Things I love: Japanese Fashion

All images from Tokyo Fashion

I love Japanese fashion, I think the way the people wear clothes is provocative, "out there", and  so eccentric, which personally pushes me to be a lot more daring with my own designs. It's nice to see fashion in it's extremes, especially in this style, so you are challenged more creatively and you become more adventurous too because of it. I've always had a quirky personality, so it's nice to see that certain countries and cultures appreciate that and embrace it! No way is it cool to be a fashion sheep!

Artists I love: Lazy Oaf

I absolutely love this lovely, quirky clothing label... as always, it's lovely independent companies like these that push me to push my business further! Lazy Oaf's label, founded by Gemma Shiel is literally so upbeat and wonderful, I would love to own a piece :).

I think the fact that it's built up so awesomely over the 11 years it's been run, and I'd like to be blissfully happy with Handmade by Ify in that time too!

I also LOVE how quirky these pieces are:

Nearly as much as crisps card

I will one day snap up these pieces :)
