Kjeld Duits: @Lisa B.: Just checked out the trailer and read the Wikipedia entry. Looks like quite a movie.
Lisa B.: Beautiful! Kind of reminds me of the film “Picnic at Hanging Rock.”
Kjeld Duits: @Clémence: Thank you. The model on the swing is Kokoru Kin. I have photographed her several times on the street, and knew she was a model. But it was still a surprise to discover her, and another person I shot on the streets before, at yesterday’s shoot. ^^

8honoyo : Inspirational Stylish Fun
Apr 11 2014: Tokyo hat designer Honoyo Imai’s creations are stylish, fun, and very different…
Kjeld Duits: @Baterka: But I can understand your English. ^^
Baterka: Amazing!
I really like how looking his way. (Search for school ,changes etc)
Video was inspiring. :-) You can see that passion of creation.
She is really charming!
(Sorry for my terrible English :-))
Kjeld Duits: @Mathieu S.: Thanks, Mathieu. Yes, Honoyo is a very inspiring person. More artist than designer, I think. That attracts me to her hats even more. She gives you the opportunity to wear art in your daily life. I hope my readers will support her in a big way. Either by sharing this interview, or by purchasing one or more of her works. I really want her to succeed! She deserves it. ^^

Kjeld Duits: @Julia: She is one of Funakashi’s most important assistants. I actually don’t know if she has twitter…
Julia: who’s the girl with the big black hair? she wouldn’t happen to have twitter or something similar? super cool anyway.
Kjeld Duits: @Karol: Glad you like Funakoshi’s style, Karol!
8Dorothy Vacance
Jan 11 2012: Ayano “Gon” Nakayama of Dorothy Vacance transforms old men’s dress shirts into high fashion
Kim: I fell in love with her “tie collared shirt”
Kjeld Duits: ＠Lactose Intoler-Art: Yes, I think you have hit the nail right on the head there: very tasteful, avant-garde, and unique but also totally her and independent from any major trends influencing the Tokyo fashion scene. I love Gon’s work. She has managed to bridge the gap between other visual art and fashion, but in such a way that the results are actually wearable.
Lactose Intoler-Art: Amazing, amazing! I love her work, and the video was so great, I watched the whole thing. What I love about Gon’s style in particular is it is very tasteful, avant-garde, and unique, but I feel like it is also totally her. She doesn’t seem to defined even by Tokyo trends, but stays true to herself, and it works very, very well for her!

Ana: Yeah…I’m not seeing much of a difference btw.mori girl and dolly kei. Anyone care to explain? Is mori less folk-costume inspired?
Jini: Interesting style, it’s vintage combined with unusual items, smart fashion :)
Watching this vid made me homesick to Japan :( when the guy talks it sounds like a tourist programme, I could watch those all day… sigh…
Arc: @Kjeld TPO true true, true true.

Lactose Intoler-Art: すごい！ I’m gonna have to at LEAST look at this book. Will major book stores carry it in the USA?
