AOYAMA ITCHOME may be a name for a bustling train station in Japan, but it is also a name synonymous for a collection of whimsical, cheery dresses with bold prints and understated detail. After spending many years freelancing at Japanese fashion magazines, the designer, Hogo Natsuwa began designing for an embroidery house, which led him to rediscover creation and design; his greatest passion. Upon relocating from Japan to France, Natsuwa launched his first AOYAMA ITCHOME collection in 2001 and continues to expand the label with the opening of two stores in New York: Callalilai Brooklyn, in Boerum Hill and Callalilai Nolita on Spring St.
The intrigue of Callalilai is brought on by low lighting, homey décor, and seeping influences of French and Japanese culture that is seen not only within the collection of dresses, but also in the accessories line that consists of color-contrasted scarves, bright wool fedoras and oversize slouchy leather bags. The element of surprise comes with the size of the store. Upon entering, the appeal of the extended space of the shop makes it feel like one has stumbled upon a hidden gem. The spacious layout makes a wonderful feast for the eyes.
