Kjeld Duits: @Monik: You are very welcome. I get this question a lot, actually—perhaps I should make a list of FAQs? Unfortunately, I don’t think you can recover from hay fever. But the hay fever season is about to end soon.
Monik :): Mr. Duits – thank you so much for the exhaustive explanation and link. Too bad there are any other reasons of wearing those masks than fashion :( Hope Aki will recover soon :)
Kjeld Duits: @Monik: The majority of the people wear them for two reasons. They either suffer from hay fever (about 20% of the Japanese population does), or they have a cold and don’t want to give it to other people. And then there is a small number of people wearing masks as a fashion statement. Aki suffers from hay fever. Quite badly, actually.
LenaChi: Unreal collection! Looks like a dream
Kjeld Duits: @LenaChi: Those socks are by ANREALAGE. I actually shot the ANREALAGE show where they introduced that line. One of the best shows of that season. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!
LenaChi: Funny socks :3
María: She’s like a doll! So pretty~
Emma: Her smiling photo really brightened up my day! The outfit is so well put together and her make-up is really great too.
Kjeld Duits: @Weronika: Love to surprise, Weronika. I’ll keep my eyes wide open for more of them. ^^
Weronika: simple and classy look. Love it :)
Karol: great look. love her hair
Kjeld Duits: @María: I actually shot these images about a week or so before I shot Yeji at her exhibition. So this is her previous look.
María: She looks so different from last time :O I love her tattoos!
RH: Her hair style is amazing, as is the rest of her outfit but I do particularly like her hair. Very cute.
María: その顔は化粧モデルのように、きれい！♥
Kjeld Duits: @Ana: No, the design is by Tonan Kojo, who participated in the 2013 graduation fashion show of Vantan Design Institute.
Ana: Did she make this super awesome outfit?
