<blockquote class="tr_bq">
La moda giapponese si presenta ai più come uno spettacolo di teatro Kabuki: chiassosa, esagerata ed incomprensibile. Questo è il messaggio che le famigerate Harajuku Girls passano, quasi con aria di sfida, ad un Occidentale che ancora ama stupirsi di fronte alle stranezze Made in Japan. Spesso si ricordano i grandi nomi nipponici della moda, come Rei Kawakubo e Issey Miyake, mentre meritevoli stilisti emergenti restano purtroppo ancora ignoti al grande pubblico. Ponte tra tradizione e modernità, la moda giapponese accetta il suo passato per affrontare con grinta il futuro, in linea con lo spirito nipponico che con grande coraggio riesce a superare anche i momenti più tragici, ultimo tra i quali il Terremoto di Tohoku. Tessuti che richiamano la ricchezza di preziosi Kimono, tagli concettuali che invocano una profonda austerità, propria della cultura giapponese, che però ben volentieri si sposa con innovazione ed high-tech. Mai scontata, sempre sconvolgente, questa è la moda giapponese.</blockquote>

But, before that, I'll be spending about 10 days in Munich and experience for the first time the mayhem of Octoberfest. Wish me good luck.
<br />Anyway, the following pictures perfectly express what I'll be expecting from this autumn: city life and mod, a LOT of mod.
<br />Furthermore, Karlie Kloss styled by Giovanna Battaglia equals perfection. Pictures as seen on VOGUE Japan September 2011.

A new pair of shoes! <div><br /></div><div>A few weeks ago I designed a pair of ankle booties on <a href="http://shoesofprey.jp/" target="_blank">Shoes of Prey</a>, a website that allows costumers find their perfect order-made pair of shoes. It's great for those girls like me, who are always looking for the perfect pair of shoes but can never ever find anything near what they have in mind. I'm absolutely picky when it comes to shoes, as I pay way too much attention to material, design, particulars, comfort and so on. I don't buy too many shoes because it's quite hard for me to find shoes that actually meet my standards but I was pleasantly surprised by Shoes of Prey.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's the design... </div><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/Risu_chan/Tokyo%20Quadrille/Untitled-4.jpg" alt="ankle, booties, shoes of prey, leopard, heels, shoes" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hair - Leopard, Suede - Black, 8.8cm Heel</div><div><br /></div>And here's what I got! Sweet, right?</div><div><br /><img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/Risu_chan/Tokyo%20Quadrille/DSC_0498.jpg" alt="ankle, booties, shoes of prey, leopard, heels, shoes" /><br />Tatami mats and leopard shoes. Yeah.<br /></div><div><br /><img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/Risu_chan/Tokyo%20Quadrille/DSC_0504.jpg" alt="bankle, booties, shoes of prey, leopard, heels, shoes" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/Risu_chan/Tokyo%20Quadrille/DSC_0509.jpg" alt="ankle, booties, shoes of prey, leopard, heels, shoes" /></div><div><br /></div><div>The shoes came in a sleek black box, containing a dust bag, paddings and two types of heel cushions and a picture of the shoes I designed. I love how Shoes of Prey wants their shoes to be as comfortable as possible and perfectly fit the costumer's feet, as you can also specify wether your feet is on the wide side. </div><div>The quality of the shoes is really nice and they seem to be really easy to walk in, as the heel is not too high (I chose a 8.8cm height, but you can get taller heels as well) and the platform makes things even better. Another bonus point is that Shoes of Prey only uses genuine leather, which is just the best for your feet. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, let's talk about the design itself. I am a big animalier fanatic, and as it seems that the whole trend won't fade anytime soon, I chose to use a leopard print for my shoes. I imagined myself wearing those shoes paired with a simple, possibly monocolor, outfit so the leopard print would pop and define my style. </div><div><br /></div><div>Check <a href="http://shoesofprey.jp/" target="_blank">Shoes of Prey</a> website out and design your own, unique dream shoes, and fell in love like I did with my leopard ankle booties.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-37023807801544270352011-06-30T11:15:00.004+09:002011-06-30T11:57:29.811+09:00Snap snap I'm snapping at you.It's summer here in Tokyo. Me and my fellow Tokyo people are battling the horrible humid summer heat. Looking good in such a weather is quite a challenge, but we still manage to be fab all the time. However, my bangs (yes, I got bangs back in Italy) become quite disgusting from time to time, but no worries, nothing that a shower cannot fix. Showering is the big thing, this summer. hehe.<br /><br />I've purchased this lovely Cacharel for UNIQLO t-shirt a couple days ago. The print was just screaming my name, I had to get it. I'm all about bold prints lately.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/905/588475050452c1d70230z.jpg" alt="Alice" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Picture taken by mighty MARIE <a href="http://tokyochile.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">[BLOG]</a><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3592/tshirt2uniqlocacharel61.jpg" alt="Alice" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.be.com/jude/blog/be-there-35635/amor-amor-anais-anais-cacharel-eden-feminins-floral-motifs-pop-noa-scarlett-uniqlo-618326.html" target="_blank">Via be.com</a></div><br /><br />By the way, make sure to check out my VOGUE Japan blog, Marie and I have been taking fashion snaps around our university, Waseda University. We are taking snaps of Japanese and International students, boys&girls. I'm really enjoying this experience, as it's quite refreshing for me to focus on street fashion from time to time. I do love high fashion, but as a 20-something student without a steady income I can easily relate to street fashion. BUT, I'm a dreamer, and my dreams are made of Chanel and Alexander McQueen (old school McQueen, thx).<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.talk.vogue.co.jp/alice/archives/3742916.html" target="_blank">WASEDA GIRLS fashion snaps Part 1</a><br /><a href="http://blog.talk.vogue.co.jp/alice/archives/3672837.html" target="_blank">WASEDA BOYS fashion snaps Part 1</a>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-22370448250367529582011-04-08T18:19:00.003+09:002011-04-08T18:32:30.905+09:00Gyaru Anna<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 611px; height: 397px;" src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3070/pradafur.jpg" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://jakandjil.com/">via Jak&Jil Blog</a><br /></div><br />Anytime I see this AdR picture I think of those gals who walk the streets of Shibuya, and their phone charms.

