IMPRINT

Long time no see! 

It’s been a while since the zine has sold but we still have only a few items left over. The plan was to donate to The Trevor Project after all sales had concluded which will hopefully be soon. So far we have gathered just short of $400 to go to the charity!

Pin I designed for @imprintzine!

 Shiki and Mr. Mew cosplaying their Squeenix neighbors hahaha :’) 

This is my full article for the twewy @imprintzine!!! There’s still digital copies available of the full zine, and some merch left too!!! It was a blast to write and work with the other participants!

If you like this and wanna chat with me about it hit me up here or in my twewy discord!!!

NEW CREATORS SPOTLIGHT

Hello again readers, and welcome to this month’s New Creator Spotlight! We find up-and-coming artists of all types to highlight! From fashion, music, and art, we know how to find the hidden talent in Shibuya and illuminate them all for you to see!

Mr. Mew Creations

First up is Mr. Mew Creations, a new fashion brand led by the fabulous Eri and Shiki Misaki. This duo has taken the fashion scene by storm with their innovative ideas and inspiring designs. From dresses to bright three-piece suits, these two push the boundaries of how we define outfits.

The star of their debut collection is a marvelous dress suit! It’s a dress, and a suit, combined into one! The top half is styled as a silken tuxedo jacket in bold fuchsia, with a pale lavender undershirt and iridescent pearl buttons. The bottom half, however, is a skirt designed to evoke the image of an elegant ball gown. The slip is comfortable enough to wear all day, while providing a backing to the outermost layer, which is a cascade of feathers dyed a stunning cobalt blue.

They have a myriad of other pieces in this lineup, going beyond the binary while staying fashionable and comfortable. From a simple purple shirt with embroidered orange foxes along the hem, to a yellow sweater with a detailed pink squirrel on the front, there’s a wide variety to choose from!

We sat down with the girls for an interview in their studio to talk about their threads, and they had a lot to say!

Thank you for interviewing with us. Could you both introduce yourselves for our readers?

Eri: Yeah sure! Thank you for interviewing us! I’m Eri, the lead designer of our two-person team, Mr. Mew Creations! I do most of the conceptual work, putting ideas down on paper and seeing where that gets us. Shiki definitely helps with that, but her talent shines in, well– She can tell you!

Shiki: Hah, yeah! I’m Shiki Misaki! I’m the seamstress, so I made all the outfits you can see here in our workspace! Taking what Eri gives me, I bring our ideas to life! We’re both good in each other’s field, but together it feels like we’re unstoppable. She’s handed me some amazing designs to work with, and some I never thought I’d be able to turn into reality. The star of our show, the dress, was one of those. It almost ended up in the trash on more than one occasion, actually. We had to completely redesign it multiple times because we’re both perfectionists, and because someone sees the laws of physics as a challenge to beat. Eri likes to see how far we can push things past their limits, but we work best together because I can reel her back in if it goes too far.

One of the three pieces I did for @imprintzine!! Here’s the full piece with close ups on Neku, Josh and little ‘easter egg’ type things in Neku’s work room.

Want some context? Read the article, Neku Sakuraba, that I drew this for! My other 2 pieces ALSO go along with Egg’s article piece, The Albatross, but I’ll upload those pieces in another post. c:

My @imprintzine came!!!!!!! It's absolutely beautiful!!!!!

This was a blast to work on, and I'm so happy I got picked as one of the writers! When I saw my article in here I bounced a lot!!!! Because those are!!!!! My words!!!!! I wrote those!!!!!!!

I just got my copy of @imprintzine and it's the most beautiful thing I own. I put the beat stickwr on my laptop and am yet unsure what to do with the rest but they will all find homes soon themselves.
