Underground Fest 2010
Designers of the creative lounge CHICAGO create outfits for Erina Mano’s U.S. movie premiere.
July 5, 2010
On July 1st Designers-in-Residence (Lidia Wachowska, Melissa Serpico, Anna Fong and Agga B.) attended the world premiere of Erina Mano’s latest movie: KAI-KI: TALES OF TERROR FROM TOKYO. The premiere took place at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. The creative lounge CHICAGO was one of the sponsors of Erina’s big debut in the U.S. The designers had created 4 different looks for the young starlet to wear during her stay in Los Angeles.
Club Nokia hosted two screenings of KAI-KI: TALES OF TERROR FROM TOKYO. A mini-concert followed each showing in which Erina Mano sang the film’s theme song “Returning Home” as well as “Sekai wa Summer Party,” a happy pop song that from her first tour album. Q&A session followed featuring Erina Mano, and representatives from the creative lounge CHICAGO.
Erina Mano, or Mano-chan as she is called by her fans, is a 19 year old Japanese singing phenomenon who is now considered J-Pop’s #1 idol and princess. Her first album “Friends” debuted in December 2009 and garnered her with praise and recognition at the 24th Annual Gold Disc Awards as one of Japan’s Top 5 Best New Artists! Since then, Mano-chan has released her second album, this past February, “Spring Storms” to rave revues and has appeared in numerous TV dramas including BTV’s hard-hitting “Death Game Park”, the TBS Online Drama “Mano Spy”, hit variety programs such as TV Asahi’s “2009 Christmas Campaign.”

Just got back from LA. It was a great trip. It was so much fun watching Erina Mano, a Japanese starlet of Hello Project fame, on the stage wearing one of my dresses. She initially wore it to a press conference in Tokyo while announcing the world premiere of her latest movie: KAI-KI: TALES OF TERROR FROM TOKYO. Then she decided to wear it on stage at Club Nokia while performing 2 songs from her latest album. The dress fit her perfectly and it moved nicely on stage. I couldn’t ask for a better presentation.
