Very trendy and cool! I adore her earrings. They’re a great touch. Focusing on the shoes, I’d like to point out that I would probably kill myself in them. I’d probably stand in a gutter or something. I’m not great with heels, though to be fair these heels do look quite supportive. Anyway, the dress and the bag are GORGEOUS. I so want. By the way, I Googled roomslink.com out of curiosity. Where is your exact surroundings Mai? Where did you manage to come across these stacks of boxes? I really like this scene.

Beautiful look! I love how she has echoed the explosion of colours of her dress with her various accessories. And those shoes…

gosh, i love this. Honestly, I think this is one of my favorite outfits of all time on here. It’s beautiful and edgy. And you know what? The look is easy, too! She’s not wearing 5 million rings and bracelets or anything like that! I love this!
Wear was this picture taken?

Oh, that is just freakin’ awesome. <3

@Mel: These boxes were at the entrance of the roomsLINK exhibition. I think Mai used them extremely well as a background. We also shot some of the recent fashion shows at roomsLINK.

@Etsune: Haha. Yes, I almost faded away. ^ _ – I had to write and photograph two major features on Osaka fashion for two European fashion magazines. It was a huge job that took almost all my time this month. Quite a few days that I worked until 2:00, 3:00 or even 5:00 am. Good to be back!

@Etsune: Yes, it was extremely successful. The request came just as I set off for the Japan Fashion Week, so the timing was kind of bad. I think I will write new articles from the same interviews for JS. But probably can’t do that until the articles are published in the magazines in January.

@Etsune. Actually, it will be January in just four weeks… It’ll be here before you know. ^^
Sounds like quite an exiting job you have! I agree!

@Maria: Yes, you see that a lot here. I think we have more photographs of this style of make-up.

@Etsune: Yes, November already finishes tomorrow. I have trouble keeping up!

I became a journalist and photographer because of the terrible things I saw around my home after the Kobe Earthquake of 1995. I put out a news release in Europe and reported on it for newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. After a few weeks I approached some news media to see if they could use a correspondent in Japan. They politely asked me to write stuff, and everything was published. Over the next few years my work was increasingly published worldwide. In the late 1990s, I started to feel that traditional media would not be able to compete with new media, so I started a website in early 2000, not even a year after I first connected to the internet. I started shooting street fashion around 2001, and JS was started in 2002. I started shooting Tokyo runway fashion when the Japan Fashion Week was started in 2005. I have always taken the first step myself, and the work almost always follows.

It is your life, Etsune. It is in your own hands to decide what you want to do with it, and act on that conviction.

@LActose Intoler-Art: I don’t think so, but I would love to see her work.

I really love the top and the shoes, I also love the bracelet. =)

love the top, the earrings, and the bracelet!
