at this moment..i am trying to work on a few personal projects. one involving pencil in my hand. another involving making suits. or rather, "suits". i'm very inspired by the way guys have this way or wearing suits... or maybe it is derived from the my love/obsession for gakuran uniforms and that feeling of uniform-ness. nonetheless, i am going to make a few different sort of suits until i get tired of doing so. and i'm thinking of making one in leopard, one in lavender-lilac, one in a floral brocade, one in a tartan. yeah....this also basically reflects my evovling closet which has gone from all shades of black and white to all of the above patterns. colour is a good change.

to get me started on my mini-collections of "suits" (oh , i say suits because i feel sooo not qualified to say it without quotes. i am such an informal dresser) ..this is a recent purchase.

can anyone guess where it's from? the wooden buttons give it away nomnom i'm going to have good dreams when if i wear this to sleep

so bad it's GOODDDDDDDDD

i was going thru my fashion illustration portfolio from my school days (i say it like i've been out of school forever), and these were in there. i think in every collection i did for concepts class, i had something that was taken from school uniforms. i cannot get over gakuran's, which are boy's traditional (pre-blazers) uniform in japan. i did a post a while back ( http://erithemermaid.blogspot.com/2009/07/crows.html) on the film crows zero/crows zero 2/gakuran uniform, & i'm still going gagaaaaa- it's completely badass and i'm completely obsessed.

crows

finally, the internet people have uploaded crows zero 2! if you don't know me well already, i am obsessed with these kinds of japanese movies with beautiful japanese boys. and this movie in particular is basically lots of blood and fighting, but i am somehow so attracted to this! oguri shun plays the head of the school gang, and i am dying over his hair. i am also dying over their rival school's uniform. white school uniform?? it's so chic.. directed by takashi miike. not bad.
