Live in Tokyo? Want To Buy Some Italian Shoes?
Then you should head over to Tod’s, an Italian footwear retailer, on Tokyo’s Ometesando boulevard. At the very least, act like you’re shopping while taking in the grandeur of its ornate facade that branches out like a concrete tree, covering and supporting its six floors of overpriced loafers. In creating the shop, the architects had but 33 feet of street frontage to grab shoppers’ attentions with, opting to partially conceal and entice the public with a kind of concrete lingerie.

Pretty nice, will have to swing by Omotesando (note typo) again when I’m in the area. Here’s the building on Google Maps: http://tinyurl.com/a7ct6w

A continuous search of luxury and comfort, the desires of its customers innovating but remaining true to oneself, a concept of style and elegance that complements the story funzionalità.Una high profile since its inception in Piazza Carrobiolo4 Monza
