Meet Dice-K (@Dice_kkkk), a young Japanese fashion designer whose brand @GlamHate celebrates vampires, glam – and hate! Please note: There are 7 videos in this interview, check them all! “Our Streets, My Style” is our new original show taking you up close and personal with Japanese personalities you see in our street snaps.
We first met Dice-K at a Lady Gaga concert in Tokyo nearly five years ago. Since then, they enrolled in – and recently graduated from – one of Japan’s most prestigious universities, launched their own fashion brand, and evolved in so many ways (both aesthetic and personal). Over the years, we’ve been ever impressed not only by Dice-K’s style, but also their thoughtful consideration of fashion, life, and the intersection of the two. When we sat down with Dice-K on the street in Harajuku this week, they were very open about their personal history and their current feelings on fashion and life.
Dice-K is about to release the second collection of their own brand GlamHate. The new GlamHate collection is called “VAMPYRE”, but it’s not meant in the old fashioned way. Dice-K explains (in the video) that the vampire concept is related to the way fashion trends spread through social media. Popular influencers are vampires who infect others on social media with their taste, and those newly created vampires spread the trends to others. The number of vampires infected by these fashion trends grow exponentially and uncontrollably around the globe.
If you are in Japan, Dice-K would love to meet you in person at GlamHate’s “VAMPYRE” collection exhibition from April 19-22, 2018 at ShibuyaRoom. See the details of the exhibition and map at the official @GlamHate Instagram.
