illustration / Comments: (0)
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!

illustration / Comments: (0)
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 !

illustration / Comments: (0)
On some early summer Saturday, I was sitting at outside cafe in Norita.
What a style!
Her eccentric look caught my eyes. She had big afro hair and put on a bikini top OVER T-shirt !
I could even see her underwear a bit from the hem of her super short denim skirt. Wow! She seemed like enjoying just standing there to get people’s attention. So I run to her to get her permission to take a picture of her, then found out she was an actress.There was LiveInTheater.com printed on her business card. I got it!

illustration / Comments: (0)
I was flipping through Japanese fashion magazines the other day, then found that they introduced super cool almost-model-like fashionable people as a NY street fashion scene. Well, yes. There are “some” people dressed up like them. But I couldn’t help feeling a gap between those fashionistas in the magazines and the ones on NY streets in real.
