Tie-Dyed Oversized Shirts with Unique Vintage Styled Graphics

A Celebration of the Absurd and Awkward

Upcycled button-downs are my canvas. Shibori (Japanese tie-dye) is my design method. GAIJIN stories and details are printed and adhered to each piece.

In 2008, I created a poster of myself as Godzilla, destroying Tokyo. As a fourth-generation Japanese-American, I often felt like a destroyer of my own heritage—disconnected from the language, the customs, the roots. I give big Godzirra energy. I encourage all to give Big Godzirra Energy.

The GAIJIN collection is a depiction of that space in-between, those awkward moments all celebrated through an absurdity, sexiness, culturally rich and creative dynamic that can only be found here.

These earrings inspire ideas, curiosity and conversation.

They are a peak into your unique taste and artistic mind + soul.

For me, They represent a hyphenated life, Japanese-American. It is bluntly seen in the fan silhouette and the origami, rooted in my Japanese heritage. The artwork and illusion are based in my American experience, sense of humor, and nostalgia.
