Hello Autumn

in-i

I went to see 'in-i' co-directed and performed by Juliette Binoche and Akram khan at National theatre on Monday night. The performance was soothing and uplifting. Very spiritual..
life=instinct

'I try not repeat myself as an actress, or as a person. So I have always been looking for stories that have to with souls and loss and having faith. The most important thing to do is always ask some questions. We should all do that in our lives, and if that means we are all artists, then so we are. We should not let ourselves be stuck inside old ideas or habits. We must grow. That is what living means. - Juliette Binoche

usagi + enfant terrible

I made 2 pieces specially for Enfant Terrible recently. They will be available in April and this is one of them. It's wearable as a cardigan,too. and inside of the blouse is gingham check. How sweet! The fabric that is cotton/linen blend imported from Japan.

a little sketch by Natsu

It seems like Natsu is obsessed with monsters.. Some are from books she read some are from films she watched. One of her favourite film called 'Neighbor Totoro' is a whimsy Japanese film that a few monsters appear, I think this little sketch is influenced by them,too.

beautiful fabric

I update my little shop recently.

fleur dress

I bought this fabric at Liberty London.(I could stay there only for 10 minutes! I wish I could stay longer..) This fabric makes me so happy. the flower is almost floating from fabric and the combination of white, light green and brown. perfect!

marseille smock dress

I got this fabric at a beutiful Japanese online shop called *LINNET*. They have their original linen fabric which mostly made in Japan. This is the first time for me to buy fabric at Linnet and I'm completely in love with it. The quality is outstanding.The price is also outstanding,too... But I think it worth it. Things that makes me happy. It's important for me. I also bought the book about Linen which is written by the shop owner of Linnet. I'd like to post about this book (Linen)soon.

In the park

It always amazes me that children can play with sand hours and hours.
Here is Natsu serving me ice cream that made of sand.

enfant terrible

I'm so excited to introduce my usagi spring/summer collection at enfant terrible.
http://www.enfantterribleshop.com/

Their concept is an emphasis of timelessness and modesty, on simplicity and utility with sophisticated details which exactly what I would like to create. The shop is so inspiring and I'm excited and honourd to be part of the shop! Usagi spring/summer collection will be available from April.

I'm going to do a little shop update on 3rd March. Here is a peek.

etoile dress

I'm so happy with this dress. I think this is so chic and beautiful. I used different fabrics for collar, sleeves and body. They are made of linen and cotton. I particularly like stripy sleeves which are transparent.
