Tastemakers, Yukimi Nagano

 By Jacqueline Davis Moranti

A warm October night, in 2010, my BF and I were making our way to the Susquehanna Center's seats, although I don't care much for sitting, at a concert. The opening act, N.E.R.D was currently on stage, their music is relatively chill, making the listener sway left and right, enjoying the music. A few songs later and the main show came to the stage, Gorillaz! I flippin' love their music ever since I was the ripe old age of 12. If you've ever heard of their music then you know, you have to swing your arms, recant the lyrics at the top of your lungs and jump up like a manic (you probably don't want to go to a show with me!). Several songs into the Gorillaz set list, this gorgeous woman stepped onto the stage wearing the most amazing sequin jacket! I had heard the song that was playing before the performance, via the album, Plastic Beach, but I never really looked into who "Little Dragon" was until that day!

The vocalist of Little Dragon, Yukimi Nagano, is a free spirited beauty. She's all about wearing whatever she wants no matter how much it might make others cringe. Print on print on print! There's nothing wrong with standing out in a sea of conformity. I love her carelessness for fashion rules because we all know that those rules are meant to be broken! The same can be said about her music, it's unclassifiable, which is why she is absolutely one of my fashion idols! In many of her performances, she can be spotted wearing anything from, an oversized tee with abstract printed leggings, printed body con dress with an artfully, opposite printed legging or even an amazing cape.

Dear readers, what do you think of her style? Have you heard of Little Dragon?
