Konichiwa!



Suzie and I took a whirlwind visit to Tokyo to get some design inspiration…we mastered the complex subway system, exploring so many amazing parts of the buzzing city. We returned home with plenty of design ideas, exploding with stories about their amazing consumer culture. Now we know why Gwen Stefani was so inspired by Harajuku! You’ve never seen anything like the fashion there. There’s a district for every type of style and a store for every kind of trinket.

As for the photo, that us in Tokyo at the Canadian consulate with a Japan/Canada representative and a journalist for Tokyo’s biggest fashion trade publication who did a story about Foxy Originals. Foxy was featured in an article that talked about new designers coming to Japan. The article was all in Japanese and all about Foxy…pretty neat!
