Large

In Parisian slang, “Morgan” means love or infatuation. You should be the person who selects just the right things for your true lifestyle. Clarify your position and demand quality and style; live with freedom and flexibility. Morgan is an international brand that supports young Parisians who do just that. The brand concept is sexy and cute. We focus on knits and offer a full line of coordinates. In addition to our Paris collection which comes out twice a year and presenting the latest trends, we also develop new displays monthly. We’re also working on a license for an accessories line to continue the Morgan concept through to an overall general lifestyles brand. Morgan’s target customer is the sexy and charming woman in her 20s and 30s who expresses her individuality and is particular about her shoes, bags, accessories and of course, her hair and make-up. There are diverse aspects to her lifestyle and she needs clothing that fits every situation.

Known Neighborhoods for street fashion in Tokyo

Shinjuku

“Centered around Shinjuku Station, a major transportation hub and the busiest train station in the world, this district is home to half a dozen major department stores, including several companies’ flagship stores; as well as outlets of Japan’s largest electronics retailers combined with a host of other shops and boutiques along its streets and underground shopping arcades.”

Shibuya

“Around Shibuya Station is another large shopping district that is the birthplace of many of Japan’s youth fashion trends. It is home to some well known, trend setting clothing stores such as Shibuya 109, as well as dozens of small fashion stores along its streets. Small boutiques, including high fashion and designer brands, continue to be found through to Aoyama and Daikanyama where the atmosphere is more subdued compared to the electric brightness of Shibuya.”

Harajuku

“Harajuku has a split personality with two parallel shopping streets that cater to very different shoppers. Omotesando, known as Tokyo’s Champs-Elysees, is a tree lined avenue with upscale boutiques, cafes and several leading designer brand shops. Takeshita Dori, on the other hand, is a center of youth fashion and counter culture found along a narrow street crammed with shops and cafes targeting the younger, teenage crowd.”

Ginza

“The Ginza features high end department stores, boutiques, art galleries and designer brand stores. Nearly every leading Japanese and international brand name fashion and cosmetics company has a presence here, as well as major electronics brands such as Sony and Apple. The shopping extends into the nearby Yurakucho area with more department stores, boutiques and electronic retailers.”

Odaiba

“Odaiba is a popular shopping and entertainment district built on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. The island is a trendy date spot, and its Aquacity, Decks and Diver City shopping malls cater to this crowd by mixing shopping with entertainment. Odaiba also has the Palette Town shopping complex with the Venice themed Venus Fort shopping mall aimed at young women.”

Tokyo Solamachi

“Opened in May 2012 at the base of the Tokyo Skytree, the Tokyo Solamachi is an exciting shopping and entertainment complex with over 300 shops and restaurants, including shops related to local Tokyo specialties and many unique souvenir shops.”
