Wish they all could be Cafe Soso girls

Yuki Murakami's photos of girls in the Cafe Soso, Sapporo, Hokkaido, posted on the Shift Magazine site, are much more inspiring than anything to be seen on the streets of Tokyo right now, or at least the photos on Tokyo Street Style.
This is probably because of Yuki's eye, and the fact that Cafe Soso is a highly targeted place, a magnet for people interested in visual creativity. Apart from being a great cafe with great music, it's also a bookshop, a design magazine and a lending library specialised in art, architecture and design.
I also find the Cafe Soso girls much nicer looking and nicer looking than the snooty, furry, tailored, high-heeled, over-made-up models currently to be seen at London Fashion Week. You know, how many animals died for you and just how bored are you to be here?

Date: 2005-02-16 08:21 am (UTC)i don't even check the tokyo street fashion and jfashion websites any longer.it was such a pain for me to sit there and click through all the boring people to find one interesting person...
london fashion week looks incredibly boring..
i only dig out there designers like bernhard willhelm who just makes the ugliest most tacky clothes.

Personally, I'd rather not see any more small woodland creatures poached so that some emaciated model's back won't be cold when she walks from her plush apartment to her trendy nightspots for cocaine and dancing.

Date: 2005-02-16 05:13 pm (UTC)Yes, but that doesn't mean that they are, or, indeed, that they are. And how American these Cafe Soso women dress.
