Continue Jr.

Continue Jr. is a blog and it also refers to the group of creative individuals who contribute to the blog. We deal with current issues in regards to art, fashion, food, architecture, design, culture and life. We envision this blog to become a pool of creative, fun and beautiful ideas.

Joshua Jang gathered a group of creative Korean individuals to create a space where different perspectives could be shared and archived, to possibly evoke and generate thinking to become mind food for readers. The whole idea of working together and crafting ideas as a group through collaboration reveals the amazing effect of synergy and the 1+1=3 effect. Therefore, one idea does not just stop but is continuously being enhanced and recycled.

We hope to be fresh, innovative and informative - but most of all - fun and engaging. We value comments and feedback of Continue Jr’s followers and hope to use the feedback to further better Continue Jr.

So watch Continue Jr. mature and unravel. We're sure it will turn into something beautiful and totes exciting.
My workbook made of recycling fabrics, leather rusty belt with Margiela tag. It is pretty fun to make something with recycling materials.   I recommend to my subscribers! -John K-

Long Black Socks

Christmas holiday seasons means family and friends. We like to exchange gift. But that also means buying these gift to give… and that can be very difficult.

But I found something really exciting. The Long Black Socks.

These socks come in coffee bags with coffee beans in the bag. The socks themselves are a great quality. They are soft and smooth and the straight forward design makes the socks that much more sophisticated and enjoyable.

You can own get them from

ONE (5O4 K Rd)

Purple Moss (The Chancery Auckland City)

Zambesi store Xmas installations

An angel from heaven, installed in each Zambesi stores. (Auckland , Newmarket, Sydney, Ponsonby and Wellington).

Zambesi is on Xmas Sale, but it is still expensive.  Anyway I like the installations.  Good Job~

From 1988

‘Black’ + ‘Romantic’ + ‘Avant-garde fashion’ = Ann Demeulemeester (it is my mathematical expression).
