Marie (マリエ) after @DieselBlackGold SS13

I love how loose, soft, and comfortable her outfit yet has a little bost from her booties. The pink is adorable and girly too. I really like how her outfit’s structure holds up. She’s an actress/model/blogger and also studying fashion at Parsons. I believe this is her fashion blog, “My Tiny Dancers” this is her food blog, there’s a page you can click to with her updates/news/etc. I don’t fully understand because it is Japanese : ) Also please let me know if she Twitter/Japanese Twitter/a way to send this to her. Thank you! Arigato!

Naoko in Soho

I love this style! I love jumpers, blue, stripes. She is a buyer for Japanese fashion companies. How fitting I post this outfit with her little American bag right before July 4 (she bought it in Philadelphia).

Her jumper is by Land, her friend’s company. Her shoes are Arnold Palmers. Her earrings are Mashka. Cool, fashionable, comfortable. Japanese meets American style.

This is Ryo Miyamoto.

I bumped into him in 2nd Avenue in the East Village while shooting another girl one morning - turns out we live very close to each other!

I first saw Ryo this past fashion week but I think I had known of him before through The Sartorialist and other blogs. He has his own blog as well: Otomayim B Dipper which studies fashion on the street as well.

Ryo makes me think about fashion and clothes in different ways. He’s been featured on NY Mag online and he’s a smart guy, I really like his different styles! I have been interested in studying Japanese culture and their perception of fashion and expression. I’m really interested in how Ryo puts himself together, proportions, etc. Everything is unique to me and just right. He seems very comfortable. Everything he is wearing here is vintage/thrifted. I like how Ryo has favorite designers of course but a lot of his clothes are simply thrifted or very inexpensive and he paints or wearings shirts as skirts, womens clothes, etc. Very cool. I added some fun detail shots. I think for his outfit it really made sense to break it up into different sections and look at the details, layer, and shapes. I looks interesting altogether as well as in sections.

Check out how his head is the “O” in “STOMP” in the second photo so it’s more like “ST-RYO-OMP”

He was featured last week in my Street Style Sundays for The Lab Magazine. I’m excited for the two photos that will be posted tomorrow! Check out their current coverage of Mens SS13 as well. https://www.facebook.com/thelabmagazine

Ryo just graduated from F.I.T. and now works at Y-3 in Soho. Thursday through Sunday I believe : )

Kei on New Oxford Street, London

I bumped into Kei on the way to people watch outside of the James Long show (there were a lot of fashion victims there … British fashion is hit or miss to me. I think it’s really interesting and see and evolving though!)

Kei is a stylist.

She is wearing a Vivienne Westwood dress (yay British fashion!), shoes from Opening Ceremony, and a cardigan from Japan. We weren’t sure how to spell her earrings but they were French and so cute! I really like the way she does her makeup and hair. It’s cool but not too extreme.

Thanks Kei!

I knew I would bump into him soon

Wataru Bob Shimosato of An Unknown Quantity blog, one of my recent favorite discoveries

Keep an eye out for him and be honored if he shoots you! I think we’ll be seeing more of each other this upcoming season.

On the Subway II: Introducing Imi and Japanese Fashion

On the way home from work yesterday, I saw next to Imi. Imi is originally from Japan but moved to New York City when she was 22 (my age!) She was talking with her friend, they were so cute. Anyway, she was wearing this robe/dress that was so interested and I asked her about it! She used to work in fashion and owned a boutique in Soho in the 1980’s.

She got the piece (I guess it might be somewhat of a kimono) in Japan. Japanese fashion is very interested to me and much more forward than other fashion because they incorporate the traditional Kimono technique and ways of pleating so the fabrics last long. This technique was started by the amazing Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. I don’t know much more about the technique but simply talking to people, seeing things, and feeling fabrics is the way I learn about fashion, art, cultures, and the world!

Thank you, Imi. I’m so glad I took the subway yesterday!

Hiraku on Varick Street, Tribeca

Caught Hiraku on a break from his English classes. I liked the purple of his sweater, his bracelets, and shoes. It was a pretty warm day. Japanese meets American style!
