Husband A’N'D Wife Duo.
I reckon most of you have already seen tee shirt prints like these all around your street stores, but I don’t think you’ve seen these novelty tapes by A’N'D now, have you?
The process is simple:
1) Pull the tape
2) Snap/cut
3) Stick it on your basic tees!
Azumi and David of A’N'D both studied fashion at the esteemed Central Saint Martins and got married in London on March 10th, 2000 with an additional wedding reception held in Nagano, Japan, the year after. They might have studied in the same design school, but actually met in a coffee house in London’s Earl’s Court instead.

With their birthdays falling on the 8th and 10th April respectively, the couple proclaimed April 9th A’N'D day. Since first coming together in 1995, Azumi and David have progressed through a variety of creative projects - initially with limited edition artist’s books and performance art, gradually moving on to fashion and accessory-associated ‘things to wear’.
Below are some pieces from their A/W 08′ collection, inclusive of their recognisable bag on heels. Finally, a bag that we can place on the ground without feeling perturbed.
Their art-cum-accessory pieces have even been featured as Editor’s pick:
