THESE MECHANICAL HEELS PLANT SEEDS AS YOU WALK. SHOES BY SPUTNIKO AND MASAYA KUSHINO!
歩くことで花の種が地中に植えられるヒール？！スプツニ子と串野真也の待望コラボ作品！ Sputniko! is a super young modern artist who uses various forms of media (usually YouTube) to show off gadgets she makes in campy cosplay (or is it serious?) satirical videos opining on society. I was hooked upon one view of murderous Sushiborg Yukari (but she’s so cute!) and the ouch-y menstruation machine (but the
SOMARTA 2012 FW TOKYO, BACKSTAGE AND DETAILS. APPRECIATE ME NOW, NOT LATER.
“今”だからこそ、評価すべきソマルタ2012年秋冬コレクション。バックステージとディテールに迫る。 Somarta is perhaps trying to tell us something about appreciating them now rather than later.

The collection also had elements of religion like in the stained-glass

This is the conversation I had in my head while seeing the Anrealage 2012 AW collection “Time”. Which was, may I say, the most innovative &
SOMARTA’s BLOOD-RED AND MILKY WHITE “TOUSLED” KNITS. TOKYO FASHION WEEK AW 2012-13.
ソマルタ2012年秋冬東京コレクション ショー。ヴァンパイヤー赤とミルキー白の”ほつれ髪”ニット群。 Somarta went darker than usual for fall 2012-13, beginning with a brown palette and prints that looked like animal print from the seats. I’m thinking “hmmm” …is this a new direction for Somarta? ちょうど先ほど行われたSomartaのショー。始まりはブラウンなどの極めてダークなトーンが出そろった。そのあたりではまだ、”うーん、これが新生ソマルタ？”なんて思っていた。 And then it got dainty with blushy pink. And then it got detailed with ice crystal accents. And then it got

東京コレクションの準備は良し？SS 2012年の予習：GVGVデザイナーMUGとインタビュー I was asked to revisit the spring/summer 2012 Tokyo Fashion Week collections for a nice feature in Chinese magazine YOHO that covered 6 established and young brands… basically those that are buzzy both in Japan and in China (good for us to know!). I spoke with each of the designers about their

ジェニーファックス2012年春夏バックステージレポート後半。女子高生ギャングにモップ・・一体何が起ったの？！ When Yume sent me the DVD of her selections of backstage photos fromfashion week, I quickly flipped through them all. It was the usualfare…. makeup, hair, rehearsal, lineups, smiling (or bored)models…until I came to Jenny Fax. On the runway, we saw sweet dresses andcoquettish girls curtseying in what appeared to be fashion made from100% pure saccharine.

Taiwan-born Shueh Jen-Fangis her name and spring/summer 2012 was her second collection and herfirst full fashion show. And boy was it a doozy! It’s one of those“love it or hate it” situations. But I
“GOTCHA!” PHANTOM CLOTHING. BACKSTAGE AT ANREALAGE SS 2012 TOKYO.
アンリアレイジ2012年春夏バックステージをレポート。騙し系ファントム服やないか！ ANREALAGE can become an addiction…their collections feed fashion fans like ADD-saddled kids at the candy store. This sugar comes in the form of freaky cool fabrics, hi-tech transformation techniques, and some deep concepts. With that said, it’s not going to make you contemplate your life over the construction of a chiffon blouse. Looking at these detail backstage shots from
