Akiko Takamura - The Press
I love Akiko's look. Brilliant haircut and what about those shoes WOW. Akiko works for online magazine
YSH London. A friend cut her hair -good friend to have and of course we all know the shoes are
Louboutin (well I did). I would love a pair of these for running around in. Akiko is originally from Japan but has been living in the UK for the last 6 years. She likes her style to be easy to wear. Smart yet relaxed with a little bit of punk. I would say that sums her up nicely. When I asked her to tell me something surprising about herself she told me she grew up in the countryside and loves to be there. She loves the quality of life. Today the rest of her outfit is made up of jacket from
Margiela, top from
Cos, trousers from a charity shop and bag from
Ebay. She told me she was a bargain hunter.
