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!!

During the Paris fashin Week, Björk invited me to her concert and it was beautiful!
Thank you Bjork!!!

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!!!

The Spring-Summer 2013 items are now available in shops.

I took this picture while I was taking a walk near my house.
I drew couple of flowers on top and made an original print!

You can coordinate this colorful flower print pants with cardigans and knit tops.
I’m sure it would look cute!

This painting is inspired by a scenery I saw in Sedona.

The print is used in silk dresses and knits.

Also this printed cardigan was used in the first look of Paris collection!
