I’ve added the UNIQLO calendar to the sidebar of this blog. Danny Choo wrote about it recently and after seeing UNIQLO’s equally awesome Tokyo Fashion Map I instantly fell in love with the calendar.
Click the little video and it will open the full calendar (with music). When you click the video in the full version, the current frame is frozen and broken up into a grid of clothes, where the colour of each piece of clothing is used to create a collage of that frame.
The video is in fast-motion and it makes it feel like a stop-motion video. On top of that, the tilt shift shots make it feel like the shots are of a little toy-town and not huge cities in Japan. I’ve always felt that Japanese cities feel like “toy-towns”, just because everything is so clean and everything is done so properly… it’s like a fantasy world.
