summer rings

I have been made many rings with natural object.
I am always attracted by something original. nothing has been added or fixed.
Natural stone or sea creature are shaped by nature. They have path and story of their life.
They become the shape by crashing into something, curved little by little in water, or alter their appearance as it need in the environment.
Isn't it beautiful as what they are?

Retail Store Project MC²

This is my first project for last semester.
My client was MC² which is Italian men's sports wear company. The designer used to design car race suite jacket in Italy. He launched a casual sports wear line and open a store in NYC, on 5th avenue.
My concept was "speed of light in vacuum"which related to the line name MC²; from a famous formula E=mc², indicates that energy always exhibits mass in whatever form the energy takes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence

I wanted to create a space have feeling of speed. I got inspired from car shape, race track, light, and vacuumed space.
I wanted to do something crazy for real to explore my taste.

mini shoulder bag

like macha and sweet black beans. 

I found some nice sample fabrics in my trashy locker.  

I wanted to have some small shoulder bag i can carry just wallet and phone. 

it is not for summer  though.. might be for fall. 

long jacket for spring

using thin wool fabric. 

stitching roughly from outside. 

First, i made a mistake fir sizing and ended up with this front open jacket. 

I wanted to make overall short pants. It was too small.. 

So i cut the front and attached gold studs around the collar. 

Chelsea Gallery

I am taking model making class, and we always has competition over a cupcake. 

This time we designed gallery in Chelsea. 

It has been done in 2 hours. 

I played with repetition of geometric shape.

I realized I like to use triangles in my design a lot. 

 

I couldn't get a cupcake this time though. 

next time!!

Hood top & Dot short pants

I wanted to make cloth with hood.I found the way to make hood without sawing two pieces together. this top is one piece. nothing is attached. just 3 holes for arms and head. 

The dot short pants was inspired by Yayoi Kusama who is a famous artist as using dots. I saw her installation in Pittsburgh trip. It was something you never forget and it made me want to make dot pattern cloth. 

Nuts Madam

Today was such a nice day. 

I hang out with Yura and You. 

It was so fun and sweet time with them. 

You took us to the Italian taps place, Gottino in west village. 

We had coffee and free fresh nuts. 

It was so delicious! 

The Nuts Madam showed up after we ate them. 

I am going there again soon!! great place. 

Cony Island Aquarium

I fall in love with jelly fish.... 

I want to have them.  Can I? 

西の魔女の爪 "The Nail of Wicked Witch of the West"

My family's favorite film, Wizard Of OZ 

My mom's company name is Oz create Japan 

My dog's name is Toto, which is a dog in the film. 

We hardly notice what we are capable of or what we are good at by ourselves. 

When we get together and get something over, we have chance to know what we are and what we could. 

This is what the film told me. 

Natural black stone from Yura chan
