Synchrodogs | Interview
Ukrainian photographic duo Synchrodogs aka. Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven, create incredibly haunting, mischievous and ultimately beautiful imagery. I spoke with the pair about their current exhibition Across the Great Divide in LA, their first book and what it means to be a creative in the Ukraine.
Megan Christiansen: Can you tell us a little bit about your background, you initially didn't start out as a photographic duo did you?

Tetsu Nishiyama | Interview
Since first interviewing Tet from WTAPS back in 2009 I got a great insight into a label which has played a pivotal role in Ura-Harajuku for more than a decade. Continuing to influence on many levels, Tet has seen WTAPS evolve and grow with great distinction while remaining on the level in which it was founded on. Recently Tet opened G.I.P. Store in Shibuya, a bold move away from the iconic Blackflag select store in Aoyama, but one that has since reaped the rewards with a compelling concept in place and one that represents WTAPS with a strong direction.

After his SS11 surf-inspired show, he stepped things up a notch in the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts; after a day in the bleachers the menswear massive entered Adam's own personal quarantine, complete with a Nevadan sand catwalk and a rather magical Star Trek portal.
