We already told you about Sanrio Foundation, the charity founded with the purpose of raising funds to help children in need. Their latest collaboration is the one with Nooka and Love Through Design, which produced a special limited edition wristwatch (only 300 pieces!) with the distinctive designs by Simone Legno, creator of Tokidoki. The Zub Zirc 38, this is its “code name”, was created to help Emergency, the association that has been working for years in the hospitals of the poorest countries to guarantee everyone the right to medical care.

Events: Fashion Walk and talk on Japanese street styles in Udine
And after the Teacup, here we are to tell you about another event related to Japanese fashion in Italy! As we mentioned recently, in late April there was in Udine a day entirely dedicated to Eastern street styles. To tell us about the event, our friend Deborah/Ray, who sent us her chronicle of the Fashion Walk and the conference that followed. Of course, we thank her for taking her time to write the post you are about to read. Additional thanks to Christian Pellegrin, which allowed us to use his photographs (you can see much more on his Flickr page).
