tokidoki’s co-founder and Creative Director Simone Legno welcomed KarmaloopTV into the tokidoki studio for an exclusive glimpse into his methods and imagination.

Was I the only person that previously thought that Simone Legno was a woman, having never seen a picture of him and all the people I’ve met in the past called Simone being female?

Mimoco x Tokidoki Sweepstakes

I’ve just spotted that Josh Spear are running a mimobot competition too, but this one requires a little more creative thought. You need to go to this page and leave a comment discussing what the mimobot in the picture are doing, just write a little story. There was only been 10 comments when I wrote this post, so you’ve got a decent chance of winning, as long as you get your entry in before May 5th.

tokidoki were one of the brands/artists that I didn’t expect to see popping up across Hong Kong, but I spotted a lot of people carrying their ‘tokidoki for Lesportsac‘ bags. At first I just presumed that it was another case of HK copyright infringement, but when I saw the same bags on sale in the bowels of hell (also known as Paris Charles De Gaulle airport) I presumed they were the real deal.

tokidoki’s illustrative style is pretty much perfect for me, not so much as clothes (cos I’m a dude), but in terms of art I really like it. There’s a great balance to this hoody, it seems to be teetering on the edge of craziness without ever going too far; the colourway, fun but not too loud; the characters, keeping interest without dominating the piece.

I’ve mentioned Tokidoki a fair few times in the past, but its usually posted to the womens category, well, today its the guys that are getting in on the Tokidoki action. This hoodie is slightly less cutesy than the design that I usually associate with Tokidoki, but they seem to have retained the visual flair that so often draws me to this brand. It’s not exactly cheap, mind you.
