How did you arrive at the decision to compose such an outfit?
I’m always upbeat, my mood that dictates—it all depends. My closet is set up in a highly organized fashion which enables me organize my outfits fairly quickly. I guess I have a visual gift for assembling things. When there’s rain, it gives me a pause.

Did you compose this outfit spontaneously or was it planned ahead of time?
Did on the spot

On a scale of 10, how pleased are you with this composition/outfit?
Very pleased!  8 1/2

What roles do color, the fit, and integrity of fabric play in this particular outfit?
Fit is key as well as the fabric. Beyond that, I wanted to go extremely colorful whereby I utilized unexpected colors and accessories that most won’t try or think would go well together.

Once a month!

There is perhaps a spiritual, emotional, intellectual or psychological aspect to what/how we dress. What is your personal experience in relation to this outfit? It reflects all the competing, crazy, yet colorful lifestyle that characterizes New York and Tokyo cities.
