made in girl. made in japan.

MIG (Made In Girl) is a free fashion magazine in Japan. Apparently while free fashion magazines in Tokyo are nothing new, MIG targets an artsy, specified market, boasting the magazine is "made for girls by girls". Below are some images from the first press.

Featured on the cover are Japanese twins, models, and TV personalities, Ami and Aya wearing cake hats.

ke$ha - the next lady gaga?

Is 22-year-old hipster singer Ke$ha (you know her tik tok song.. 'don't stop, make it pop. dj, blow my speakers up') the next pop fashion icon? While Lady Gaga rules as the current queen of the obscure fashion scene, Ke$ha has been continually recognized for her distinctly glam-rock style. Her style traits include feral bedhair, dark threads, and black leather.
