Behind the Scenes in DTLA Arts District Shoot

Get ready for a trip down memory lane with a modern twist! We recently returned to California from Japan and this time we linked up with our LA fam for a photoshoot that's all about celebrating the enduring influence of 1990s JDM fashion. 🇯🇵🇺🇸

We're talkin' sleek lines, bold graphics, and that iconic Japanese car culture vibe, all reimagined for the streets of Downtown Los Angeles' Arts District. Our muse for this project was the stunning Tiffany T, who slayed every look under the lens of the legendary photographer Ryan Chua.

Picture this: Tiffany, bathed in the golden California sun, rocks a fire look that screams 1990s Showa Era. Think baggy coveralls with classic automotive branding featuring cult-classic logos, juxtaposed with retro-modern sunglasses that block those nasty rays, evoking a vintage race car poster. But that's not all. We layer on the LA attitude with an iconic Los Angeles Background to finalize the whole vibe.

Every shot by the visionary photographer Ryan Chua is a testament to the perfect harmony between these two seemingly disparate styles. The clean lines of the Art District buildings and inconic 6th Street Bridge echo the structured silhouettes of the JDM pieces.

This photo shoot is a love letter to the timeless appeal of JDM style, with a fresh twist that celebrates the energy and vibrancy of the LA creative scene. Every shot is a testament to the power of collaboration, blending the best of both worlds: the rich heritage of JDM fashion and the innovative spirit of LA streetwear.
