DESIGNER AUTHOR BLOGGER >> HARAJUKU GOTHIC LOLITA ROCOCO PUNK >> http://www.lacarmina.com
My life revolves around wild Tokyo subcultures and style, especially the morbid-meets-adorable Gothic Lolita. I write kitschy-cute books, design neo-Rococo outerwear, and blog obsessively about my earless cat...
† DESIGNER † I design garments inspired by Tokyo Gothic Lolita, Tim Burton films, Victorian mourning, and Rococo/Versailles.
† AUTHOR (illustrator † photographer of 3 books)
Coming out this year: two fun J-pop books from Perigee/Penguin USA and Mark Batty Publisher.
CUTE YUMMY TIME (Perigee/Penguin, Oct 09) is a “kawaii” (think Hello Kitty) cookbook that brings the recent trend of personified bento boxes to an American palate. It features four-color photos and my adorable anime drawings. Major US cities book tour, appearance on Weekend Today Show.
CRAZY, WACKY THEME RESTAURANTS (Mark Batty, July 09) is an eye-popping tour of Tokyo's kitschiest theme restaurants. This hardcover will be packed with my color photography.
I contribute articles on pop culture oddities to CNNGo - an Asia culture/lifestyle/travel/awesome website launched by CNN. http://www.cnngo.com
I'm repped by NYC literary agency Levine Greenberg, home to Chuck Klosterman and The Onion.
† BLOGGER † I started a Gothic Lolita/J-pop fashion blog in Sept 07 that has grown to 2 million hits per month. My site has been featured in The New Yorker, Time Out NY, LA Weekly, Women's Wear Daily, and other major publications (see the Press section of my site for more).
In October 09, I was flown to Tokyo to co-host an episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World show on Travel Channel.
