Tokidoki By Simone Legno

I always inspired by Japanese culture. By the way have you heard about TOKIDOKI ? Tokidoki in Japan mean Sometimes. But Tokidoki which I want to write is about brand that inspired by Japanese lifestyle. The brilliant artist behind these brand is Simone Legno and his business partner Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold. Simon, an Italian designer from Rome, is the founder of  Tokidoki, a Japanese inspired lifestyle brand.

How it all begin? It begin in 2003, the co-founder of American cosmetics company Hard Candy, Pooneh Mohajer, and her husband Ivan Arnold, discovered Simone Legno's personal portfolio website, which had some popularity, being listed as one of the The Independent's top ten "websites of the week".^[1] They subsequently arranged to meet him, and Simone joined them in Los Angeles to form the tokidoki business venture. Tokidoki distributes its products to Nordstrom, Macys, Fred Segal, Karmaloop and approximately 1000 boutiques in more than 60 countries worldwide. tokidoki retail stores can be found in Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Milan, Italy.
