[Japan Society Event!] The J-Pop Influence: A Western Obsession

Next week Tuesday October 12th I'll be attending a lecture at the Japan Society - The Jpop Influence: A Western Obsession. There are two reasons I'm really excited to attend the lecture:

1. Two weeks ago I blogged about Japanese Inspired Brands and ever since then it's been heavily on the brain. Plus with THE CULTYARD at NYCC this weekend, it is the perfect follow up event.
2. SIMONE LEGNO IS GOING TO BE THERE!! Yes the man behind all the tokidoki genius! *Hyperventilation* Excitement! 

Here's a little description of the event:

The Japanese aesthetic, specifically pop culture and contemporary design, has influenced many Western designers in recent years. Simone Legno, creator, Tokidoki; and Matthew Waldman, Chief Creative Officer & President, Nooka, Inc. share their love of Japanese pop culture and discuss how modern Japan has influenced the design of their clothing, accessories, watches and toys.

So here's a recap of all necessary info!
WHERE: Japan Society 333 East 47th Street
WHEN: Tuesday October 12th at 6:30PM
PRICE:  Tickets are $12 for non-members and $8 for students, seniors, and members!
Click the event link above for more info or to purchase your tickets.

If there was ever a better time to splurge on a tokidoki tee, now would be it - I'd love to get an autograph <3 All tokidoki obsession aside, I'm excited to hear what Mr. Legno and Mr. Waldman have to say. I think this is indeed an interesting topic!

Hope I bump shoulders with you guys at NYCC this weekend or at the lecture!

Till next time Tenoli lovers!~
