David Marx took him on a menswear tour of the city's back streets of Shibuya and Harajuku. That trip would eventually lead Marx to become BoF's first contributor — apart from Amed himself.

Hi, this is Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion. Welcome to the BOF podcast. It's Friday, September 4th. In the summer of 2007, I landed in Tokyo for the very first time.
A young American writer named W. David Marks took me on a menswear tour of the city's back streets in Shibuya and Harajuku. That trip would eventually lead David to become BOF's very first external contributor, that is, the first person to write for BOF, apart from me.
Nearly 20 years on, David is still in Tokyo, watching a city that has experienced three of fashion's biggest shifts before anywhere else. Luxury as a middle-class product, the rise and now retreat of streetwear, and menswear as a global obsession.
