strapped/strapping

Shinjuku; seen from Tochomae station ~

This was a perfect little visible coffee break after just seeing the the Hussein Chalayan show across town at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo: Spacepods, dresses that weave into a science fiction, and all the like. In a country that is now painting Mobile Suit Gundam on their airplanes, are we surprised it might appeal?

Stopping by to see the latest in footwear at the ABC Mart last night, and the current Nike shoes (hell, more than plenty of the cross-trainers) had a similar membraneous quality, like collagen strands in a tissue.
