A&S Aoyama

Harajuku & Aoyama


This is the flagship boutique from celebrity stylist Sonya Park, whose signature look is a vintage-inspired minimalism in luxurious, natural fabrics. It carries items both from her brand, Arts & Science, and also select international brands.

Park has more small stores in the nearby midcentury apartment building Palace Aoyama (across from the Nezu Museum). On the ground floor, look for: Shoes and Things (No 103; self-explanatory); &SHOP (No 105; more clothes and accessories) and Over the Counter (No 109; homewares).
