Coffee shop, short break after a traditional fabrics hunting with Christophe Prebois, the fashion designer of Brutals (stylish shirts for men).

A notebook on table : sketches and draws of Christophe’s travel in Japan. Some sketches look like photos. Others remind me the rythm of fabrics prints. I look at them, take pictures. Such beautiful illustrations!

Street Style

“Let’s walk in the woods, while the little blue hood … there! ” A week of real street looks: snapshots on the board below.

Between kawaii kawaiiiiiiii pink and holder Stockings in Harajuku, multicolored polka dots and green boots in Omotesando and eighties revival with slippers in Yoyogi Park. Coach, I sign for another week!

The Rockers of Yoyogi Park Vs The Shibuya Girls Fashion Shows

Right, I’ve often met the most xtreme rockers! Here are the dancers rockers of Yoyogi Park. Impressive mix of unique hairstyle with acrobatic jumps. They are the real “characters” of Yoyogi Park.

It was reckoning without the intrusion of Kawaii Land: why do these fashion teens rush with such frenzy? Fashion shows open to public.

If you want to check out the Shibuya girl style (the fashion tribe not the brand): visit the famous department store 109… in Shibuya of course!

Me, I can’t stand the bad techno musics loudly played in the differents shops there. Plus the chorus of non stop « sumimasen » shouted by salespersons. And I don’t like the outfits too, pretty boring. Harajuku is much more fun! 

DOMO ARIGATO TO ALL OF YOU!

Kimono & Obi crush

What’s The Link Between Tokyo and Hong Kong?

Watashi wa (me), a Parisian traveler young lady going for a walk in Hong Kong, found an exhibition of amazingly beautiful Kimono and Obi (belts). And I wanted to cheer with you my passion of Japanese fabrics and patterns combinations, adding few Tokyo snapshots (in black and white).

Quel lien entre Hong Kong et Tokyo?

Watashi wa (moi), la petite parisienne vagabonde qui en promenade dans Hong Kong tombe par hasard sur une exposition de magnifiques Kimono et Obi (ceintures). Et j’ai eu envie de vous faire partager ma passion des tissus et associations de motifs japonais, en y insérant quelques snapshots tokyoïdes (en noir et blanc).
