H.NAOTO COLLABORATION: CNNGO & SEBASTIANO SERAFINI セバスティアーノ セラフィニー. NAOTO SIXH MENS FASHION, ELEGANT GOTH ARISTOCRAT.
I’ve been hinting about an epic h.NAOTO collaboration and increased men’s fashion coverage… At long last, all can be revealed!
Sebastiano Serafini ( セバスティアーノ セラフィニー ) and I have been working hard on a Male Winter Fashion feature for CNNGo. We partnered with h.NAOTO to bring you these photos, which Seba styled and modeled.
Sixh’s dark vampire designs are otherworldy. I interviewed designer Hirooka Naoto, who explained: “This coordinate is a combination of Visual Mode and Gothic.”
These h.NAOTO Cat Mint photos are possibly my favorite (can anyone say kawaii??). I love the kitty mascot and Seba’s poses.
In addition to h.NAOTO, Seba collected clothing from various brands that he models for. In this one, he’s modeling RJ 1959 jewelry and a Stand Up! The Fragile top.
Everyone in the Spooky Friendship Club has the Mark of Satan written somewhere on their bodies. This look is from the Toni and Guy hair show, where Sebastiano walked the runway.
Those of you who enjoyed my Cutie Frash photos might like Ku-Fu, a new brand that reconstructs clothes from vintage kimonos.
Wait, don’t go anywhere! There are more photos — including Blablahospital, G-star, True Religion, Blxxkk — in our CNNGo article about men’s winter fashion. Please read it here. We’d appreciate it if you rated and shared it!
Are you surprised by our h.NAOTO collaboration? Do you think it turned out well? Please feel free to leave us questions and feedback in the comments.

PHOTOS FROM AKIHABARA, TOKYO: OTAKU NERD HEAVEN. JAPANESE MAID CAFES, FIGURINES, CUTE SEXY GIRL DVDS.
My business, La Carmina & The Pirates, offers a number of services (TV hosting, arranging, consulting, promoting)… Recently, Naomi and I have been organizing personal tours for visitors to Tokyo, Japan. Or, to be exact, we’ve been sending our Cabin Boys (aka young slaves) to do our bidding. Seba is currently entertaining a famous TV host you’ll all recognize… we can’t spill the beans yet, but check back soon!
Most of our clients want to visit Akihabara, the otaku / electronics district. I don’t usually hang out there (we Goths stick to Kabuki-cho), but I visited many of the maid cafes for my Theme Restaurants book.
Akiba is called Electric Town for a reason. Everywhere you turn, there are bright cartoon girls busting out of tiny outfits.
The district is filled with electronic and game centers.
There are dozens of maid cafes in this area, and shops for buying cosplay outfits.
Naughty toys and DVDs? Not hard to find.
Here’s a sign from inside the Miko-san (Shinto temple girls) maid cafe that now closed down. You can see more photos of the cute girls in this post and in the Theme Restaurants category of my blog.
Hungry for more? You’ll have to flip through my book, Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo, which has full-color photos and stories from the best Tokyo maid cafes.
Anyone have plans to visit Japan in the near future? What would you most like to see? You can hire a Pirate to take you around!
PS: My latest Lip Service Global Gothic column is out. I write about Tokyo’s best Christmas Goth parties this year, and the dark fashion you can expect to see.
