DAN & JOE (TOKYO DANDY)
When English fashion photographer Dan Bailey, whose dry wit makes him a good candidate for a spot in the comedy series “Little Britain,” hooked up with Japanese style hound Joe in May 2008, they created the website TOKYO DANDY. Based on Dan’s amazing photo collages that document the cooler side of the Tokyo club scene and Joe’s acerbic commentary on global fashion happenings, the site soon won a fanatical following. Last month, the pair was cited by WWD Japan as the most influential fashion bloggers in Japan.

PELI
Growing up, PELI was exposed to a lot of '80s sounds thanks to her music-loving music parents. She later discovered hip-hop and then reggae, ska, punk, rock ’n’ roll, swing and various other genres. Among these, she developed a particular affinity for rockabilly and early punk. Sometimes she adds electro to her playlist in order to match the vibe of a party, but her style is heavily influenced by the mashup style popularized by 2 Many DJs, legendary rock DJ event LONDON NITE and the '80s sounds loved by her parents. Besides her work as a DJ, PELI also works as a stylist, mostly for fashion magazines, as well as on music videos for music acts. Her ability to link fashion and music have made her Tokyo’s foremost fashionista DJ.