Truth is that I'm not, but I still believe that everybody should be obsessed with YSL in general.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/281/yslopium.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">When I was a kid I used to be fascinated by Opium, the Yves Saint Laurent iconic scent. Kiddo Alice would run to the bathroom and smuggle some Opium. That big, bold and exotic looking flask was just too attractive to me. I still remember holding it. And perhaps spraying it on my clothes feeling like the fairest of the ladies under the mannish bob I had to keep for many years. Back then, I could have been disguised as a boy, an incredibly handsome boy, but still a boy. I had a decent collection of miniature perfumes and samples. Lots of shapes and scents, that kept me busy for many hours. Sometimes I used them to "wash" the bathroom: every tile with a different perfume, resulting in a nauseous smell. But then, there it was. Winking at me in all its glory. Someday the perfume was over and the flask finally gone. The thought of the scent itself was gone as well, and I grew up and forgot about Opium and its world.<br />But, out of nowhere, the memory of Opium is back, and once in a while I know what to buy for my mother, who was patient enough to let me waste her perfume when I was a kid. Still, I don't feel like calling it "a total waste", since it gave me so much, even though I cannot say what I gained from years of sniffing Opium. And yes, I'm talking about the perfume, you silly!<br /><br />On a side note for my future partner in crime that I have yet to meet: I demand a flask of Opium for my 30th birthday. I will be ready for it, then. To quote BRITNEY SPEARS (Yes, I just did it), I'm not a girl not yet a woman. I'll be a woman the day I'll be wearing Opium.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Pic via <a href="http://stsfragrance.com"><span class="rg_ctlv"><span id="rg_hr">stsfragrance.com</span></span></a><br /><br /></div></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-65671703791109719002011-03-05T07:07:00.003+09:002011-03-05T07:20:54.582+09:00YSL Manifesto 2011If you are lucky enough to be in one of the following cities, New York, Milano, Paris, London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles or Tokyo, make sure to grab your copy of Yves Saint Laurent, which will be distribuited an original tote bag.

Obviously I said yes, and here I am, a VOGUEtte blogger for Vogue Japan's online portal. I believe this experience will be really rewarding and exciting for me, I still don't know why they choose me.

