At my work, in IVANAhelsinki, we get lots of Japanese turists visiting the shop all around the year. I always admire their sense of combining different styles, colours and textures together - I think they could wear a black plastic bag and still be able to look cool! And they are one of the nicest customers too. Arigato!
Here's some inspiring pictures that captured my eye.
The Brazilian psychedelic rock pioneers, Os Mutantes, are something worthwhile to check out. The band is formed by two brothers, Arnaldo and Sérgio Dia Baptista, and lead singer Rita Lee. They are linked with the oh-so-great Tropicalia movement in the late 60's. More about it later...
