milk-tea-shirt

this girl was high maintenance.

my friend and i were hanging out, and out of nowhere, looking for each other's high schools online. then, we both remembered and shared our good and bad uniform memories in japan. my friend was describing how her uniform was a dress and a shirt, while the common looks were two pieces with a jacket and skirt. that right there, it was enough to catch my attention, but more exciting thing happened when she said about the color of the shirt... it was "milk-tea color." oh, how cute it sounds! "milk-tea" right then and there, i had to draw a sketch based on her "milk-tea" uniform. (it took forever to draw the girl. at least i found out the illustrator is not for sketches...)

Erik Satie

Erik Satie

there are many ways and places to get inspiration from. one of important sources is music for me. when i do something, i always need to play music. i love everything from michael jackson to jazz or bossa nova type stuff. lately, i've been into classic. one song that caught my ears was the song that i've always heard, but wasn't really sure of who composed it. i came to find out it was "Gymnopedie No.1" by Erik Satie. the song makes me feel as if it washed away everything inside out in this world. very inspirational! once i start to design my own clothes, i would love to create something like his music... one day, one day...

i sometime get this urge to go to a bookstore, which majority of the time, it's a signal from my brain commanding me to satisfy his cravings for different worlds. whenever that happens, everything i see or read becomes delicious meals to my starving commander. after all the meal, he starts to digest all of the inputs, and mold them up to his own thoughts and ideas for me! he will be quiet for a while... i share a couple of pictures with you, which amusingly tickled my senses. enjoy!

i'm a fan of MARNI on facebook. one of the fans sent me this link.

i love anything surreal. that sense of the world speaks to me deeply to my heart; dark, magical, girly, and yet content.the sum of the feelings are where I belong to...inspirationally soothing, quietly peaceful. the whole video accurately translates the entire collection this season.MARNI is my heart!

"Marni presents the new video for the FW09 collection:
