fantastic relaxed / gender neutral yohji look, for la garconne product shot. most product fitpics really bore me, but these are both a) so good and b) create a definite mood, you get a feel for the clothes and the person wearing them. obviously, yohji helps.

really interesting HL piece which is a bit like a more interesting version of a scarf-dress. also obviously it plays with one of my pet interests, obscuring the face.

Children exude such unintentional beauty. For me, this beauty is heightened in the Japanese and their ideology of wabi - sabi, or the appreciation / acceptance of the ephemeral and the imperfect. This way of thought offers one inner peace as opposed to the desire and pursuit of a suffocating, narrow standard of beauty seen in my native culture.
