What do Chanel, Fendi, Comme des Garcons, and Undercover have in common? A taste for the strikingly creative and astonishingly artistic hairdos of Katsuya Kamo- he’s known to throw in an avant-garde face mask covered with metal studs, or a giant rose that wraps around model’s heads down the runway too.

To the long list of these prestigious fashion houses and glossies such as Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, Dazed and Confused and Wallpaper* (not to mention a couple of pages in our book Style Deficit Disorder) clients, Katsuya is the wizard of creative coiffure. See the genius for yourself at the exhibition “100 HEADPIECES” at Laforet Harajuku through November 18- see his private collection of inspirational objects, a replica of his atelier, and the larger-than-life head pieces that evoke the stellar fashion moments they helped to etch in fashion history.

Bali born Heaven Tanudiredja studied at Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and since then has shown his ability to make jewelry that is absolutely…heavenly.

Aside from working on his eponymous label, launched in 2007, he has collaborated with a number of renowned fashion labels including Dior Couture, Iris Van Herpen, Juun J and Dries Van Noten. Futuristic, edgy yet super-elegant are a few words that describe the aesthetic, and the elements that have made The Reality Show go cray cray for him since the first season!

On Saturday we caught up with him at Dover Street Market Ginza, where he’s currently showcasing special pieces from the F/W 2013 collection “Mental Disorder”.

―Is this your first visit to Tokyo?

My grand mother is a Japanese so I used to come to Japan quite often but it’s been 10 years since I last visited.

―Has Japanese culture, and your roots, influenced your work?

I think so. Since I was little I always loved Japanese culture such as robots and anime, which inspire the kind of industrial forms of my jewelry. Besides that, I use Japanese traditional Urushi lacquer to give a matte texture to the metal parts of the pieces, it gives them a fresh and luxurious texture.

― Tell us about the special elements of this Dover Street Market Ginza event.

The latest collection is named “Mental Disorder” and its pretty colorful. For a contrast I made a black and white collection exclusively for Dover Street Market Ginza, because they are the theme colors of Rei Kawakubo and her brand. Last month I presented the 2014 S/S collection “Dead Princess” in Paris.

―What does the future hold for Heaven?

I’ll continue with making jewelry because that’s what I put so much emotion into, but I also want to start a fashion line.

The live video program we created for DressedUndressed’s Spring / Summer 2014 presentation proves that we can be fashion obsessed and total tech geeks at the same time. Digital, distorted and edgy, just the way we like it.

One of the hottest shows at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tokyo-the unisex brand has been featured on Italian Vogue’s site and represented Japan for the 2012 Woolmark prize. This time, Takeshi and Emiko’s signature minimalism featured pieces flecked with black and white graphics-an image of urban crowds (think Shibuya’s famous scramble crossing).

There were also steely grey tailored short suits, oversized trenches, and leather biker jackets that morphed into skirts or corsets on guys and girls.  And it all happened again for the finale in electric blue, like neon lighting up the city streets at night.

To emphasize the theme, the program created multiple versions of the models walking down the catwalk, with the audience also appearing on the fringe of the screen. The effect was like a crowd crashing into each other at rush hour.  It was all done live.  Don’t tell DressedUndressed, but we weren’t sure it was really going to work! Phew. Glad it did!

Spiky haired guy-liner Bajowoo from Korea is one of the hottest designer’s on the Tokyo street scene since the launch of his label “99%is-” in 2012.

After collaborating with big guns like Comme des Garcons, George Cox and Mackintosh-the spiked heavy trenches were exclusively sold at Dover Street Market in Ginza,-the brand debuted on the 2014 S/S Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tokyo runways.

Backstage before the show, the CUTEST boys with tattoos and punk-ish face piercings, that fit perfectly with the brand’s hard bondage, punk and minimalistic aesthetic, yawwwwned because it was so early, the Japanese hair meister Katsuya Kamo worked his magic, molding the models’ hair sleekly, tightly, then laminating with silver foil.

The black and white-centric collection was finished with shimmering silver accents as well.

The street influenced lineup, with a punky soundtrack, was just our beat.  Leather striped vests, oversized football t-shirts with embossed ”A“ motif and pleated skirts! YES-PLEASE!!
