Diet Butcher Slim Skin. Japanese designer Hisashi Fukatami christened his label with the said name as it has a good beat and rhythm, a factor that he says influences certain designs as well. Founded in 97′ this label is fast gaining muchos props overseas. A champion of punk and alternative culture Hisashi designs carry those influences right through into his work quoting that alternative fashion to him ”means to be stubborn and to do what I want to do, to design what I want to design.”  He notes Jamie Reids graphics (the bloke who knocked out those ransom note style record sleeves for the Sex Pistols) as one of his first influences saying they “had a very fetishistic angle”.

The archetype material for the regular fetish joe is patent leather and this boot is draped in it with fat ass laces and a zipper on the side to keep em’ on nice and tight! These can be worn with either a pair slouch or slim jeans and royal blue is the  popular vibrant color for this Spring which can give you that wild contrast. They ain’t for nothing mind you but for those who don’t have a hefty pay cheque burning a hole in their pockets there are alternatives on the high street if you look around. Oki-Ni scored the deal as the only European stockists of the label and have these hi-tops in black and blue with more colors to arrive in April. Those naughty folk at Oki-Ni are keeping this on the DL until Monday but because they like us ya’ll can check em’ here first
