About the author of this Japan blog

“From the USA, Washington State. I was attracted to the unusual idea of an American studying in Tokyo and came in 2004, later graduating from the the world’s 2nd-ranked fashion school, Bunka Fashion College.
I currently am a fashion editor/journalist/translator for such media houses as The Japan Times, VOGUE Girl, Numero TOKYO, Kyodo News, Visa Style Guide, RACKED, Superfuture and TRANOI Magazine. On top of this, I update almost daily at my blog TokyoFashionDiaries.com, making there never be a day I don’t writesomething about fashion.

I am often called “Lady Gaga” due to my penchant for hats and creative fashion, but I owe my style eye to Isabella Blow, my alpha icon for always and ever. My unique taste has gotten me jobs as stylist, where I have created and styled costumes for musicians’ music videos, actresses such as Rinko Kikuchi, and brand catalogs as well. I also take commissions in art/creative direction and design collaborations. I often see myself going more in this direction in the future.
I wear many hats, both literally and figuratively, and Tokyo is the perfect home to realize my aspirations.”
