Dear Shaded Viewers,

Last night there was a joint opening at Yohji Yamamoto and the Y 3 store.

It was like a gentle inch worm making it’s way across the cobblestones. Residents and onlookers were fascinated.

One of the crew took me up on a crane for this night shot. Inside there were more than 400 guests. The actual store is a nearly perfect brick triangle.
