HELLO, TOKYO
It’s easy to pinpoint the exact moment I fell in love with the incredible country that I now call home. My love for Japan began when I was sitting at my desk at Vogue Australia opening the morning mail. I started working at Vogue during a work experience program which, over the years, evolved into a full-time job at Vogue Living . I can clearly recall the day that a United Colours of Benetton catalogue came across my desk, shot in the Tokyo suburb of Harajuku, and photographed in the style of a street fashion magazine – it spotlighted the kawaii , or cute and colourful fashions of Tokyo’s youth. I was amazed by the quirkiness and the creative, playful style seen in Japanese fashion. I knew immediately that I needed to jump on a flight as soon as possible.
