Two Illustrators Who Love Drawing Cute Girls

May 11 2013: This week I met Machico and gm, two Japanese illustrators who love drawing cute and colorful girls

Kjeld Duits: @hannah, Soru: On Wednesday morning 1:00 am Japan time, a page allowing you to purchase the tights will go up. Then every so many days we’ll put up a page for another product item. The number of tights is very limited, so if you are interested, you better purchase them as soon as the page goes live. 1:00 am Japan Time = U.S.A. Los Angeles – Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 09:00 New York – Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 12:00 EUROPE Paris (France) – Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 18:00

hannah: @Kjeld: sounds great! Thank you for the responses!

Kjeld Duits: I met with Machico and gm today. We have decided to sell their postcards, badges, stickers, iPhone cases and tights on JAPANESE STREETS. Preparations will take about 1 to 2 weeks. Stay tuned!

toybox: oh wow, it’s great to see Megumi Aihara again! Her style and beauty just knock me out. Wonderful images. Thank you!!

Kjeld Duits: @emi: I’m glad that as a photographer I didn’t have to wait in those long lines. Instead I had too wait among a tightly packed group of sometimes sweaty photographers, though… LOL

emi: thanks for sharing, Kjeld! i loved these photos (though i do have to admit, those long lines, not so much). :) there are always so many different styles on display – i need to plan a trip to Tokyo!

Peace Now Files for Bankruptcy

Mar 07 2013: Japanese gothic themed fashion brand Peace Now has filed for bankruptcy

Tara: h.Naoto has nothing to do with BPN and and his many designers are continuing to have a strong presence in the Japanese goth/punk/Lolita scene here in Tokyo. The weekend before the BPN stores were shut down in the Tokyo area, I was lucky enough to buy a pair of cute Peace Now pirate bear creepers. I will miss the amazing lucky bags on New Years also. RIP BPN

Kjeld Duits: @Tragic Angel: Yes, this is very sad news. Thankfully, h.Naoto is a different brand and as far as I know, doing fine.

Tragic Angel: !!!!???!!! Very sad to hear. I have some things from their lovely little shop here and wish I could have had more. The labels by h Naoto were always to my liking; the designs never got tired, quality high, and this is so very very sad. I wish him well, he is so gifted as are his team. I feel choked up.
