This month's KERA is all about creating new looks by mixing things up! The picture above is a shot from a funky, punky Super Lovers spread.
The beauty feature has a summery focus - how to keep your skin "white" this summer.

"Tropical" makeup is making an impact. According to KERA the key is "flashy" but "cute". Fresh and fruity. We think it looks more like something from a touring big top but who are we to argue with the KERA sense of summer style?


KERA photo shoots are always fab but this one is such a sweet treat. Part of an underwear as outerwear spread, this is strong and gorgeous in so many ways.

But our fav pic in the whole mag is this super cool street shot in Harajuku of Shotaro and Ikumi from Chapter, looking far more street and serious than our Design Festa snapshot of them.

Feeling pretty excited to spot some treasures from our super talented designers in this month's issue of N.E.E.T mag. N.E.E.T does a spectacular job of showcasing some of the hottest independant designers and their creations!

Here I am sporting a Honmonoya
vintage corsage as part of a N.E.E.T STUFF collection. The irony of this photo is that it was never to make it to public view however Masao with all of his sweetness and wisdom decided it was to become the thumbnail. I shuddered slightly to see a bad hair, no makeup photo taken of me standing on our rooftop in Tokyo was selected. But am super happy to see the gorgeous corsage under the spotlight.

The ever so yummy mushroom pin by 393103 made a sweet appearance in the N.E.E.T picks.

And the rockin' red Skinny Argyle Tie added to a hot Boys Night Out fashion spread.

Thanks a million to N.E.E.T mag!

ps Be sure not to miss the gorgeous Precious Pirate photo shoot in Paris!!

Watch out Kitty Chan there are some new pretty kitties in town!
This is a quick peak at some creations from a gorgeous fantasy range of accessories we are about to have in stock here at TOKYOMADE.

Hinagiku is a whimsical and colorful visual sensation. Spotted at the Tokyo Design Festa, Hinagiku's space was filled with kawaii treasures dangling from white, fluffy clouds. We were instantly in love and are super happy to be bringing you the yummy bits and pieces very soon!

OK that is about all the rhyming I am capable of today. The only other word I can think of is crack, and somehow it just doesn't fit.

After a super successful Tokyo Design Festa showing, MACBAG designer Machie let us pick out our fav pieces from her summer range. We are more than excited to show off her latest colorful creations. The LOVE bag and Mini Drum Bags are stylin one-of-a-kind pieces handcrafted from vibrant African fabrics.

LADE has landed at TOKYOMADE with their original pieces of wearable street art.


LADE's fashion concept is "Interspace of water and ice, solid and liquid, stagnation and fluidity."

Representing Tokyo street style on a global scale, LADE creations have become sought after originals in style hubs outside of this bright city. Sharing their time between Japan and Canada LADE are all about breaking boundries and boarders with their fresh fashion.

A hot pot of fresh Chi landed on our doorstep today! Chizuru Nakamura has outdone herself with the striking colors and unique design of the Vintage Chi Bag and The Party Chi Bag.

Icy cocktail dreams from a sweaty Tokyo,

Must say we are wrapped up in LADE's call to take it to the streets! These boys mean business, they talk the talk, walk the walk and their latest tee range is proof of their talent and thirst to spread the independant spirit.

Beatnik, the origin of all pop cultures and counter cultures, is still a powerful movement and the message still flows in us.

The message tells us never to be swallowed into the mass culture, and never to lose our individuality and value.

Tally Ho,

This month's Dr Sketchy's Anti Art School steamed up the Pink Cow in Shibuya with it's Arabian ambiance.

Gorgeously glam model Michi showed off her super talent as she shimmied and gave us a taste of the dance from the east.

An amazing mix of talented artists set up early and got to work as Dillon dazzled with facts and a winning DJ mix. All the while Michi provided powerful and sexy form for the sketchers.

The highlight for us, as always, was competition time. We are intensely fortunate to be a part of this vibrant event and supporting it any way we can is a pure delight. Each month we invite the TM designers to contribute something to the prize booty. This month Eshimasa out did himself and contributed some mindblowing limited edition pieces. The first prize (which we sadly missed the op to take a pic of) was a one-of-a-kind Eshimasa X Tokyomade tshirt designed especially for the event!! WOW!

The other comp of the night was won by a firey and inspirational artist, Emily. Emily was the cheerful winner of an original Japanese fan designed by Eshimasa. The bonza prize pack also included gorgeous postcards created by Michi, a Dress Pod, 77 Kat Street Necklace and plenty of TOKYOMADE promo goodies.

We met a troop of awesome new friends and got to celebrate a glorious Tokyo summer night with some of our favorite people!

The LADE Clothing boys add a sense of coolness and style to any party, Wednesday was no exception. (Aahhhhhhh I love this job!!)

Alison, the gorgeous, enjoyed a well earned break and the delights on offer at the Pink Cow.

The next Dr Sketchy's Tokyo will be held Wednesday 25th of July. If you are strolling the streets of Tokyo with not much to do, you know where to go...Pink Cow Shibuya. Come early to get a seat!

Hope to see you there, if not be sure to check out this bloggie thing for an update on the sketchy fun!

Finger painting fun to you,
