According to Style.com (where the video made its debut), "the Japanese It girl is not only renowned for her unmatched street style but also for her ability to get the party started, whether it’s at an M.I.A. concert or a private event."
The DJ draws inspiration and a lot of her style from Tokyo, the city she was born in, and tells the New York Times, "In Tokyo people love colorful clothes and love to dye their hair as in really, really bright color, like blue or something. And people around me, they’ve got amazing style, too." Not only has the fashionista made a name for herself in the music world, but according to the NY Times, she also creates, "nail rings that she designs for her label, Giza." Amaze.