It's a great vintage piece, a Moschino Haute Cuture jacket from the 80's. I cannot take any credit for this awesome thrift, since I just stole it from my friend... She tried it on, and was too big for her. "Hey, mind if I try it on?". And there I am, with a jacket that compliments my curves (euphemism) and looks great on. I need to take a nice outfit picture featuring this baby.<br /><br />That's all folks, hope to see you on my Style Blog for Vogue, but keep checking Tokyo Quadrille, my little treasure~ Ah, I love blogs way too much.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-56014630503806133422010-10-24T00:36:00.004+09:002010-10-24T14:49:17.499+09:00Ready to wear FF 2010 H A I RSo... I had my hair cut the other day and felt inspired enough to post something related today.<br />Those hair styles are from the ready-to-wear show FF 2010. Pictures from <a href="http://style.com">Style.com<br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/neri.jpg" img="" /><br />I love love black hair, but I never had enough nerve to go fully black. Well, one time I dyed it black, but it wasn't permanent so I guess it doesn't count.<br />Tao looks extremely cute in her mushroom cut. It's so Tao.<br />Agyness as usual looks adorable in her trademark (??) hair-cut. My friend Ayana had a similar style, and I totally love it. Too bad she had her hair cut again~ Ayana go back to the Agyness cut please!<br />The Chanel style was indeed bigfoot style, but hey, we did not forget that yeti parade.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/marrone.jpg" img="" /><br />Sooo, braids for winter. Too bad EVERYONE got already bored with braids, since every fashionista, fashion blogger, and random person already showed off braids in every possible angle.<br />Miu Miu's two tone hair is indeed tempting cool and all, but I guess my hair looks like that when I'm to lazy to dye (or have it dyed) my hair for too long. And no, I'm not sure if I like some uber-popular fashion blogger's hair I won't name. There's a thin line between boho chic and lazy/borderline homeless.<br />Freja hair for Chloe' is HOT. And this time I really mean it. I should get a similar hair-cut/perm, since the shape of my face is pretty Freja-ish when I slim down. To bad now I can roll around instead of walking. Ha.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/biondi.jpg" img="" /><br />Blonde is pretty.<br />Should I join the Barbies or stay by the Dark Side of the Power?<br />I heard they have cookies.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Ok, I just realized this post makes no sense. Or no, wait. Maybe you can consider one of the above hair-styles when having your hair done?<br /></div></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-37005515087592230052010-10-21T17:39:00.003+09:002010-10-21T17:43:22.232+09:00You're sexy&gorgeous.<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7154/96979843.jpg" img="" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">via <a href="http://style.com">Style.com</a><br />Ferre' backstage Autum/Winter RTW 2010</span><br /><br />Word.<br />Every woman is sexy and gorgeous.<br />Yet sometimes we manage to forget it.<br /><br />Ladies, be strong.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-47013851080208459142010-10-15T23:47:00.005+09:002010-10-16T00:16:57.938+09:00First Day of SchoolLast Friday I had a very special meeting, but I will talk about it in detail in a week or so. Big news, who knows... he he he. I can only say I'm really excited!<br /><br />My friend Marie was nice enough to take some pictures of me with her new camera, so after a long time I can post some pictures of my outfit. Thank you dear!<br /><br /><br />The outfit itself is really simple, and it's loosely based on the uniforms editorial on November's Nippon Vogue. In Italian schools uniforms are not mandatory, and only a few schools actually uses them. I've always liked uniforms, not only because they are terribly cute, but also because students always look neat and tidy for school. I really like this trend, because finally I can wear a "uniform" out on the streets without looking like a complete weirdo. Note the lack of make-up, so not me hahah<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/su_1-1.jpg" img="" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> shirt n/a - sweater GAP (bf's) - skirt thrifted - shoes Fausta Moretti - bag bf's - criss cross necktie's pin Jiji (Maho no Takkyubin)<br /><br />Sadly I forgot to ask Marie to take better pictures of my criss cross necktie and the pin I used. It's such a pity because it was so cute!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/su_2.jpg" img="" /><br />I don't remember if I was running for real or just posing, but my face is hilarious so I decided to post this one, just for you to have a laugh at my funny face.<br /><br /><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/su_3.jpg" img="" /><br />My favorite photographer and dear friend, Marie.

People keep repeating "Less is more" like it was some kind of mantra, but when it comes to reality everybody looks the fancy clothes and crazy shoes. I've always been extremely picky with shoes. Those Chanel shoes are pure perfection expressed trough a clean and practical design. I can't really imagine my feet hurt when wearing platforms. I just noticed I pasted a pair of sleek leather boots in, without any platform under it, but it was just a reminder for me since those would be the perfect boots I've been hunting for ages. Not that I can afford them, but it's nice to know that THEY DO EXIST.<br />Platforms might scream 90's, but I do not care, even if I regard the 90's as a big disgrace to the humanity in its whole essence. Ok, I just wanted to exaggerate.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/chanel_a3.jpg" img="" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Original Artwork by Yazawa Ai, pictures from <a href="http://www.damagedsoul.net/nana/yazawa/gallery.html">here</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Those pictures come from the Japanese comic "Gokinjo Monogatari" by the mangaka Yazawa Ai.<br />Note the platform shoes and sandals. It's pretty funny, because whenever I find myself sketching shoes I only draw platform shoes, platform boots and platforsm sandals. Ha.<br />To be honest I do not read manga (excluding Ushijima-kun. Loan sharks, oh yes.), but I've always liked Yazawa's illustration and sense of style. Probably you've heard before of a manga/anime called "Nana". One of the two main characters, Nana, was a huge fan of the British designer Vivienne Westwood and could often be spotted wearing her rocking shoes and orbs were EVERYWHERE. My boyfriend bought the whole Nana manga collection in Japanese a while ago, but I still have to read it. My bad.<br /></div></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-43876758927400748962010-10-08T02:19:00.004+09:002010-10-08T02:35:23.656+09:00Back to Paris<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/hermes0.jpg" img="" /><br /></div> Fashion Show pictures Style.com - Collage by me<br /><br />It's late, I should be already sleeping because tomorrow it's going to be a pretty intense and hopefully worthwile day (and big news may follow, hehe).<br />But... I HAD to give birth to this post, because Hermès just left me speechless. Jean Paul, you do deserve my unconditioned love for this. I should write something about his label as well, but as for now, I'm all about Hermès ss11.<br />Dusty gunfighters and masked avengers wrapped in leather, oh yes. Everything was so much Back to the Future Part 3, Wild Wild West and Zorro.

