Glitter Machine, based in Vancouver Canada, specializes in body painting and alternative photography. Airbrushing literally gave me goosebumps, but what a stunning result.

All the way back in 2008, I wrote about Hyoma — a Hong Kong streetwear brand featuring a cute kitty. Three years later, I finally had the chance to pick up more items from this poppy designer.

Hyoma is found in the select shop, I.T. / Izzue (various locations in Hong Kong. The brand originated from Japan, as you can tell from the kawaii design.

Hyoma is all about bold, primary colors. While the clothes have a loose, urban feel, they are made with top-end fabrics.

The brand suits me and Seba very well, don’t you think? We both picked up a few things at Hyoma — you can see us wearing them during our Hong Kong nightwalk.
