I’m all about putting a cat on your head, but there’s something not right about this particular kitty. Japanese designer Campanella had the right idea, but lost it somewhere between the crazed-cat eyes and the stiff thin body. Seriously, they should’ve fattened up the cat a bit…. maybe have in a …

Japanese designer Pameo Pose some sweet outfits perfect for a picnic or garden party. Naturally, my fave piece is the chunky heels with -count them- FIVE bows! Someone got it right! I’m also loving the turquoise and red color combo…. really styling’…. Any who, check out Pameo’s e-shop- you can get these …

Japanese designer Hisui unveiled their Fall 2014 collection inspired by folkloric ensembles and that neighborhood hobo wrapped in all sorts of blankets, jackets and pants in the middle of April. I actually like this collection because it looks all sorts of cozy mozy. And I really like the built-in tables at the …

  Check out these awesome socks  by Japanese designer Erimaki Sox ! They’re like little shirts for your feet! How cool! They come in a variety of patterns, including strips (so nautical) and gingham (It’s a picnic… ON YOUR FEET! ) I wanted to order a pair or two, but the website is …

Bortsprungt -Fall 2014 collection was full of horror references only a sick kitten like me would love. I have to say, those Japanese really know how to mix cute with fright. Having said that, I’ll take one of each, thankyouverymuch. photos: Tokyo Fashion Diaries

Check out the awesomeness coming out of Just Like Honeyee!! It’s the burger bangle!! I’m not a huge fan of hamburgers, but I would most definitely wear this work of art around my wrist. It costs about US$140 and ships from Japan. Yes, Please!!! photos: James St. James

For details on each designer and what not, go to Tokyo Fashion Diaries for the run down. My favorite is the chunky knit sweater …

  Japanese designer Masaya Kushino (also the designer behind Ambush) created theses bird-themed shoes using hand-dyed feathers and a heel shaped into a bird claw. Honestly, I give the guy an A+ for effort, but a sad C for execution… only because they look like something I would’ve made in high …

Here is the latest graduate collection by Bunka Fashion Graduate University…VIVIANNO SUE, IN SEO, LEE CHINHUA, MIKI ONO. I’m a big fan of Japanese fashion, mainly because it’s usually colorful, cute,  doesn’t make sense and involves some sort of kitten-theme. My fave out of this bunch is probably the pastel brillo pads fashioned into jackets …

Japanese company  Pampshade  had the a-ha idea of putting an LED light into a loaf of real bread… because, why not? It’s also a critter magnet, since a loaf of bread sitting on your bedside table is just asking for trouble. Ask Oscar Madison. Anywho, this retails for about US $35, …
