I don't care what my teachers say
I'm gonna be a supermodel.
And Everyone is gonna dress like me,
wait and see

When I'm a supermodel
and my hair will shine like the sea.
Everyone will wanna look just like me
me...

Cause I'm young and I'm hip, and so beautiful,
I'm gonna be a supermodel

I adored this song from the Clueless soundtrack. The lyrics flooded back into my head last weekend when we did a super fun photo shoot for the hot New York label recently launched on TOKYOMADE, chief&mischief.

Keep watching this space for the unveiling of their full and fab range of New York inspired, printed in Tokyo original fashion pieces!

Last night was a Tokyo extravaganza to remember! To celebrate the launch of chief&mischief on TOKYOMADE, a delicious crowd of designers, dancers, photographers, artists, djs and fashionistas made their way to the stylish Velours in Aoyama, Tokyo.

The New York inspired, printed in Tokyo range of funky street style tees for guys and girls were rocked by performers, models and designers throughout the night. Proving their street cred, magnetic style and versatile flair the chief&mischief tees are now available on TOKYOMADE with more styles on their way.

New York inspired label chief&mischief has been given the 5 heart rating by voters on I Love Your T-shirt, the ultimate online space for t-shirt connoisseurs.

The recently launched range offers up a veritable buffet of street inspired, printed in Tokyo tees. Sizes and style vary and are available for both men and women.

Towering above the crowds on the corner of Omotesando and Aoyama Dori, possibly one of the most prominent positions in the city, the Beckhams cast their sensual gaze on the masses. Side by side in life and on Tokyo billboards. How romantic!

It is a rare occasion that not a soul can be found on the streets of Omotesando, Tokyo. The otherwise jam packed side walk of Tokyo's version of Champs Elysees, Omotesando Dori, made for a serene 5am stroll back to Harajuku Station after the Stitch party.

February 14 holds a special place in our hearts for reasons other than V Day, although love hearts and big hugs also play a major role in our day of celebration.

This week we celebrated with fancy newness. Swooning over the artistic creations of Tokyo-based illustrator Josh McKible we welcomed his new range, MCKIBILLO to TOKYOMADE. The Nani Bird series is a constant source for a good old grin for us, knowing we are at times in the same boat as these lil birdies. Nani? (What?)

BLITZ Kiss added more vibrantly colored pop to her new accessory range. They are being snapped up, just like we knew they would! The kitschy Japanese toy theme in her latest range is a hot trend with many London hipsters!

chief&mischief keep serving up their superb style of tempting street wear. More tees headed your way.

It has been an enormous year filled with intensity and fulfillment. We launched on this day last year with a few fabulous designers and have grown to now support 40 Japan-based creators. A fabulously international mix of truly talented folks who blow us away daily with their professionalism, kindness and skill.

More than anything, TOKYOMADE has given us and many of the creators on this site the opportunity to connect, build friendships, share ideas and grow. This in itself is a powerful reward for the hard work and effort pumped into making a project like TOKYOMADE float (the parties are pretty superb too, a definite perk!) Thank you to each and every idea sharer, designer, illustrator, creator, maker, builder, producer, mixer you are a constant bubbling spring of pure inspiration for us! Thank you.

We are eternally grateful and connected to you; the supporters, fans, emailers, the shoppers for sharing our love for Japan-based creation and design. It is always a joy to hear from you, receive your messages of support and of course your purchases are telling of your admiration for the ranges on offer here at TOKYOMADE. Thank you.

We plan to celebrate tonight by joining Tokyo's glitterati at Glitterball. Toted as the annual night of pleasure, thrills and chills. Sounds like a spectacular way to top of a thrill-filled year. Thank you once again, we intend to propose many a toast to you all. Looking forward to celebrating a decade of TOKYOMADE action with you!

Patented back in 1861, the good old postcard is just as much a symbol of style and kitsch today as it was back in it's early days.

More than just a way to send some international style around the world, postcards have become a simple way to grab a piece of your favorite artist's work. Add some funkiness to your space.

New to TOKYOMADE are the MCKIBILLO cards. Featuring the Nani Birds, dokoro (skulls) and red hot bonsai, you can now nab a pack of 6 assorted cards illustrated by Josh McKible.

We first spotted CUM Tokyo and her steamy creations over on her MySpace page. Saucy images surrounded by thumping tunes had us hooked.

We knew it wouldn't be long until we were hanging together in the same space. So we are excited to introduce the new CUM Tokyo range on TOKYOMADE. Cheeky style created right here in Tokyo.

Witty one liners and naughty accents add to the juicy flavor of this range.

I have lived in Tokyo for about 4 years and Masao has been here his whole life. During that time we have taken endless snap shots and video to try and capture the essence of this city to share it with the rest of the world. MylesinLondon manages to harness everything we have ever wanted to share and pack it into a less than 3 minutes. Genius!
