...Half of the show is established names. This year we have Vera Wang, Derek Lam, Guiliano Fujiwara, and Andrew Gn, who are four of the biggest names in the industry. We always invite edgy, young designers. The other half of the show is composed of student designers. We invited 10 designers from Parsons and two RISD designers. We want the audience to look at the clothes and say, “Wow I never knew you could do that with clothes.” There are some really wild things. The bigger names are less avant-garde in their designs...
...Later, the brothers admitted that they had smoked marijuana in Los Angeles during a June sumo tour there. They later denied the admission; Roho said stable masters forced him to lie. Not everyone believed it in the first place. Michihiro Fujiwara, pharmacology professor of Kyushu University told TIME, "Generally, marijuana stays in the body for 72 hours to at the most one week." Still, police were unable to find any evidence of marijuana use when they searched the sumo stables of both wrestlers.

The Japanese nobleman lived through the country's violent transition from the Heian aristocratic era to the martial Kamakura shogunate, and was surly, severe and infamously ugly, as if malformed by the turbulence of his times.

We recall the first rush of our own romances upon reading the 10th century aristocrat Fujiwara no Yoshitaka ("I always thought/ I would give my life/ to meet you only once,/ but now, having spent a night/ with you, I wish that I may/ go on living forever"). And we sympathize with the 9th century court poet Ki no Tsurayuki, who takes refuge in happier memories when...
...without hesitation on the third line - "drags on and on" - and ended the poem with a smile. In the moment that followed, we both felt the echo of words that nimbly and delightfully spanned generations, cultures and centuries, and understood exactly why the Hyakunin Isshu is so enduring. Fujiwara no Teika may have shown the world a gruff, ill-natured and unlovely face, but no ogre had a heart more sentimental or more delicate...
