The venue in Shimokitazawa was called WEDGE and that is exactly what we did! We wedged an astonishing crowd of talented creators and their fans into the basement bar. Words cannot describe so I will let the pictures do the talking...

Thank you for all of your support, power and creative inspiration. The stage is set for a Summer Fragment. The Summer session will be bigger, better and by far the most beautiful. We have huge plans!

As kawaii as their accessories and sweet as their brand name suggests, Japanese creators Honey Bunny are filling the lives of Tokyo kids with delectable pieces from a yummy utopian world of sweet fashion.

Fairytale like creators Hansel and GR, as they like to be called, started whipping up batches of goodness about 2 years ago when they saw a shortage of sweet treats to wear and share. Since then the sweet accessory look has boomed in Japan and Honey Bunny has been here to bake the goodies and keep the kids sugar filled.

Naturally Honey Bunny creators spend their days munching on cookies and sweets in cafes flipping through confectionery magazines for delicious inspiration.

Honey Bunny is a brand for girls who love to dress up with kawaii, pop, fairy tale and sweetie styles.

Brilliant World Tokyo founder and artist Isaac has put together some seriously funky images and tunes from last weeks TOKYOMADE Fragment event in Shimokitazawa.

Check these out to see some of the designers, happenings and friendly faces in the underground basement bar, WEDGE. Spy on Isaac, Eshimasa and Sasha as they create art LIVE.

Inspired by The Universe, Shibuya based design space mememachine is whipping out mesmerizing fashion miracles for spiritually conscious style lovers.

The colors and images, printed onto 6.2 oz cotton tees, fill eyes with delight, minds with thought and hearts with splendor. mememachine are the collage creating masters. They use a thermal transfer printing process.

We had so much fun with this photo shoot. Lots of giggles as Masao danced around in the shoot space inspired by the tunes pumping in the background and the funky scenes printed on the mememachine tees.

Thunder bolts from the heavens, black magic women, honey filled orchids and messages of peace are just a few of the hidden images and messages in the mememachine creations.

mememachine also collaborated with Photographer Hal to create the greatly loved and gawked at Couples Tee.

The slippery slopes of Spain Zakka running along side La Fabrique in Shibuya are a treasure trove of trashion. The latest on offer is no exception. Girls' Doors by LDS has a luscious selection of colorful accessories and funky styles. It is Patricia Field meets Paris Kids.

The fact that the models in the window were rocking hoops added so much more appeal. OK OK I want one of everything in that shop!

The scrunchie is back and it is making a new fashion statement as it becomes the accessory of choice this season in Tokyo.

According to the latest CUTiE street fashion magazine the scrunchie, or shushu as it is called in Japanese, is a must have item for Summer because of it's versatility and range of colors, shapes and sizes. No longer simply a hair accessory, the shushu is being worn as a stand out wrist wrap. The article in CUTiE says the bigger the scrunchie the more alluring your style.

Go on girls, dig out those scrunchies. We have a theory that the scrunchie never actually left the fashion scene it was just taking a break and in hiding for a bit. Well it is hiding no longer and is being spotted all over Tokyo.

Just in case you kicked your scrunchies to the curb decades ago BLITZ Kiss has whipped up some hot, new scrunchalicious looks!
