HeiHei
HEIHEI is a new street fashion company that recently caught my attention. There are four japanese designers, graduates of Bunka Fashion College(a fashion school in Tokyo), that make up the street style company HEIHEI. Each of the designers have individual collections that are made of bright, fun color combinations and patterns. Shohei Kato is the creator of Heihei. He said that his inspiration came from his childhood, when he played baseball. Something about this company was mesmerizing to me. It reminds me of the gangster look back in the early 2000's, you know, the baggy pants, shirts, and giant chains around their necks.

Dior Spring Summer Show 2015
Once I had seen this video I knew I had to write about Christian Dior. Dior is famous for its high waisted, broad-skirted, and feminine look. Christian Dior, the founder of Dior fashion house was one of those fashion designers who made his fortune by providing a style right after the World War II that refreshed its customers. During the war it was the style to conserve on everything, including fabric. Because of this, women wore minimal and simple clothing, if you wore something fancy you were counted as "unpatriotic." However, when Dior showed his clothing to the world, women began clambering for his look. Just the fabric length of one of Christian Dior's skirts were mile long.
For spring and summer this year, Dior has presented us with an ensemble of 70's looking outfits, complete with the bright abstract patterns. As expected, I see the classic high waist, full-skirted look throughout the collection. To add to the summer feel, Dior cut a sliver in the sides of the dresses, making them almost look like a crop top and and skirt. Interestingly, the shoes are vividly colored plastic boots. In fact some of the boots are ankle high, whereas others seem to go all the way up to the model's waist. All in all, I thought this was a wonderful collection. Then again, it is Christian Dior. I really cannot ever criticize that company because I love it so much.
