LANTERN GLOW

There's something about Japanese designers. They're almost anti-trend, and because of that, their designs are timeless. Their creations may not always be the most wearable, or the most flattering, but if you are looking for inventive cuts and styles, you won't be disappointed by them. Every time I visit Japan, I will pop by Pleats Please by Issey Miyake. I've noticed that in Japan, the Pleats Please line is usually worn by the more mature ladies. It thus feels slightly awkward to enter a Pleats Please store, but I know that I can almost always find something I like there. Furthermore, Pleats Please is priced at a lower level than the main line, so it's also healthier for my wallet! It's ultimately up to an individual to bring out the beauty of a piece of clothing, don't you think so? I love the vibrant and fiery colors of this Pleats Please top, not to mention the unique cutting that adds an architectural feel to it. The high waisted pants are from Yohji Yamamoto, and in my opinion, quite simply a classic piece.

Last but not least, Happy Mid Autumn Festival!
