I went to NY the other day for some shootings and attended a cocktail party so it was a pretty busy trip but luckily, it was sunny the whole time!!!

There is a boutique called ”Kisan” in Soho and its owner, Olivier and Thorunn, invited me to a dinner at their house.

Their house was gorgeous!!! I enjoyed the dinner very much and had a wonderful time.
Thank you so much Olivier and Thorunn!!!!!!!

I had some time to walk around after the shooting and found a big painting of Popeye! I loved it so took a picture in front of it.

More stories about NY next time!!

I went to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice.

There was a unique red sculpture on the canal terrace and I still wonder what it is.

I like the quote on the wall of the café:
Changing Place
Changing Time
Changing Thoughts
Changing Future

The museum was very interesting.

Venice is famous for its glass.
I found a factory when I was walking around the city and the owner Marco showed me around!
Thank you my dear Marco!!

I brought back couple of Venetian glass accessories and plates as souvenirs.

I went to Italy right after the Paris Fashion Week to visit both the Mikam and the Mipel, which are tradeshows for footwear and leather accessories.

Since I was in Milan, I was planning on shopping at ”10 Corso Como” and found on the way a store with a cute display and TSUMORI CHISATO clothes on!! I was nicely surprised and got in to chat with the staff.

I also took a gondola ride in Venice and enjoyed the sightseeing through the narrow canals.

The city is very romantic and I felt like if I had a journey through time to the Middle Ages, when Marco Polo was alive.
In the last picture you can see the Santa Maria Della Salute basilica far away.

I really enjoyed this beautiful city!!

The picture below is the Eiffel Tower: it was so brightly lit!

The preparation for the show was pretty hard and I’m glad that it ended nicely.
Now I already need to work on my next show!
Wish me luck!

I just came back from Paris last week!
It’s getting very warm and it feels like Spring has come.

I’d like to share with you some pictures of my Paris show’s backstage.

The below picture was taken during the coordination check right before the show rehearsal.
Even at the last minute and when the show is about to begin, coordination check goes on…

Finally the show starts!
Models standing in line.

The mat rouge lips makes it very mysterious.
Thank you Uchiide san!!

One of my staff member, who used to work at the Paris office, visited me backstage with her mother.

Thank you for the gift Fang-Fang!!!
