ModeSens: When did you first have an interest in fashion? What does fashion bring to your life?
@打野刀AdaJ: I started documenting my fits sometime last year, I mainly wanted to try different methods and different art forms to express my own style better, and try out more diverse styles to really inspire more creativity in my art. I feel like fashion is really a way to know and understand yourself better.
ModeSens: What’s your ideal life?
@打野刀AdaJ: A paint brush, a carafe of wine, and a lover to grow old with.
ModeSens: What pieces do you most enjoy buying?
@打野刀AdaJ: I’m all about hats, headwear of all kinds, and flats.
ModeSens: What is fashion to you?
@打野刀AdaJ: It's neither blind nor deliberate. I like seeing the same piece worn by different people, and evoking completely different emotions and vibes and styles. That is real fashion to me, self-expression.

ModeSens: What is your favorite brand? Designer?
@打野刀AdaJ: How to decide, there’s so many that I like. There’s a brand I recently found on ModeSens called ANTIK BATIK, I absolutely love their bags, very romantic design, and thankfully I got it during an awesome sale, so it was so worth it!
ModeSens: How would you describe your style?
@打野刀AdaJ: #freestyle and #都乱来的 for sure. I pretty much just go into my closet, fish around until I get a good vibe for an outfit, and that’s how I go out the door.
ModeSens: What channels do you frequent for fashion news?
@打野刀AdaJ: I am not the type to really eat into the newest fashion news, trends, I’m not looking out for any of that, for the most part I only know of newer trends after seeing a lot of people wearing it on street style blogs haha. For some of the brands I really like though, I’ll keep tabs on when they release new pieces and collections.

ModeSens: In a lot of your posts, you add in many paintings and drawings, are you professionally an illustrator?
@打野刀AdaJ: Painting is my hobby, not profession. Sometimes when I want to express more emotions or ideas, I draw small pictures or graffiti directly on the photos.
ModeSens: Your photos definitely have some really good vibes. Even in the photos without your face, it’s still instantly recognizable that it’s you. What kind of editing and ps work do you do on them?
@打野刀AdaJ: Honestly, to get the photos that I like, the key is to just keep shooting. My photographer, Liang33, and I don’t focus too much on post-production as much as we do on the actual shooting. We’ll just keep shooting until we see a shot that is perfect. The way he shoots me, I love every shot.
ModeSens: What was your first impression of ModeSens? What are some of the most important differences between ModeSens and other platforms that keep you coming back to this platform, as opposed to other platforms?
@打野刀AdaJ: ModeSens just really has it ll. It’s great for comparison shopping, price watching, any time new fashion related news comes up, I can see it almost immediately on ModeSens, and I can also share my own fits and self-expression. So in a lot of ways, it takes three or four platforms and combines them into one, very seamlessly.

EIGHT GUYS WHO MAKE US WANT TO UP OUR STYLE GAME A sartorial masterclass from the streets of Florence and Milan CLICK FOR MORE Words by Mr Mansel Fletcher The new year kicks off with Italy’s two big biannual fashion events, Pitti Uomoin Florence and Fashion Week in Milan. Media attention in Florence is almost entirely dedicated to the outfits worn by the attendees, while interest in Milan is spread more evenly between the clothes on the catwalks and the clothes on the street. All of this means that for the guys attending these events there’s an almost irresistible temptation to overthink their outfits, the result of which is that there’s great sport to be had reviewing the street-style shots.
