There are few encounters in life more sensorial than our first day at Prada Mode in Tokyo. It is a cool, temperate day in May, when the sun dapples across the grassy lawns of the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum. A light breeze flits through, gently caressing the leaves on the trees above where we sit on clover-shaped wooden benches. Live music plays in the distance as guests chatter merrily all around. Small groups are starting to gather around the Prada bar—cutely adorned with the famed triangle—where bartenders are in charge of a selection of champagne, beer, sake and other nonalcoholic beverages. Hidden behind the bar is a food stand serving delicately packed bento boxes and fresh, piping-hot pizza by Pizza Tamaki Studio. Both bento and pizza boxes sport chic Prada Mode stickers, which the stylish crowd quickly becomes riveted by.

ALL AFLUTTER
Of the many Chanel symbols and icons, the feather is perhaps the most cherished by connoisseurs in the know. It comes from a lesser known part of Gabrielle Chanel's history. Before venturing into fashion and haute couture, Chanel actually established herself in Paris, in a boutique at 21 rue Cambon, as a milliner. Her first creation that was presented to the press in 1910 was a feathered hat. The latest Plume de Chanel collection of high jewellery pays tribute to the feather in all its lightness and supple movement. Six sets of romantic, evanescent jewels introduce a new, naturalistic silhouette, decorated with diamonds and an array of dazzling pink gemstones such as sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds.
