This Generation x Mei Kawajiri – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

„Wow“ seems to be the word uttered when you show someone Mei Kawajiri’s nail designs. Since moving to stateside from Harajuku ten years ago, the nail artist and her Instagram page, aptly named @nailsbymei, have taken over Manhattan and the fashion world by storm. But like many other New York success stories, what might seem like an overnight sensation was the result of years of enduring hard work. Mei confessed that during fashion weeks, all-nighters are a casual occurrence: she and her assistants would be working on over 1,000 nail designs for various shows.

On our visit to her Manhattan studio, the Kyoto-born artist shared with us how to make her signature 3-D nail art. Head this this-generation.com for the full interview.
