The Ethnic Fashion Show by Momentum Collective



A styling gig I did last month hosted by Momentum Collective. It was at a very eccentric warehouse-like location in Angel, and it was a fashion show that showcased ethnic aesthetics. It featured designers such as Alex Rodin, Arnab Sengupta, Teodora Colic, Zubair Zirmani and such. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience a fashion show and meet designers.

Mock Advert: Marc Jacobs


This was a project I did for uni, we had to make our own advert, and I chose to do a cheeky Marc Jacobs ad.

LONDON.

I have now managed to ship myself from Tokyo to London, and it may be one of the biggest life-changing decisions I have ever made. London is just so vibrant and full of character that it's such a surreal experience to soak myself in the middle of all this chaos. Now don't get me wrong, I am from Tokyo and "chaos" is pretty much a synonym for the city, but London has a different kind of "chaos".

It's been a rough 2 months for me here in London, and I felt like a trooper for surviving. I had no permanent place to stay when I got here, spent two days at a friend's friend's house, then stayed at a hostel at Killburn for a night, then to another in Paddington for a whole month. On top of that, I started college at LCF, and my course was more demanding than I anticipated. But I'm finally now settled in Angel, which is a very very nice location, central but away from the bustling streets.

I'm going to change the format of this site a little bit, I've decided for it to be more focused on visuals rather than writing, so just keep checking because I will be updating often. x
