Whether its fashion or music, this man is always at the forefront.
Keita, aka Galliano, is a buyer for our favorite store in Harajuku, Cannabis. He keeps it well stocked with the likes of John Lawrence Sullivan, Ksubi and George Cox. Galliano is also an outstanding DJ. As well as being one half of ‘The Sullivans’ (alongside JLS designer, Arashi Yanagawa), Galliano also spins solo under the name ‘Pony’.
Meet Galliano. Buyer by day, DJ by night.
1- What is going to be going to be big this year?
At Cannabis, we always focus on loose fitting tops with features like drop shoulders and box silhouettes. The styles we offer are kind of a tailored street wear with just the right touch of elegance.
ドロップ・ショルダーやボックス・シルエットなど、トップスのゆとりの持たせ方にはずっと注目していて、 イメージではテーラードにストリート感や適度なエレガント感をミックスしたスタイルは常に提案しています。
2- Who are your favorite musicians of all time?
CHAKI (The Lowbrows), Furukawa Taichi (Riddim Saunter), Naka Masashi (Esc/Big Love), Matsuda “Chabe” Gakuji (Cubismo Grafico).

Mishuku Web, Shibuya Organ Bar and Nakameguro.

4- What are your favorite fashion brands or styles?
Styles with a generally ‘tailored’ feel. In general, I only wear shirts with a collar.

5- What is the last thing you bought?
A leather jumper by John Lawrence Sullivan- an amazing item I’ve had my eye on since I first saw it at an exhibition.

6- What is the last song you listened to?
Andy Wetherall- Sci-Fi Lo-Fi
James Pants- Welcome
7- Who are the coolest people in Tokyo at the moment?
He’s just an unknown, young guy from my hometown, but a DJ at Mishuku Web named Nesaki. I’ve got a lot of expectations from his charisma.
根崎という無名の若者がいるのですが、地元の後輩で三宿WebなどでDJもやっていて、彼の勢いにはとても期待しています。
8- Please recommend a new artist.
There’s a designer I’d like to recommend, but his/her collection is still not public so I’ve got to keep it a secret for now! But I think it may come out in S/S 2011. As for a hot new brand, I guess “Pester” and “DRESSEDUNDRESSED” are definitely first class.
期待のデザイナーがいますが、現在まだコレクション未発表なので内緒です。11S/Sに、お店で発表できると思います。 展開中の新鋭ブランドだと、PesterとDRESSEDUNDRESSEDが断トツかな。
9- Fuji Rock or Summer Sonic?
Fuji Rock.
10- Tokyo or Osaka?
Tokyo. I’ve never been to Osaka.
Tokyo。大阪は行ったことがありません。
Finally, what do you never leave your house without?
My iPhone and license, because I drive everyday.
iPhoneと免許。毎日運転するので。
Thanks a lot Galliano!
