Luxaholic Japanese girls
20.09.09 / illustration / Author: admin
It’s real story about brand obsessed Japanese girls. Some girl collapsed because of severe malnutrition after she starved herself in order to save money to purchase limited edition of brand bag and she ended up being at hospital. In current recession, there is no other way for them to get those high-end fashion items. It’s been reported that half of Japanese women in their 20s own a Louis Vitton. I witnessed the fact at that time I was in Japan.

I heard that news too. Crazy Japanese people! I love the purple street. It is sort of trippy. I am sure the girl on the stretcher is dreaming of trippy Pucci and Etro dreams as she passes out… Another great piece, Ai!
Thank you for the comment! I know, if I were in Japan, I might be already dead by starving myself. No just kidding. I’ve never had desire to have those limited edition things.
Love your draw and nice way to make the difference…
great – love the point of view and the way the purple street makes it all seem crazy, like the story.
Tragic. I like how the obsession is heightened by her still clutching the bags.