Seeing him on campus was always a pleasure, because of his great taste in clothes and peculiar personality, which always remembered me of the fine young men I could admire on Take Ivy (and made me wonder if Ross had a DeLorean hidden somewhere). This World, and Waseda University in particular, needs more refined people like Ross (and with the SAME taste in shoes, please).Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-10907802357589252542010-10-01T21:38:00.004+09:002010-10-01T22:39:26.589+09:00Jil Sanders x UNIQLO<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Open the future</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Luxury will be semplicity.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Purity in design, beauty and comfort for all.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Quality for the people.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Basics are the common language.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The future is here: +J</span><br /><br />A new collaboration between the Japanese UNIQLO and the German designer Jil Sander, in the name of democratic luxury.

I loved to mix and match those little clothes made of paper and find endless combinations. It was such a fascinating game for me. Years later I started playing around with the so-called Kiss Dolls. A Kiss Dolls is basically a </span><span class="googie_link">paperdoll</span><span> made of pixels. At the time I used to draw dolls in pixel all the time, and one of my dreams was to build my own Kiss Doll, but the programming part has always scared me to death. I hate programming, yes I do. Today, while lazily browsing HeM I found out their "Fashion Studio", a clever evolution of </span><span class="googie_link">paperdolls</span><span>, which also simplifies the whole shopping-process.<br /><br />These are some of my pics, something I would wear for the upcoming fall.

I met Yasu during my first year at Waseda, during an architecture class. You know when you see someone and then you wish you could be friends with them? Something like that happened with him. I don't really remember how we started talking, but I knew we would eventually become friends. Yasu then introduced me to Ayana, since the three of us (plus another energetic friend, Chi-chan) were taking the same class, about the discovery and research of Dinosaurs. Call me random.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/yasu.jpg" img="" /><br />Yasu is always smiling, and his style is often colorful and ironic. His signature garment? Denim vests. Yasu also owns a special denim vest, painted on the back by one of his friends. Yasu is also a music lover, and sometimes a DJ.<br />Yasu's blog: <a href="http://nippon-no-ningen.blogspot.com/">NIPPON NO NINGEN</a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj103/koakuma_arisu/TQ/ayana.jpg" img="" /><br />Ayana is a graceful young Japanese woman. Her style is incredibly neat and harmonious. She has a preference for stripes, possibly in navy blue or red. Ayana's hair is always nice, and this haircut is so lovely and looks great on her.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-33985512645463525032010-07-30T02:38:00.003+09:002010-07-30T02:54:32.878+09:00VOGUE.talkI'm finally done with all my exams, papers and Japanese tests. Feels good, feels like summer. I will be back in Europe in a few days, after a brief stop in Abu Dhabi.

I have been busy watchin Spice Girls' videos. I could do some shopping, and it's bad to say something like this, but... God bless the economic crisis.

I still hope that the Euro exchange rate will get better, tho.<br /><br />Switching to another topic, now.<br /><br />What if only people interested in FASHION were allowed on Facebook. What if all the groups on Facebook were fashion related. What if... there's no what if, for us Japanese speaking people, now.<br />VOGUE NIPPON created a new SNS, for Voguettes around the Japanese archipelago. I am having so much fun on that website, and I really hope it will grow and become a bigger comunity.<br />So, if you speak Japanese, <a href="http://sns.talk.vogue.co.jp/">VOGUE.talk</a> is the place to go!Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18081673288096251685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148167150940533060.post-71951484691148172162010-07-06T23:34:00.003+09:002010-07-06T23:49:43.949+09:00Tokyo Sweets Factory Third Anniversary PartyToday I went with the adorable <a href="http://emikusano.blogspot.com/">Emi</a> to <a href="http://www.transit-web.com/service/factory/sweets/index.html">Tokyo Sweets Factory</a>'s Thirs Anniversary Party.
