WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto Repurposes Archival Fabric in Limited-Edition Patchwork Cushions
Yohji Yamamoto'sWILDSIDElabel pushes the Japanese designer's signature deconstructed, vintage design aesthetic into new territory with its latest limited-edition release, which uses its archival fabrics. However, instead of offering an apparel capsule, WILDSIDE is applying the repurposed materials to a range of one-of-one patchwork throw pillows.
Each cushion features eight fabrics in a textured quilt of rectangular patches. Elegant textiles, including a woolen green and blue tartan and an ornate floral jacquard, are contrasted with military-inspired materials like camouflage sherpa and solid green fabrics with stenciled typography. WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto wordmarks are scattered throughout the design, following the stencil motif on the front and back sides.
While Yohji Yamamoto has released various throw blankets before, often through his Y's for Living line, the newest release expands on recent craft-oriented forays into homeware from his label. In 2022, WILDSIDE unveiled another limited-edition design project with EYEFUNNY, releasing a charcoal-toned stool adorned with floral designs. Later, in 2023, the label collaborated with Miyoshi Rug to transform its red flower motif into a tufted area rug. Like previous design projects, the cushions are made in an extremely limited run, stenciled by hand from 01 to 20, and come with a unique serial number.
The WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto Limited Edition Patchwork Cushion will be offered at 24,200 yen ($170 USD) exclusively at WILDSIDE's Harajuku boutique.

Japanese Bonds Rise as 30-Year Auction Brings Some Relief
(Bloomberg) -- Japanese government bonds rose after an auction of 30-year debt wasn't as bad as many investors had feared. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The Buffalo Architect Fighting for Women in Design While immediate market reaction indicated relief — yields edged lower after the sale — the bid-to-cover ratio of 2.92 at Thursday's offering points to a general lack of appetite for longer-maturity debt that is afflicting markets from Japan to Europe and the US. Several auctions of longer tenor Japanese bonds in recent weeks have met shaky demand, with the market flashing a warning that authorities in Tokyo may need to reconsider their issuance plans. The Ministry of Finance is set to meet with primary dealers on June 20, according to people familiar with the matter, just days after the Bank of Japan reviews its bond buying plans. 'The forward-looking attitude that the MOF is moving toward reducing issuance helped out the auction results,' said Takashi Fujiwara, chief fund manager at Resona Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. 'On the other hand, I don't think that supply and demand concerns for super-long bonds have peaked yet.' The 30-year bond extended an earlier gain, with the yield falling seven basis points to 2.875% at one point. The 40-year rate dropped as much as 8.5 basis points to 3.055%. 'With all this talk of issuance cuts, investors see little urgency in establishing large positions in super-long bonds until the Ministry of Finance clarifies its next steps,' said Shoki Omori, chief desk strategist at Mizuho Securities Co. 'The market appears poised for a period of watchful waiting.' Omori added that it seems some people failed to cover short positions going into the auction. What Bloomberg Strategists Say... This price action suggests bond traders were using the contract to pre-hedge the debt sale in case it went as badly as the recent 20-year sale. Traders will be relieved there are not any more long-term auctions to navigate before the BOJ meeting in less than two weeks. — Mark Cranfield, Markets Live strategist. Read more on MLIV. Japanese bonds have seen some relief this week after decent demand at a sale of 10-year notes on Tuesday, and after a rally in the US Treasury market Thursday on soft US economic data. Yields on 30-year Japanese bonds have come down from 3.185% last month, the most since inception. There are indications that the recent rout has pushed rates to attractive levels for some buyers. Investors can pick up bargains in Japanese government bonds despite a wave of recent selling that has spread volatility throughout global debt markets, according to Pacific Investment Management Co. Still, the auction results show how the bond market is concerned that the government's borrowing plans may not be sustainable as the central bank reduces its footprint in the market. Governor Kazuo Ueda hinted at the likelihood that the Bank of Japan will continue to slow the pace of government bond purchases next fiscal year, meaning that the board meeting on June 16-17 will be closely watched. Miki Den, a senior rates strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. in Tokyo, said 'supply-demand concerns will linger' until the MOF's meeting with primary dealers a few days later. 'I expect super-long term yields to remain flat or rise slightly,' he said. The bid-to-cover ratio at the sale was lower than 3.07 the previous month, and the 12-month average of 3.39. The lowest price was below that of a Bloomberg survey. 'The auction wasn't good, but within the acceptable range,' said Masayuki Koguchi, executive chief fund manager at Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co. The tail, or the gap between average and lowest-accepted prices, came in at 0.49, indicating weaker demand than at the prior auction. However, it was still shorter than at April's bond sale, which was seen as positive by the market, said Koguchi. --With assistance from Masahiro Hidaka, Masaki Kondo and Hidenori Yamanaka.

Puerto Rican reggaeton star and partners open Japanese-Latin restaurant in Miami
There's a new restaurant serving Japanese-Latin fusion in Wynwood. Casa Crudos is a collaboration between Puerto Rican reggaeton star Zion (formerly of Zion & Lennox, which disbanded last year) and twins Daniel and JC Rosario. The restaurant aims to blend the flavors of Tokyo and the Caribbean. The project is about legacy, says Zion, whose real name is Felix G. Ortiz-Torrez. 'We've made waves through music, and now we're channeling that same energy into hospitality, something that's personal, fresh and deeply rooted in our culture.' The design of the restaurant virtually screams Wynwood, with an indoor industrial feel with exposed ceilings and colorful lights, and an outdoor patio flanked by colorful murals. The menu ranges from tiraditos — salmon and the intriguing tuna parmesan — to ceviches, crispy rice to bao buns (pork belly, salmon, short rib). There are a variety of sashimi options, too, as well as rolls, including a barbecue truffle unagi roll. Shareable plates are also an option: shishito peppers, gyoza dumplings, chicken wings, mussels and more. Most items are just below or just above $20. There are also items from the grill, including sea bass, pork belly, barbecue ribs and the most expensive item on the menu, the ribeye ($50). Casa Crudos Where: 2445 N. Miami Ave., Miami Hours: 5 p.m.-midnight Monday-Friday; noon-midnight Saturday-Sunday; happy hour 5-9 p.m. Monday-Friday More information: @casacrudos
