Caroline and I were at the downtown Phoenix Public Market yesterday when she noticed a girl walking by wearing what she thought were shoes by Sou.Sou. I walked over to the girl, whose name is Rei, and explained that my wife was curious if her shoes were from Sou.Sou. The look of astonishment on her face that someone here in Phoenix recognized her rather exotic and typically never seen in Arizona shoes had been identified. Turns out that she had bought them recently in San Francisco: after researching Sou.Sou in the Bay Area, Rei picked up her shoes at New People 1746 Post Street. This shopping ‘center’ is now on our list of places to visit, New People includes a 143-seat underground cinema, a cafe, an art gallery, the New People store for pop culture items, a fashion store area that includes Sou.Sou Black Peace Now, and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright – watch Kamikaze Girls! The designers of Sou.Sou is out of Kyoto, Japan and so far, their work hasn’t been picked up for cheap imitation by Wal Mart, keep your fingers crossed – now go to San Francisco and play.
