Exhibition

  By ,

Hi,
Time to time, nice to visit London and catching up with friend!

It was minor complaints, there was unexpecting payment for my hand luggage with Flybe…
I had to pay extra £35, because they have smaller capacity in the craft compartments.
So, I just sent my suits case back with carrier on the way back home, that way is far more reasonable.

Exhibition that unmissable was Dior in V&A.

It was fantastic to see all his work from the Princess Margaret, to representing following designer like,Yves Saint Laurant, Gian Franco Ferre, John Galliano…
I am so grateful to have fantastic fashion friend who is always kind to me to be around since my son was baby.
If I could visit Stanley Kubric exhibition @Design Museum, it was a great bonus but when we visited the tickets are all sold out…
It was good excuse to see “Clockwork Orance” once again!

According to my phone, I was walking 10000steps everyday, visiting exhibition is certainly healthy things!!

Meal @Akira in Japan House in High street Kensigton. Saikyo fried Salmon rice bowl with bento box!! Salmon was marinated in Saikyo miiso and fried, so great flavour and moist with crispy outside! Grilled eel is great in Hot Summer. add grated wasabi, and nori and pour stock tea to enjoy 2nd flavour.

Item important in the story…

  By ,

Just I started reading ” L’Amant ” by Marguerite Duras again…
Book has been translated in Japanese.

In the story, I couldn’t ignore,,, she is talking about ” Hat ” is very

significant in her memory.

” I got a hat, there is no farewell with it. That can re-create myself….
I have a pair of shoes, I felt the same to those, but my hat is far more special….”

I just translated in my way from Japanese translation to English… but Sometime, I feel hat has exactly same way for my style.

I hope I can serve those special hat to the clients all the time.

                                                     The Lover                                                                  The Lover (French: L’Amant) is an autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published in 1984 by Les Éditions de Minuit. It has been translated to 43 languages and was awarded the 1984 Prix Goncourt. (from Google search)

 

P.21 talking about her outfit especially about “Hat”

Show off your style!!

  By ,

When I design clothes, I always finish off with the hat/headpiece 🙂

I have to try each photoshoot with a different look, but I have used the same outfits for different occasions.

You know one outfit can transform the completely different look with the hat!!

These are the example of how the hats and styling make different!!
With fantastic model Mhairi Waddell (15), she can show the same outfit with different HATs to show off!!

  By ,

Since I started buying and sending to my dear dad,

I am so enjoying keeping and looking after my orchids.

Now my mum in Japan, also enjoying looking after them. 🙂

I replanted new shoots earlier, delighted to see Dendrobium Nobile new shoots are starting again!!

Lots of buds are getting bigger Phalaenopsis orchid in pink.

Phalaenopsis orchid in White also growing after cutting the first stem.

Beautiful deep pink Phalaenopsis orchid in front and lighter and bigger flower of Phalaenopsis orchid in bright pink also growing nice!! Dendrobium Nobile in pink 3 new shoots is replanted in a pot. 1 is not a healthy colour of leaves but other 2 are getting nicely settled I hope!!
