Takuya Angel
Takuya Angel is probably the most iconic designer of the Harajuku look, his fashion ranges from pop to cybergoth to corsets and the production quality is impeccable. His outfits have been exhibited in museums all over the world, including the Victoria & Albert. Shot a box full of his beautiful gear @ the studio! Pic: kera! magazine model Kurebayashi and law student/ drummer Yamaronta playing pacman...for 3 hours...toooooo cute
