Tomohiro Kono and his hair wonders

I LOVE HIS HEAD-ART PIECES! The wrap-around, and the mix of B/W contrast and the evoking model's pose which is perfectly directed; it brings out the emotions he had put in when making.

•••Learn more about him with his Dazed interview here,and his portfolio of head accessories magic here.

Then, and his pointed-out personal choice of jewelry designer, Nakaba Shinji. I skimmed through and the shapes are beautiful! It's interesting how he shows the layering of color to the accessory he makes. I'm still going heavy on rings, afterall!
More images and works in his homepage.

         I'm currently reading from start-to-finish of the life of Hayley in Japan in which aspires me to work there - my goal after graduating! And rad hair, in Japan, is about 4 years early than the one my head lecturer has. I wish I was daring enough to do this. I did, but then my hair grew so fast it now looks fugly. She looks good platinum!

Illustration x Fashion spread! I'm looking closely to illustrations right now, as the Picture Book Contest with an illustrative plot and plans in my head is set; the colors of black and white and hues in between - the usual, LOVE. Liking the first a LOT.

       And the versatility of garments turned to something else rather than a shirt worn as a shirt, here's another ode of frivolous skirts turned to head-accessories...

Hot off the Press!

Definitely needing one! Aren't we the oily (if you love Reese Peanutbutter Cups or Butterfinger then they also should make Butterfinger pinchers) salty lickers of our fingers when we dig into Lay's, Pringles, Ruffles? CRUNCH CRUNCH cleanly!

Smart Japanese that knows the market very well indeed. Always standing ovation to them!

New and Old Flame.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! <3

**BTW, IT WAS APRIL FOOLS, YOU PINTER PEOPLES. OF COURSE I'LL BE BACK. It's my hard-drive platform!**

get ready for a whutderrfakqizvis nose-bleed image spamming session! no one touches my milky boys!

 dearest 노민우,

you sure do remind me of dear Kim Jae Wookie! <3

The rare males that has long hair and is still handsome yet gorgeous. Tantalizing but always is optimistic to meet you all! AND WHUT, YOU PLAY THE DRUMS? *lovesick*

BGSP! Where did you go...

•I'd have to say this is a rare moment of him being purely happy•

DIE HAPPY TO HEAVEN! 

(after if I meet him)

Super SMEXXY (Bye Yunho WDF why people say he's so)

 

will definitely cast him in every show if I ever do organize/have my own/whatever campaign. Alongside with Keagan. Tee-hee!

but then I've also always missed little adorable eccentric just-different Hyuk-Soo. I loved how I found him working with fabulous Begi (I was aghast in an absolutely awesome way, jaw-dropped) and it's cult videos! I wish I could cherish it, but it can't be downloaded. So please don't delete your MySpace account although it's sooo yesterday, Hasangbegi-ssi! :D

 

Oh, his recent updates from his Cyworld in photo section's adorably funny, an old picture of him.

 

*sizzles well burnt*

 I HATE ENVY this girl who's age is just an 'A' month away from me! Same mere age and will be blowing her legal candles in just 3 days! She's the actress Kim who goes to the same company with him and he's such a gentleman escorting her, meanwhile I HATE ENVY HIS DEAR GIRL, Kim Min Hee the model, 4 years older. Nyoooh~

Juuuuust Kidding.

No, I really do envy her T__T

ROFLMAO on the floor! Bang for your buck! Whutderrfakq.

 

but do please, not compare with Amber? He She is handsome with one-eye! I've always seen her, omo, this guy is handsome - wait, isn't it Amber? OH MY GOODNESS not another Freja Beha moment! (She's the definition of the hot and cool)

Hey! I'd have to admit that I'm late, but heya NUTHANG, pronounced New-Thang, (New Thing, the ITs man) I'd research forever on each of them. IDK the ones I'm making them my trendsetter is a part of a clique cult!

In conclusion, the South Koreans and Japan fashion industry can work so well together - I shall be the mediator, one who makes it happen.

The South Koreans have the face of the phuture, and Japanese creates the most radical clothes that fits the face, which is posted in the next post.

A BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS CONCLUSION, don't you guys agree! My long life work goals. Until it's achieved, my RAM will work hard to be in the connection!

whut, Ki? 本? Tree? Key? Huh, who's he? xD

 

ladies goodnight! 

a wonderful dream awaits.

Epiphany.

It's the early weekend! Goodness it's been my hibernation week of sleeping late, waking late and enjoying my pillows more than ever, and deadlines were chasing over me, so with my cravings for more Japanese furai street om nom nom goodness, I head down to Orchard wanting to grab my mayonnaise dinner and hit Kinokuniya. The usual.

I decidedly to head the end of the triple mall tail to get my dinner, and instead of just one, I added another two and ZOMG it's awesomely deeeelliiiccciousssss. And it's $1 per stick/piece and that shrimp tokyo monja or whatever the name is IS GOOD. I shall snap it next time, before I scarf it down. But hey, do try the Takoyaki which I introduced the wonders to Kristie back last month.

Roamed around and around and around the store checking out the newest shipments on the pile and finally an epiphany of "hey finally it's here!" I thought that they had gotten a contract dispute or something between Kino and L'officiel since I haven't seen it around until now, the latest:

whee, you get a complimentary M by MJ bookmark of his ugly girl illustration! :D

And there's a new face in town...

The Gentlewoman has certainly made it's soft neutral debut, with Celine's new head designer that brought forth gracefulness to the runway and wow, she is brave, baring her all (most least but still closed) with the interview given. 

         Brought to you by the editors of Fantastic Man.

           A simple editorial, not showing model's face or identity and finally, only focusing just on the clothes and how they drop in a casual way, and also one I recall flipping where they take an interesting concept which I LIKE, "Flat Garments" where it's only clothes, laid out, close-up on those clean Celine skirt sewing as the opening garment.

        I'm not a fan of AMICA but their new down-sized look, and matte cover! I'm a fan of glossies that are not, glossy. Frankie and Little Thing is one of my favorite keepers. It also shows that it isn't the mainstream high-fashion trend follower, as L'Officiel does, but hence, I would say it's the local magazine I like most, with my favorite font, Didot and italicized, then the styling of it is fresh and just what I want.

        Wanted to pick up this copy since the dress in front looks beautiful (Rodarte-like tucks here and there?) but apparently it's a Vuitton!

 I do believe LV's designs doesn't have a signature anymore. Only leather goods are.

        One thing that also restrains me from getting this is their signature font, and the layout is just not nice to see for me, and the contents and target age is not suitable.

        Gosh! My mind! Do know why after the rule - the line below why my eyes are doing this space epiphanies of layouts.

Why I was drawn to the neutral palette with Phoebe Phillo on front of Gentlewoman is because of my recent deadline due today, LAYOUTING!

By the given article Charles gave, and only using one image throughout the work, here goes. Editing till 4AM.

Can you guess which is HEADLINE / TEXT / IMAGE dominant?

Click on for a larger view! I do looooove the body - Garamond. Great typeface to work it out for most articles.

So from 1, 2, 3, respectively, can you identify which dominant the layout is at?

... was I successful?

There! Didot and a rule - totally clean slate look! And TEXT by Adobe Caslon.
I like it how I Italicized the name as well. Just superb.

Well, I'd have to leave a note though from this on, I don't think I could handle or have the time to type anymore... It really does suck my time in doing something else and I guess...
this,
is it.

I hope it won't be the last post... But for now I'll stop therein on.

A wonderful blessed weekend of Easter, everyone, enjoy the break as well!
