Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff , Fashion designers, Spring 2012 collection is so inspiring to me because their clothing is so pop, colorful and funny. As I saw these characteristic outfits, I instantly connected them with Japanese Harajuku Fashion, which is now well-known in fashion industry because of the unique and catchy style. Meadham and Kirchhoff’s design and Harajuku Fashion both have interesting motif to draw, which drove me to create this image.

They are the reference pictures from the collection of Meadham Kirchhoffand and Harajuku girl!

Because of NY Fashion Week, September is one of the most fun time to check fashion on the streets! They put tremendous energy to dress up for the shows. This year, I want to give a gold medal to this gentleman.
His eyebrows are sparkling!

Then we put on those sun glassies!!

I’ve never seen anybody wear those no- heel-high-heels in real.

Then, he walked away so elegantly…… Bravo !!!

I saw this highly fashionable man at High Line park. He was shining in yellow shirt with super shining shoes.
I think he is extremely careful of his look with little things like a scarf that is hanging down from a pocket on the pants and tassels on his purse, on his belt and on the shoes!

I found him/her around Union Sq. Why is he (or she) in this kind of fashion to pick up empty pet bottles out of garbage?
Well, I think this person simply likes to dress up and I like the way she looks !
