New York African Fashion Week

I participated New York African Fashion Week.
The show was hold at Broad Street Ballroom in Financial District.
It was really exciting experience to me.
There are many fashion designers, stylist, make up artists in the back stage.
I was happy to be a part of the show.

After talking with a model at back stage, I saw the show from audience side and I found the model with my jewelry and she was walking on the shiny runway.
It was really beautiful with righting.I was really impressed with the scenery.


Thank you for every body who met at the show!

Jewelry Meets Flowers - Jewelry and Flower show -

On June 19th and 20th, I had a jewelry and flower exhibition at The Coal Shop Gallery in Brooklyn.
It was my first show in New York.
This show was a collaboration with my mother who is an Ikebana artist (Japanese floral designer).

In this show, I didn't use any torsos, instead I hung my jewelry on branches and leaves.
Because my jewelry is inspired by nature, this display style was a perfect match.
It looks like my jewelry is part of nature.

At the show, I displayed my new bone collection on exhibit. This is the 4 rib spine bracelet.

During the opening reception, we had a wonderful performance by
a street performer who stopped by the show. At the opening reception party, he played an Australian music instrument called the didjeridu.
