Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is Idol Royalty

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is an 18 year-old fashion blogger and model who reached international fame after the release of her first promotional video, PON PON PON.  The video went viral.  MTV deemed it "One of the craziest videos ever!"  It hit the Japan's Billboard Hot 100 at number 72.  I was memorized by the song and video.  But I never pass judgement on a artist based on one single; it could very well be a fluke.  However, with her second PV she comes back at full strength.  Well, this may seem a bit toned down in comparison, but this single is not inspired by decora culture which in itself is wacky.  The title and the subject matter is a bit suspect.  She has a line of false eyelashes.  So am I surprised that fake eyelashes is in the title?  What I adore about her style is the sense of controlled chaos.  It isn't some overly cute fluff which is revealed in the details.  Her videos create a wonderland that is sweet yet mysterious.  She is definitely on my list of people to watch. 

AKB48 x Tokyo Girls Collection

Another collaboration! I'm not surprised that they appeared on the runway, but I wasn't expecting a whole show.  Usually Tomochin and Mariko appear in fashion shows.  I was surprised at who they selected.  It makes me wonder who had the most input.  I wouldn't peg Takamina as someone who the designers would pick, plus Acchan nor Mariko modeled.

What is in for the fall?  Those little basket bags are back.  The fur hats and fur vests.  High, over the knee boots are back and so are fun patterns.  One styling note I made was that they like to combine light feminine fabrics with military jackets and vests.  There is a continuation of the summer trend of one pieces.  

Update
