ELEMENT is an expression of the natural world and also of the artificial domain we create with our mind. Nature surrounds us and is considered separate but that great external enters through our eyes as we interrogate the forms, and build interior constructions. Perceptions of force and contours translate into patterns, which abstract further into organizational models and meaning. We see chance and predictability, we make philosophies and rationales - and what cannot be understood is marked by mystery and beauty.

We are as of the natural world butt from the fact of our existence we create stories and complex narratives to give other dimensions. the extenal becomes an even greater internal creative. 

 

geometric otaku...!?

 

幾何学は、その中に運動をはらむとき、大きく前進する。

静的で変化のない図ではなく、流動性をもったネットワークができるようなとき。

メッセージやデータをどのように読むか。

ネットワークの中ではそんな判断が繰り返される

（構造は結果の中にある。結果は無数にあり、構造もその数だけ生まれる）。

つながりやネットワークが成長するパターンの一部であるとき、幾何学は前進する。

動きが止まれば、幾何学は静的なものになる。

パターンは、型をつくって、規定する。

幾何学は、秩序によって、かたちをつくる。

構造は、関係をバランスさせて、築き上げる。

mmm interesting ... shapes and movements..!!

it was so good to know the ideas from buyers from different places "BEAMS" which is street fashion brand and "Hanshin Department store" which is more hi end fashion.
but I noticed that there are already too many ppl trying to do the same things as us which makes us the situation harder. what we can do is to have own theory, have identity. get to know as many/ different things as we can ever take. and figured it out and get deeper crazier ideas from there even.

seriously buyers they just stop to listen to us only 2 booths if there are 100 of them. they never have time for us but if we are cool/ lucky they will. and thats how everything will start!


I was telling this to my boss and she asked me to email everyone @work. they were just so happy to hear this. I was so lucky to get to know new ideas/info and shared with my bosses<3
sometimes everythings connected for some reasons!!lol

also, I was just super lucky to get to talk to the fashion director/ editor who has the office in Paris..
he was the chief editor of  装苑!!!!!!!  THE SOEN!!!! the most famous fashion magazines for designers/ creators! he even got to interview Rei Kawakudo from COMMDE des GARCONS.
無邪気さ、よく遊ぶ事！thats what he said.
also said that we can meet anyone by having fashion design business card- I never thought that way but it really is!
 got motivated a lot...talking to ppl who have the same dreams. ppl are just awesome..
mmmm great time!

and this year!!!  yeah!

Alo! 

Hi I'm Emma who does fashion design, graphic design, photography, editing, music, set design, translate, writing ... prettu much everything creative I enjoy. 

I was doing a blog before too but got lazzzy but everyone has been asking me what I do so no more lazy timelol! ill try! 

ok Ill write a litle bit about my life so far. Ive moved to many places... 

born in Hyogo, Japan, moved to Fukui, moved to Osaka, stayed in London, England a little bit, came back to Osaka, then moved to CA, USA, then came back to Osaka again..!

I was such a selfish kid but always the best artist in my class. spend a lot time drawing, painting, making things.

has been the tallest anywhere I go of course, very active, did so many stupid fun things.

belong to a tennis team in junior and high school, practicing every morning n after school.

stayed in London changed me a lot tho. I realized that there were so many things I had not experienced  which I really really wanted to. left the team, worked n studied crazy to study things I was really interested in which were English and Fashion/Art/ Culture.

still cannot believe  spending the time in CA for 4 years. 

 majored Fashion Design, attended some shows, interned @ St. John (women apparel) and Jannuzzi (kids clothing), worked  as an assistant designer @ CA apparel (women apparel). 

amazing that all my efforts I tried paid me back. such great experiences.     

so my main background is fashion!

have been working as a design/ production @ a bag company in Osaka now...still wanna do fashion tho. but at the same time I have been discovering more values in art. 

well then I noticed that I actually really really wanna express my visions in just anyways.

it can be fashion, music, words, facial expression, culture, letters, air, light, sound, wind, ocean, space...I'm still discovering but it'll be just amazing if I can do it w something non material even. 

I actually think that it officially should not be material things. I might sound too crazy to some ppl but art is considered as anything so..! hehe but yeah I hope you enjoy my blog and hope I can share some interesting info w you;) cheers <3
