Braniff Special Talk Session @ TSUTAYA TOKYO ROPPONGI

A key figure indispensable to discussing "BRANIFF INTERNATIONAL" is Mr. Koichi Yanagimoto, a familiar face to OPENERS readers. Mr. Yanagimoto is also renowned as a collector of "BRANIFF" memorabilia and has cooperated in the reissue of redesigned models. His talk session partner will be Ms. Kako Gondo, President & CEO of EMILIO PUCCI JAPAN, an Italian fashion brand that made a significant impact at the time with designs such as the flight attendant uniforms.

The two, deeply familiar with Braniff, will discuss its appeal, which remains vibrant even today and is called a "legendary airline," as well as expectations for its future revival. Attendees of the talk show will also receive a special gift available only at this event.

Additionally, at the same venue, a collection of rare items from the era will be exhibited, and new Braniff merchandise along with other travel goods will be sold for a limited time. The first 100 customers who purchase Braniff items during this period will receive a limited-edition ballpoint pen with the Braniff logo.
Exhibition & Sales Period: Wednesday, November 9, 2011 – Sunday, December 11, 2011
