A few years ago a certain mademoiselle named Yulia stated popping up more and more frequently on the Tokyo electro scene and in the street fashion press like FRUiTS. Her perfect blue or purple bob is now ubiquitous, and she has found herself with a menagerie of job titles … Between recording and doing live DJ/MC/singing performances, running her accessory label GIZA, writing for her blog Honeyee and her column in NYLON Japan, VJing on her TV show
Madomoworld and generally making the scene on Tokyo’s underground club circuit, Mademoiselle Yulia will be joining us for a live performance at our Big In Japan event in December, and she kindly took the time out for a quick Q&A …
How is the Japanese fashion culture unique?
There are quite a few, including myself, who are affected by New York. I think that Japanese fashion is very hybrid, mixed
with various cultures including the Japanese one. Interest in fashion is very high, and in this sense we should be aware of style when walking in Tokyo’s streets.
How would you describe your own style?
Hmm… I just wear whatever I want. Most important to me is that I enjoy the clothes I am wearing.
What is your favourite Japanese label?
Comme des Garcons
Your favorite place to shop in Tokyo?
Faline Tokyo
And your favourite club?
Trump Room
What are you working on at the moment?
I just put out my second mix tape NEON SPREAD 2 featuring my original track Touch Me, and I’m coming to Sydney to party with you guys in December!
Is there a schedule for Big in Japan in Sydney?
How can I see these great shows?
