An oldy casual dining, “bills” produced by Bill Granger from Sydney and MAISON KITSUNE‘,” a highbred brand located in Paris and Tokyo produced by the creative directors Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki will produce collaborated items for the first time.

“MAISON KITSUNE‘ POCKET STORE” will open on the first floor of “bills Hawaii” on the 1^st of December 2017 and limited T-shirts and tote bags will be sold.

The owner of “bills,” Bill Granger opened the first “bills” store in 1993 in Sydney and he has been offering new styles of food. Currently, he owns 18 stores all over the world and “MAISON KITSUNE‘” established in 2002 will collaborate with “bills.”

This collaboration plan came about since the philosophies of both brands which have been offering new life styles resonated with each other.

The symbol mark of the collection “Hawaien” (people in Hawaii) is going to be pushed as one of the trend’s key words such as “Parisien” (men in Paris), “Parisienne” (women in Paris) and Tokyoite (people in Tokyo).

This collaboration is very rare. Can’t wait to see their new store.

It has been 5 years since Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s major debut in August 2011 and this year, Kyary has been doing lots to celebrate ー including her most recent gig in Hawaii! Kyary performed at a one-night special live event entitled  “SKY PerfecTV!

To fit with the commemoration theme, Kyary performed her oldest to her most recent hits, fuelling the excitements of the fans.

While Kyary performed one of her popular songs “Fashion Monster”, spectators seated in the 2^nd floor balcony seating stood up and jumped in time to the beat! The raving of the fans also continued through “Mi” and “Sai & Co”. Kyary soon became one with all her fans, bringing the event to its climax.

For her encore, Kyary gave her fans a slightly different premium performance! She brought a large Hibiscus flower that she bought in Hawaii on stage with her. She performed two songs for her encore and with that, the night came to an end. For fans who couldn’t make it to the live performance, catch the exclusive broadcast of her live from 7pm on Sunday 25^th September through SKY Perfect! Don’t miss out!
