Meeting Noritaka Tatehana [舘鼻則孝(タテハナ・ノリタカ) と会う]

Today in Shinjuku's Isetan department store, Lady Gaga's favorite shoe designer, Noritaka Tatehana, made an appearance along with a collection of some of his most iconic heels. His designs are very well-known in the fashion industry and can be found in a variety of fashion magazines from all over the world, as they are both crazy yet innovative. Upon hearing the news of his public appearance, we were beyond excited to meet him in person and see for ourselves the shoes that have made a name for themselves in the fashion design world. It was such an honor and pleasure to meet the designer himself, and fun to play with such amazing shoes!
今日は新宿の伊勢丹で、レディーガガの大好きな靴デザイナーさんと会いました。タテハナさん本人と彼デザインしたアイコニックな靴が登場しました。タテハナさんのデザインはファッション世界にすごく革新的、有名な靴です。または、色々な国のファッション雑誌で見つけますよ。こんな影響力のあるデザイナーさんと会えるのはすごく嬉しかったです！

These are Noritaka Tatehana's other brand, 

The Daughters, which are affordable sneakers (men's high-top sneakers in the first picture, women's  wedged sneakers in the second) that you may purchase at approximately $500USD.

このスニーカーはノリタカ・タテハナさんのもう一つのブランド「THE DAUGHTERS」です。伊勢丹で約49,000円で買えますよ。一番目の写真はメンズのスニーカー、二番目はレディーズのウェッジスニーカーです。

These were surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in!

すごく歩きやすくて、履きやすい靴です。びっくりした！

Swarovski crystal embellishments.

スワロフスキークリスタルで作りました。

Beautiful stingray skin!

えい皮ですよ！

You can actually custom-make your own pair of these shoes at a price of at least $4,000USD!

実は、このような靴をカスタムメードに作るのはできます。最低400,000円かかります！

Noritaka Tatehana will be at the Shinjuku Isetan department store again on 8/10 for his second and last meet-and-greet, so do check it out if you are interested!

タテハナさんは8/10 (土)に同じ場所で会う最後のチャンスなので、皆さん是非見に行ってください！
