Tokyo Fashion was on hand at Shojono Tomo's live art and fashion show. They made a video covering the event, and it was awesome!
Tomo's outfits were a more literal take on pop kei. The garments themselves were white, with pop art illustrations painted onto them in bright neon colors with bold black outlines and graphics. Models walked the runway with flamboyant props including large baby bottles containing Barbies and blow-up dolls.
To cap off the show, she painted a T-shirt that had been altered to fit two people. Using spray paint, paint bottles, and brushes, she painted an abstract design on the shirt while the models were wearing it, in a mock wedding ceremony.
An exhibition following the show displayed more of Tomo's artwork, including sculptures, illustrations, and large canvases.
It was definitely an inspration. :) I can't wait to see what she does next!
