petitesam: @Leah B. I thought Daft Punk originally, too! :D
I love that there isn’t really a gender to the clothing, and the helmets reinforce the idea. I also like the tribal aspects, ponchos, fringe, etc. Nifty!
Kjeld Duits: @Leah B.: I just played some of his music to imagine how you experienced these photos. Quite interesting. The actual music played during the show was hard rock.
Leah B.: For some strange reason, I got Daft Punk stuck in my head while looking through this show. ;)
Kjeld Duits: @Maria: Thanks!
Maria: @KD: Cool you are showing your other works. Thanks n_n
Kjeld Duits: @Etsune: I am both a photographer and journalist, actually. I am officially a news photographer and journalist, but fashion is becoming an increasingly larger part of my workload. My other specialty is photographing and writing about natural disasters; I have covered all the largest earthquakes in Asia since 1995, including the 2004 tsunami. I love how your work there really helps people (I donate my photos to organizations like the Red Cross).
See some non-fashion work here:
• Pakistan flood victims pleased with US aid
• Pakistani children on the motorway
The above two articles were written in Dutch; the English translation is really bad—I should have written it in English myself.
Don’t forget to click on the slideshow below each article!
And a slideshow of some of my work at lightstalkers. All of it quite old, but it gives a good overview.
jsPRO: jajaja cool!!!!!!
Yukishou: It’s like a japanese urkel,very campy outdoorsy, shades of blue/green and brown, and of course those socks and i like the hat to match .
Kjeld Duits: @Keekii: I think it’s quite a feat how Togo pulls off that mixture of geeky and cool. By the way, there was also a famous Japanese admiral with the name Togo, Heihachiro Togo. He made his fame during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 when his forces defeated the Russian fleet. So in Japan the name Togo actually has a very familiar ring to it.
Kjeld Duits: @Etsune: I’d gues around 1.65 – 1.70 m.
Etsune: i really like his cardigan and shirt, and love the fact that his necklace is Vivienne Westwood. He also looks fairly tall. Is he?
Kjeld Duits: @Maria: Shota’s socks did really look like that.
Etsune: Can’t wait =)
Kjeld Duits: @Etsune: Will do.
Etsune: @Kjeld: HAHAHA! On the off chance that you DO tell him that, you must tell me how he responds lol!
Nadine Kenific: Head to toe he is too cute. Love the shorts and the shoes. Just wonderful!
Etsune: What a handsome man! The color palette is, of course, gorgeous, and i envy that chocolate colored scarf on his bag! ENVY ENVY ENVY!!!
His hair is pretty bitchin’ too.
I’m lovin his look =)
Kjeld Duits: @Lia: FACETASM is pretty wild, eh! Some of them are far from what is “accepted” and I don’t think everybody can “get” their designs.
Your decision on your hair sounds like the careful and sensible route to take. Good luck!
@burgess: Thanks for sharing the link. I hadn’t visited Style Arena for a while. I see they now also show all the details like JS has been doing for many years.

Amazing! She would later go on to become a brilliant singer-songwriter and musician. Did you have any inkling that she had that future ahead of her?
