More on cuteness:
I like all things kawaii, like artwork by Takeshi Murakami. So does Marc Jacobs apparently. Louis Vuitton is collaborating with Murakami next season to bring die-hard LV slaves some of that Japanese cutesy-fruitiness. I hope Shenzhen would be quick enough to whip out the knockoffs so I won't have to suffer from handbag envy.

Murakami's work isn't all about cutesy though. Some of his most sensational work,Mr. Lonesome Cowboy, Hiropan and P.Ko2, play on the sexual overcharge in manga and anime imagery. I like both for their pop art sensibility.
