Listening to YUKI: JOY

Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

The first thing that caught my eye with her outfit is the jewellery. It really made the ensemble! :)

I 100% absolutely love this woman and her personal style whenever I see pics of her. PLEASE let her know she has a blushing admirer and that her boyfriend’s very lucky!

@Mathieu Sankeralli: I’m pretty sure that Momo reads the comments, Mathieu. And yesterday was her day off from work, so she probably already knows. ^^

@Miriam: I’ve seen Momo wear several colors and styles, and I also think this one looks best so far. It accentuates Momo’s sharp cheek lines.

She has bright personality and I admire that she tries different things to explore further with the design for tights and leggings. What she said about the owner of Avantgarde caught my attention – that nothing is impossible. I was wondering if it is possible for you to interview Kazuhiro Watanabe. I would love to know more about the way he’s thinking and the history behind his brand. Thank you for making possible to catch a glimpse on Japanese fashion and people even if we are so far away.:D
