H.NAOTO FASHION SHOW, INTERVIEW: HANGRY & ANGRY DESIGNER GASHICON. HARAJUKU LATEST PUNK STREET STYLES, CUTE JAPANESE GIRL MODELS.
A few days before Halloween, h.NAOTO invited Naomi and me to the Hangry and Angry fashion show at the Heaven store in Harajuku. We wanted to share the exuberant presentation with you, so we took a million photos and videos. Keep reading… we hope you enjoy the kitty eye candy.
We interviewed Gashicon, designer of Hangry and Angry (the Japanese Goth Punk brand associated with h.NAOTO). She has a background as an illustrator, and while she works with Naoto-san, she creates all the art and clothing designs herself. What inspires her work? Why cats, and does she own any? Gashicon’s thoughts on Hello Kitty? Watch our video to find out…
You can see the interview, Hangry and Angry runway show, and h.NAOTO collection preview above and on YouTube.
Just like at the h.NAOTO Goth night, the guests dressed up in the spirit of the genki Gothic Punk brand. The giant Hangry and Angry mascots had difficulty walking down the wet staircase in the giant shoes… they lost their footing several times, and almost tumbled down!
Quite a few children came to the fashion presentation. The little girl in the pink Lolita dress stole the spotlight.
I wonder how much her cell phone weighs, with that giant kitty-clump of charms attached.
As you can see in our video, the Hangry and Angry runway presentation was a fun affair. No serious model-faces here. Instead, cute Japanese girls pranced around and posed to the B-52s!
h.NAOTO loves the synergy of fashion and music. The two male members of the Hangry and Angry band chased each other around the room.
Many of the models clutched cat dolls. I love the new monster-explosion line, and the striped-and-patched knee socks.
Which of the outfits do you like best?
Gashicon and her cat mascots ran out at the end of the show, and threw candy at the audience.
She thanked everyone for their support and bantered with the band.
Two of the models are from America, and were honored to be part of the show.
In our video, Naomi and I also give you a tour of the latest collections from Sixh and h.NAOTO.
It was a joy to meet Gashicon, and refreshing to watch a fashion show with playful spirit. What do you think of the latest Hangry & Angry clothing collection? You can see the models in action in our new video.
More h.NAOTO coverage and collaborations coming up… I’m glad you liked the photos of Sebastiano Serafini in Sixh.
PS: here’s the link to all the articles and photos about Sebastiano Serafini in Los Angeles.

Great video!!! I really love the music (obviously Hirooka grew up in similar time to me, heh). It shows, for those who can’t get there, what the store looks like, and also what the clothes look like up close. The interview was really cool too. Really excellent post!!

Oh man, the show looks like a total party. I loved it when the male models were chasing each other in the video. And the designs! I can’t wait for the day that they’re easier to access.
The Frankenstein-dress with the torn stockings and the “innards” plush is my favorite outfit. I’d wear that in the Toronto streets no problem!
hahah yeah, the innards outfit is genius :)
