Peacock Perfect: Boutique Nicole at Tokyo Fashion Week

Kyoko Higa's collection for the Boutique Nicole during Tokyo Fashion Week reminded me of somewhat spooky, wide-eyed dolls I used to own as a child. The hair was a dramatic, extended version of the folk dancers I used see during trips to Europe. The clothing was a rich mix of dark jewel tones, feathers, fur and embellished motifs. The result was a collection of very pretty, edgy but wearable outifts that could actually still be flattering for many people.
