BEAUTIFUL EMIRI BEFORE GOING TO MIAMI.I just spoke to Emiri, she is very happy in Miami and doing lots of press interviews. She had a dinner with the Japanese Consul yesterday and they really support her and said that she is so elegant and beautiful. A few more days to go, she feels strong and focused. Go Emiri chan! You are the best!

Emiri is made up by M.A.C Pro-Team Tokyo, and her hair styling by Sunao for Toni&Guy Harajuku.The kimono is made of 2 kinds of black leather from dear and cow skins. The details are printed in a very traditional and special way in pure gold on the leather. The bodysuit is supplied by LYCRA.

Also, Emiri together with Yoshiyuki, the designer and Hiroko Mima who has been training Emiri for Interview in Japanese. (Uzi Kakuda has been training her in English).

Emiri should be landing in Miami very soon. Big kisses Emiri chan and tons of thank you to my incredible team at the office… Yumiko Kawashima, James Watanabe, Sachi Maeda, Takako Nakanishi, Sachiko Hayashimoto, Kei chan, Yuka Nozone, and of course ……. “the coaches”: Hiroko, Uzi, Miguel and Guillaume because they have literally not slept since the past month, even tough they were all staying at my home from the beginning of the sadventure (Emiri preparation). It was a great fun all together, I miss it lots already.

THE OFFICIAL PICTURES

This is what I just sent to the Miss Universe Organization. All directors have been asked to send a picture for the program and the website this year.
Leslie Kee (lesliekeesuperstar.com) took these pictures and it took 7 designers to execute the costume, including the hair & make up artists. From an initial design idea, It was directed by Yoshiyuki Ogata, the designer of the red samurai costume, which won best national costume with Kurara in 2006.
150 media outlets attended today press conference in Tokyo today. I am now in the South of France with my sons also i wasn’t there.

It has surely created a huge PR buzz around the world which was the concept, also it worked as planned. The conservative and fashion-dinosaurs are critisizing her costume, meanwhile the fashionistas love it. I care only about the movers and shakers in the fashion  industry. My vibe is of Junya Watanabe, Yoji Yamamto, Issey Miyake, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen,  Cavalli and Dolce & Gabanna likes. They have created a new area in fashion and they mind works like mine.  I love fierce versus safe, this is who I am and will always be. I want to bring the image of beauty queens to a level wich matches mine and not stuggle to remain safe and politically correct. I believe that traditional beauty queens are irrelevant in today world, and this is what most of people think. Actually,  this is sadly the real reason why TV ratings around the world are dropping and why pageant houses have to close down their operations, instead they should reinvent themselves. In Japan, our media exposures have exploded since the past 5 years because we deliver a work that fits today entertainment expectation.

Emiri is now packing with her team and will fly tomorrow afternoon to Miami where she has a few TV and magazines interviews. She will also prepare slowly her skin for the heat and dramatic sun of the Bahamas and will not burn. She will stay in Miami for a week and will fly by private helicopter to Nassau with her entourage. She will have a dinner at the Japanese Embassy with the Consul while in Miami.

Special thanks to American Airlines for flying Emiri in first class to Miss Universe!

Love always and to all, ines
