When a timid but eccentric professor from the waterworks finds a spy hole in his living room, he becomes involved in a world of youth, colour and music. He observes through this vortex the lives & loves of a beautiful fashion model & her grovy photographer boyfriend. He enters a world of fantasy & sexual chemistry. No longer needing. His microscope he is drawn towards images that transform him. Wonderwall, the movie captured a moment in time. Swinging London was at full tilt, Psychedelia dominated pop culture and the beatles were at their peak. The film evokes that spirit in vivid colour and now wonderwall, the book tells the tale of those times in images and words. How George Harrison produced the sound track, how Jane Birkln, Jack Mac Gowran & Iain Quarrier became involved and how the vibrancy of dutch designers the fool helped give the film its unique look. Wonderwall records what inspired director Joe Massot to tell a story which is very much of its time and, most of all, it reveals the beauty of the images he was able to capture - images which still have resonance today

Sebastian If there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that fate is a f*cking bitch. So don't get too comfortable, my friends. Don't think that just because you are happy now, your life is going to be an eternal parade of pink unicorns and sunshine. Once upon a time, I had everything a person could hope for--great parents, loyal friends, and Liv. She was everything to me, my best friend, the girl of my dreams, my kingdom come. And then bam! I had nothing. Sure, now it seems like I'm the king of the world. I have fame, an endless supply of beautiful women at my feet, and more money than I can spend in my lifetime. It's all meaningless without the girl I can't forget. So when I see her in the last place I expect, I don't think twice, I vow to get her back. Liv They say you never forget your first love, but I wish I could. Sebastian was the boy next door, the one who stole my heart, only to give it back bruised and broken. I've tried my best to move on, to erase him from my mind, but how can I do that when he is literally everywhere? There's no escape when your ex-boyfriend is on the cover of every magazine when his music won't stop playing on the radio. Was it a stupid decision to move across the ocean to the same city he calls home? Maybe. I was only following my dream. I didn't expect Sebastian to crash back into my life. He is different from the boy I once knew, darker, and much more dangerous to my heart. Resisting him would be the smart choice. I just don't know if I'm strong enough.

Masamichi Katayama's Wonderwall studio combines a truly Asian approach to retail with a global outlook that has resulted in worldwide success and influence. Wonderwall's East meets West approach to retail design has produced influential successes like UNIQLO, the Diesel flagship store, and the futuristic innards of Intersect by Lexus. The design house is based in Tokyo, with a scope and inspiration unbound by geographic borders. The bold unconstrained approach brings conventional visual branding into question and infuses new life into existing concepts. A colorful Asian take on retail design and Katayama's admitted obsession with cuboid forms blend to successfully form design spaces that visually display branding. Wonderwall Case Studies gathers these projects for an inside look at what makes their designs succeed.

Masamichi Katayama's WonderWall: the name for highly sophisticated retail outlets. Here some of his more colourful and surprising designs. Unworldly spaces with equally unworldly names, like the topsy-turvy boutique And A, Beams T or Foot Soldier, shops that feature little conveyor belts for the display of merchandise or Nowhere "A Bathing Ape 'Busy Work Shop', a Tokyo boutique that stocks and displays garments in an oversized refrigerator that resembles the familiar unit in everybody's local supermarket - all recent additions to Japan's shopping streets - are the work of Masamichi Katayama, founder of Tokyo-based WonderWall. He indulges in bouts of creativity that enrich the shopping experience with everything from refrigerators to conveyor belts. More than just attempts to be futuristic or extravagant, they are highly sophisticated retail outlets. Not to mention great fun! In a land of commerce like Japan, whose post-war economic boom not only introduced a wave of cultural diversity but also accentuated the deep-seated differences between old and new, as well as between East and West, Katayama is the consummate consumer. With his shop designs for *A Bathing Ape, a charismatic apparel brand, Katayama has ventured beyond the streets of Japan, into the cities of London and New York.
