Music=Fashion

"When I was in middle school, I liked punk rock, and I started to become interested in clothes because I wanted to wear the same clothes as my favorite singers. Therefore, the simple rule of "music=fashion" has not changed for me." -Takeshi Osumi

This is PHENOMENON 2013 Spring/Summer Tokyo ready to wear Collection.

Phenomenon was founded in 2004. What i love about Takeshi Osumi is, his collection is very unique to be a street wear brand. The concept of Phenomenon is Music. His clothes have an influence of hip-hop and urban life, but there is still beauty in every look.

In Spring/Summer 2013, Phenomenon gave us color blocking, clean lines, and smooth patterns. This collection is what K.J. stands for. (K.J. is me by the way) He made summer look fresh, clean and put together. Phenomenon has alittle for everybody; want some glamour in your look he has that. Want some edge with camouflage prints he has that to. I see why this brand is really popular among the Japanese boys because it is amazing!

Sharp Prints

As you can see reading my blog, I have a Serious LOVE for prints in Spring/Summer! Antonio Marras took my love to a whole nother level!

This is Antonio Marras Pre-Season Milan Spring 2013 Resort Collection.

Marras inspiration was 1980's, he was looking at design group Memphis this season. Design Group Memphis is an Itiallian design and architecture group started by Ettore Scottass that designs Post Modern furniture, fabrics, ceramics, glass, and metal objects. (Christian Dior used them as inspiration for there 2011-2012 Fall/Winter collection)

Antonio is such a fun designer. As the former Artistic Director for Kenzo he definitely knows how to use prints to make unique designs. His Pre-Season collection was no exception. From his personal line, this has to be my favorite collection! What i loved the most was the combination of sharp prints, light fabrics, Chunky Wedges, and splashes of color. Simply amazing .

"When Christopher Shannon was a kid going out to clubs in Liverpool and Manchester he always wanted to dress up and stand out. A cheap way of doing this was a little glitter spray so we took inspiration from Christopher's love of glitter and the super club scene and completely covered the model's heads in coloured glitter and finishing it off with our Fudge Glitter Blast hair spray,"
