HYPER JAPAN 2012

Getting hyper about Japan is something many of you know is an
 easy thing for me to do. Well last weekend not only myself

 but many of you yourselves, took a trip up to London's Earls Court
Exhibition Centre so you could get all excited and hyper about Japan
and that you all most certainly did. 

It was loud, fast, bright and colourful. If f I left anything out just fill
 in the gaps please. I dragged the old camera out,the one that is so big
 it scares people away generally.

The same one that fails to accurately record what's there but is so
 keen to show me its favorite colours, the ones it seems to see
 everywhere, green and red so please forgive the colours, I'm sure
many of you have become accustomed 

to them by now in viewing my images. I hope the few images 

I managed to capture have a manner of excitement about them.

I know many of you enjoyed yourselves.

 

 Kylie (left) and Rachel (right)  both dresses in Fairy Kei 

style at Hyper Japan in London.

This is Sachiko.

As long as I can remember see her at various events, 

dressing in Decora style is something she's always done.

As you can see, she does it really well.

 And yes, she really does have the Japanese name Sachiko

with the meaning for Happy child.

 

More to get hyper about. This is Reika.

She's dressed in Kimo Loli or Wa Loli style. (Kimono Lolita style)

This seems to be growing in popularity recently in Tokyo.

Maybe it has something to do with a new or popular Anime 

or Manga currently out. Naturally a great source for inspiring 

being a visual both a beacon and a conduit for expressive 

young teenagers whole nothing more than chopping up the old 

and fusing it with the new to create something entirely unique.

Reika works this look incredibly well I think. What do you think? 

Finishing up where I'm happiest. Fashion on the streets.

If I could have a favourite person at London Fashion Week 

without a doubt it would be this funkster. 

This is Tomoko Inuzuka, manager of the hugely popular 

and well respected brand and shop Vermeerist Beams

She's always in bright colours and is possibly one of the 

biggest fans of Manish Arora owning many of his pieces 

but on the day I saw her, she braved the freezing cold in 

warm colours this time by Christian Lacroix

I am very happy to see here here in London as I'm kind of homesick

for Japan right now and can't wait to be back in Tokyo and Osaka

after the fashion week season is over late March.

I still haven't decided should I do Tokyo Fashion Week mid March.

Being with people. Mixing with people.

Seeing them happy and interacting with them.Feeling their energy. 

Tapping into it on occasions. Spotting someone and hoping your 

hunch about them pays off and the excitement of it when it does.

This is what it's about for me. This is why I love street style.

This is why I wish to share all of this with you.

Because it is all about you, You make this happen.

Not me. I just happy knowing some of you out there not only 

like what I do and understand it, but wish to be a part of it all.

Be yourself out there. Just have fun on the streets.

Here's another helping of some of the people and the amazing 

images they allowed me to capture of how they display their

own individual sense of style at London Fashion Week.

Not just a pretty face. His style is his amazing grace.
