waiting for some words to jump at me.

 I don't know what's wrong with me but lately I can't write. I haven't lost my desire to write I just don't have much to say. But I will say this, Sara Arai's collection was the highlight of Japan Fashion Week. After looking at her collection I wanted to know more so I looked up the brand description  and this is what came up:

Arai, brought up in Beijing, graduated from Fashion College Sakuragaoka. After her  debut in China, she moved to Tokyo to set up her own label. Her made-to-order clothes are of extreme comfort and beautiful lines. Since 1998, she has also been working as a stylist for celebrities. In 2005, she opened her flagship shop in Mejiro, Tokyo and started sales of her couture products. Arai started her prêt-à-porter line araisara in 2008, to express the connection between traditional oriental culture and fashion.

she's amazing.

Hidenobu Yasui...his collection reminded me of a boring office place but I like this dress.

I also liked that mintdesigns used Asian models...wtf Japan Fashion Week your shows/models were supposed to look different from the European ones!!! I'm disappointed.

My niece is nine....

So I made then mailed her some origami! I kept the corazón for myself. 

Story of the week

Haha Bill O'Reilly. This article made my day. I was having a good day but after reading this article my faith in karmic retribution was restored. If you have time read some/all of the complaint around page 8 or 9 it started to get interesting.

Jil Sander's design consulting agreement with UNIQLO aka +J = love! Last night I bought a grey Merino turtle neck sweater dress. I really want the tuxedo coat but I didn't allow myself because what I really need are trousers. Hooray for big designers hitting the high street! It is one fashion fad that I will never tire of. 

There it is the newest piece of wool in my wardrobe after a day of work.

* ehhhh next time I'll get someone else to take the picture

Dear the Sartorialist,

 I'm so glad that you're going San Francisco for a signing but what about Sapporo? I love your book and would love to fly home see friends and family, then get my book signed buuuut that's not really an option for me. So why do you come here? I'm almost sure you could make it happen.

Sincerely,

Sapporo
