Babylon

On December 14, Babylon opened its first retail location in Harajuku, Tokyo. In an exclusive conversation with Hypebeast, the label’s co-founders Lee Spielman and Garrett Stevenson shared more on the milestone.

The newly-opened outpost marks the brand’s third brick-and-mortar store ever, but the very first one outside of the U.S.

“Tokyo and LA have always felt connected to me mostly because I have good friends in both cities working in the same creative spaces,” Spielman told Hypebeast of the new location, slated to house exclusive limited-edition releases – the first of which is a collaboration with VERDY.

“We’ve been drawn to the city ever since we first visited in 2008 to play music. There’s a unique energy here and the way people engage with culture really stands out when compared to other places. Tokyo has a deep respect for the stories behind what brands create, and that’s something we really connect with.”
