Lipsticks!
Last night I went to the Fashion Editor's Club of Japan's 51st annual award ceremony.
The organization was started after the war to promote fashion in Japan....anyway, The great Shu Uemura was honored, as was Limi Yamamoto. One of my favorite people on the earth was there too, honored as international designer of the year. Stefano Pilati.
Chic-ness to the ultimate power.
Here is Stefano with film starlette Rinko Kikuchi who was honored for promoting Japan within the international fashion industry as the face of Chanel.
One, two! Lay your eyes on the dress Stefano and the YSL team made especially for her!

I have been hosting a new show called Tokyo Fashion Express for Japan's public broadcasting network NHK.
One of my favorite favorite FAVORITE privileges of this experience is the amazing clothes I get to wear each week.
Just wanted to shout out to Nozomi Ishiguro and Anrealage for the gear (outfit, and sunglasses respectively) for a recent episode. Fall/Winter 2008-9!

What up lipstick ladies!
Still they were incredibly strong. A few were from the collection that Kansai presented at his landmark show in London back in 1970 (ah, or 71?)- they caught the attention of David Bowie and would help to create the iconic Ziggy Stardust look. The photos here are by Masayuki Sugita, the famous rock music photographer. And props to Yacco who styled some of the other images featured in the show.
I caught the show just before it ended!
Anyway, you should know about these peeps since they are the pillars of Japanese fashion-culture. Google away!
Having technical difficulties so posting Daido in the next one!

Went to check out the fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto's exhibition over at the Edo Tokyo Museum. I was prepared to be floored but, sadly, I was disappointed! The clothes got lost in this dark, huge hall, and the exhibition featured only a handful of looks.

....Forgive me girls, still getting the hang of this technical business...
Where was I? Ah! Moriyam Daido's retrospective just opened over in Ebisu at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. The work spans from '65-05'. Must see.
It is a very straight forward, photography exhibition (with symmetrical frames layed out on white walls) unlike some of Daido's other museum shows-he tends to overwhelm the senses with his black and white world by completely taking over spaces. Still, very very important show. The opening was filled with photography nerds wearing cameras around their necks. Right on.
Me on the other hand, I am complete book otaku, so seeing the rare issues of Provoke nearly brought out the thief in me. I like the Hysteric period too which focuses on patterns and close ups of details of Daido's stomping ground, Shinjuku. I love his images of women. Grainy, contrasty, sexy.
Ugh, hot!
