Styling as Brigitte Bardot [ブリジット・バルドー風コーディネーション]

One of my favorite recent projects from my stylist course at school is the coordination of a 1950s or 1960s fashion style using clothes purchased from second-hand shops, which are extremely abundant and popular in Tokyo.
The aim of the project is to choose an iconic figure from that era and recreate their fashion style with a sense of modernity by using clothes that can be found today.
I headed to Kichijouji in Tokyo, where shopping for vintage and second-hand goods are widely popular among young adults in Tokyo, and found a long striped shirt (which I tied a knot to make it into a crop-top), high-waisted scalloped shorts, and a French style scarf all under $50 that I used to recreate the style of French actress, model, and sex icon, Brigitte Bardot.
この間学校で勉強した50~60年代のファッションスタイルをモダン風にコーディネートをしますた。その時フランス女優、モデル、やセックスアイコン「ブリジット・バルドー」風の洋服を吉祥寺の古着屋さんで買って、スタイリングして、撮影をしました!
このストライプシャツとハイウェストショットパンツとフランス風スカーフは全て5000円以下に買いましたよ。

Meeting Noritaka Tatehana [舘鼻則孝(タテハナ・ノリタカ) と会う]


Today in Shinjuku's Isetan department store, Lady Gaga's favorite shoe designer, Noritaka Tatehana, made an appearance along with a collection of some of his most iconic heels. His designs are very well-known in the fashion industry and can be found in a variety of fashion magazines from all over the world, as they are both crazy yet innovative. Upon hearing the news of his public appearance, we were beyond excited to meet him in person and see for ourselves the shoes that have made a name for themselves in the fashion design world. It was such an honor and pleasure to meet the designer himself, and fun to play with such amazing shoes!
今日は新宿の伊勢丹で、レディーガガの大好きな靴デザイナーさんと会いました。タテハナさん本人と彼デザインしたアイコニックな靴が登場しました。タテハナさんのデザインはファッション世界にすごく革新的、有名な靴です。または、色々な国のファッション雑誌で見つけますよ。こんな影響力のあるデザイナーさんと会えるのはすごく嬉しかったです!








These are Noritaka Tatehana's other brand, 
The Daughters, which are affordable sneakers (men's high-top sneakers in the first picture, women's  wedged sneakers in the second) that you may purchase at approximately $500USD.
このスニーカーはノリタカ・タテハナさんのもう一つのブランド「THE DAUGHTERS」です。伊勢丹で約49,000円で買えますよ。一番目の写真はメンズのスニーカー、二番目はレディーズのウェッジスニーカーです。



These were surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in!
すごく歩きやすくて、履きやすい靴です。びっくりした!

Swarovski crystal embellishments.
スワロフスキークリスタルで作りました。




Beautiful stingray skin!
えい皮ですよ!

You can actually custom-make your own pair of these shoes at a price of at least $4,000USD!
実は、このような靴をカスタムメードに作るのはできます。最低400,000円かかります!

Noritaka Tatehana will be at the Shinjuku Isetan department store again on 8/10 for his second and last meet-and-greet, so do check it out if you are interested!
タテハナさんは8/10 (土)に同じ場所で会う最後のチャンスなので、皆さん是非見に行ってください!
