‘Toot’, an underwear brand originating from Japan, is now one of the hottest underwear brands in Asia. The company started in 2001, and its unique playful designs were instant hit in its home market. Its popularity spread across Asia, and has recently reached Europe.

All of Toot’s underwear is made in Japan using high quality cotton and nylon, and high quality ink gives the distinctive, vivid colours to designs. This season Toot offers a wide range of boxers with colourful, contrasting prints, playful designs, and teasing text, such as ‘Be my boy’.

This week Out There’s style blog has selected some amazing pieces from Toot to produce an exclusive fashion set with a behind-the-scenes video for our readers.  We worked with Pedro, one of the hottest Spanish guys in London, and photographed him showing off a selection of sexy cotton pants and nylon stretch boxers.

We really love the boxers with the sticker print as they look so fresh, while the yellow nylon stretch boxers simply look super hot on Pedro. This sexy underwear collection is available in department stores across Asia, and also available worldwide at their online shop. So if you’re looking for something fun and sexy, we guarantee you that these sexy little pants will heat things up this summer!

When it comes to a collaboration between sport and fashion, Adidas knows how to pull if off. For a decade, Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas have proved to be the most successful fashion collaboration between style and athleticism, and between the people on the runway and the people on the street.

The union started with a series of trainers in 2001 for Yohji Yamamoto’s signature line, which was then followed by the launch of the Y-3 collection in Spring/Summer 2003 in Paris.

To celebrate a successful decade Y-3 has opened its first flagship store in London across from the Yohji Yamamoto boutique on Conduit Street. The store debuted with the Spring Summer 2011 collection inspired by the three decades of music history from Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Billy Idol. The sporty collection features shrunk vests, over-sized overalls, lamb skin motorcycle jackets and Napoleonic velvet jackets.

This is a great season for Yamamoto’s London fans indeed. What a great pleasure to spend a day in London wondering around the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition at V&A museum to learn more about his creations, then visiting his main line and Y-3 boutique to grab some amazing Summer pieces.
