COMMITTING THE SIN OF ALL SINS: WRITING ABOUT A SHOW I NEVER SAW. DIOR 2013 SS, VIA PURGATORY.
このレポートで罪を犯してしまっているから。ディオール2013年春夏。天からの罰を待っているぅ！ I am doing something really bad, something that I said I would NEVER do, because I have integrity, dammit, and those of us with any integrity left in the blogoshpere and journalist-phere combined need to uphold SOME semblance in moral object to reviews. But I’m doing it. I am writing a report on a
IS THIS REAL LIFE OR IS THIS JUST FANTASY? MY NEW “LIFE IN THE 2.5 DIMENSION” COLUMN NOW IN SOEN MAGAZINE!
装苑は１月号からリニュアル！ってことで私の新連載「ミーシャの2.5次元ライフ」がスタート！ When I first opened the pages of SOEN magazine as a fashion student, I was smitten. Aside from all of the subculture rags, it was so hard to find a high-fashion magazine that captured the LOCAL zeitgeist while maintaining a sense of fantasy and wonder. I was studying to be a stylist at the
FINSK SHOES ARE UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE SEEN POUNDING OUR EARTH’S PAVEMENT. THE “PROJECT” AND “SKIN” SERIES IN TOKYO?!
地球上の物体とは思えないほどの美しさ、FINSKのシューズが展開するプロジェクトと、SKINシリーズが日本でお目見えする。 For the past decade, artistic shoes have been the call of the fashion pack (and then made known to the masses thanks to McQueen’s Armadillo shoe, then trickled down to the likes of fast-fashion shoe label Jeffrey Campbell… but I digress). It’s practically a uniform, and a beautiful heel may be the only thing

LEARNING ABOUT CHAOS LOUNGE, NENDOROIDS AND OTAKU MEMES THROUGH CHLOMA’s 2013 SS COLLECTION.
カオス、ねんどろいど、おたくネタなど、CHLOMAの2013年春夏コレクションを通して色々お勉強になった。それより、１年振りのコレクションは最高に良い！ As I stood in front of my closet this morning, I had one thing distressing my mind: why don’t I have any Chloma in here?! No oversized digital screen print sweatshirts and no “deforme” techy leather/neoprene skirts to put on. I needed to traverse Harajuku on a saturday and I knew I needed some
THE TOKYO STREETS HAVE EYES…FASHION HAS GONE MAD FOR EYEBALLS…WHY AND WHERE DID THAT HAPPEN?!
石を蹴れば目玉に当たる？！東京のストリートを席巻する“目玉”ファッション。でもこのトレンドって、いつから始まったんでしょう？ If you’re living in Tokyo and plugged into the street scene there is one thing that if you see one more of you’re going to kick it till it bleeds: eyeballs. Not human eyeballs, mind you, but a cartoonish eyeball that is the centerpiece for both fashion and accessories in Harajuku street fashion.
MY FIRST TIGHTS DESIGN COLLABORATION NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER!!! THEY’RE A SWEET TOOTH WITH BITE.
初タイツコラボレーションがついに公開しました！！！スタッズ付き（！！）歯ごたえのあるスイートさ「甘党〜Sweet teeth」をCheck!! Check!! There’s a reason I didn’t decide to work as a cotemporary artist, and that’s because it’s TOO free. I wouldn’t know where to start. With fashion, at least one is limited to the human body, and pliable materials. There is a goal: to make the wearer feel something. 最近めざましい活躍をしている女性コンテンポラリーアーティスト達。その傍らでスタイリスト(など)として活動する私が、なぜアーティストという道を選ばなかったのか。その理由の一つは、あまりにも自由過ぎるから。どこから始めていいのか分からなくなってしまうからだ。その点ファッションに特化しているということにより、表現するキャンバスはまず人間の体に選択肢が絞られ、使用するマテリアルもある程度限定される。そして、それを着ている人に何らかの感情の変化をもたらすということをゴールに出来るという点でも明確な目標が出来て分かりやすい。 This was my
BUBBLES HARAJUKU IS MORE THAN JUST AIR. POPULAR SHOP OWNER “COI” TELLS ME ALL ABOUT IT
原宿の空気を吸い尽くす、巨大なシャボン玉ここにあり。カリスマショップBubblesのオーナーCoiちゃんがその人気の秘密を公開！ Street style for men in Tokyo has been getting a fair chunk of the world’s attention lately, and with good reason – a Harajuku boy can rock deconstructed jackets and long skirts like no other. But where are my ladies at? They still know how to innovate, and this is especially apparent in the
