder of classic Japanese street brand Hysteric Glamour - in the Winter 2007 issue of Nylon Guys (on newsstands now!), thus completing my coverage of the Holy Trinity of Japanese Street Wear (Nigo, Jonio, and Nobu).

I think calling it a "Trilogy" or even a "Saga" rather than a "Trinity" is in order in honor of Ewan McGregor on the cover.

I also like how they're quoting a Gallagher, like it's the 90's again; which is in line with your general theme, no?

Marxy: He's made out with Nigo, Jonio, and Nobu and you haven't.

I wish I had made out with Kaneshiro...

Congratulations, but surely "Nylon Guys" must go down as one of the worst magazine names ever?

"Guylon" is worse.

wha'ts wrong with Nylon Guys? It sounds like a great title for
a New York Dolls album.
