Art has always inspired me so even when I was a little girl back in Tokyo. Yoshitomo Nara has a way of capturing a childlike innocence in his character paintings with an edge of teenage rebellion that I always seemed to connect with. It takes me to a place long ago when I lived in Japan. I had the opportunity to go to his exhibit in Hawaii once and it was so amazing. A mix of modernism with my own feelings of nostalgia just blew my mind. I watched an interview once with him and he said he has always had a hard time expressing how he feels so thats why he started his artwork. He said he felt like he could capture his emotions more efficiently when given a canvas. And how many of us feel the same way with whatever our "vice" is? Fashion is an expression of you. How you feel, how you want people to perceive you. I love that for us, fashion enthusiasts, our body is like a canvas- Oh the beauty of style!
