located in one of those secret corners of harajuku's shopping mecca LA FORET, clothing brand H.T MANIAC is truly a hidden gem. designed by a gentleman in his early seventies, the brand's aesthetic is very otherworldly japanese gangster manga meets samurai mythology. fabric choices are bold while silhouettes are romantic. all the embroideries are outrageously poetic & if you got a chance, you need to pay a visit to their tiny but enchanting changing room with tatami flooring that hides behind a traditional sliding shoji door
