SOPH. have set up a new retail outlet, this time inside the walls of renowned department store Hankyu Men’s Tokyo in Ginza. the aesthetic is clean and minimal, just like that of all the stand alone stores SOPH. posses throughout Japan. Ginza is home to a unique shopper so this makes for quite an interesting location as it is in stark contrast to the location of their store in Harajuku, none the less, very, very impressive.
