STYLE BUZZ: Lately there has been a proliferation of wacky underwear coming out of Japan. There is a anti-smoking bra, a chopsticks bra, and men’s underwear that read “‘kiss me deadly, crap me deadly, caress me deadly”. My favorite is the bra that doubles as an eco-friendly shopping bag.

STYLE BUZZ: Japanese art director Nagi Noda’s synthetic hair animal hats come shaped like rabbits, poodles, and owls, and will be used in Bjork’s upcoming tour. If Bjork can succeed in bringing these into mainstream fashion, she’ll prove that she’s still got it. I just finished watching the video for “Human Behaviour” for some 1990’s nostalgia.
