Hello!
I'm Miu... I'm part of Azone's new EX☆CUTE collection
Animals of the Forest
We're girls who wear "Mori" style clothing :)
What?! You don't know what Mori is?!
Well...
"Mori Girl fashion recently emerged in 2007 in Japan. Mori means "forest"
in Japanese, and the style concept is "a girl who looks like she is
living in the forest" The look is natural & earthy. The fictional
archetype was declared as being the character of Hagu from Honey &
Clover. The actual archetype of Mori Girl fashion is the actress Yuu
Aoi, who as a matter of fact played Hagu in the Honey & Clover movie
in 2006. Mori girl has developed not only as a style, but as a
lifestyle as well! Quirky girls who love vintage clothing, pocket
watches, tea, moss or going snooping in the grandma's attic will feel
right at home in this fashion style. Although mori girl is natural, it
does not mean it is simple! Mori girl does have a little bit of
complexity to it."
This excerpt was taken from WikiHow's "How to be a Mori Girl" which you can read all of here:
So pretty <3 I wish to have a neemo girl this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly means [EX CUTE] ?
Ex Cute is how they describe all the girls from one class at the Middle School they attend :)
DeleteThe Ex Cute girls are: Koron, Aika, Himeno, Miu, Lien, Raili and Chiika
Then there are the Ex Cute relatives (usually younger sisters and brothers): Chisa, Nina, Aoto, Sera, Mia, Yuuta and their teacher, Ms. Minami
THEN there is the Sahra A La Mode group of friends, which includes: Sahra, Maya, Alisa, Lycee and Yuzuha
Hopefully that made sense!!!
Sounds like mori girl fashion and the recycle/upcycle fashion movement have a lot in common. Miu looks like a sweet, gentle addition to your family.
ReplyDeleteDerelicte?

But yeah... they do seem to have a very "grandmotherly" clothing feel to the style.
Love your new little girl. Hmmm, I learned something new today about mori fashions.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I find a lot of people aren't familiar with Mori... so when I say, "Oh, it's Mori style!" they're like... "Huh?" hehe.
