Over the weekend, we did a brief drive-by at
Uniqlo on Broadway and were both surprised and delighted when we spotted a T-shirt with the L.A. bands
The Sads and
No Age written on the front and "Are my favorite bands" written on the back. Now, Smell favorites
No Age have been written about all over the place -- they even managed to eke their way into
The New Yorker! But The Sads, well, they are lessall over the place! Comprised of
ANP Quarterly's
Aaron Rose, regular PAPER photographer
Dan Monick, Melvins member
David Scott Stone and Moonrats-er
Aska Matsumiya, the quartet are known for their "silent" shows wherein the band plays, and their instruments are fed into a sound board and routed into headphones worn by the audience members! After further digging, we discovered that one of our favorite designers
Susan Cianciolo designed the shirt for Uniqlo! And then after some more digging (i.e. chatting with some people here at PAPER), we discovered that Aaron Rose and Cianciolo were once married. We feel like such a gumshoe!
Here's a photo of The Sads doing their thang:

The cuties lined up outside Uniqlo this morning to get their hungry little hands on the new Phillip Lim collaborations. Mr. Mickey went with PAPER's own Carrie Bodner who considers herself Phillip's #1 fan. The press was given an hour lead at 9 a.m. with the public allowed in at 10 a.m. Check out the line! Also here are some snaps of Carrie in one (yes just one) of her Phillip Lim for Uniqlo purchases. Also on display were the pieces by former Cloak designer Aleksandr Plokhov.
In other Lim news, his first boutique is opening in mid-July in Manhattan so start saving up girls!
