What have you been wearing on stage? Anything new you particularly like?
Ninajirachi (@ninajirachi)
Comfort is my highest priority on stage because it allows me to give my best performance, so what I wear is usually an exaggerated version of what I wear everyday.
I love wearing achromatic, cool and neutral coloured clothes because they make my red hair stand out. Last time I was in NYC I thrifted a UK hockey jersey and it's been a staple lately.

Do you collaborate with anyone? A stylist? A friend?
ninajirachi
In Australia I work with a few very talented stylist friends, mostly Tianyu Zhang, Elle Hioe and Kurt Johnson. In America I've been working with the amazing Eloise Moulton who I adore.

Do you make any special pieces?
ninajirachi
Not lately, but I did when I was in high school! It's something I'd love to make time for again. The closest I've come has been commissioning a few special pieces from friends and local designers.

Where do you find stage clothes? Any fav shops?
ninajirachi
In Australia I love thrifting at SWOP and Reunion, sometimes I use Depop too. I've also worked with Error404 Store in Melbourne a few times for loans and styling, they stock pieces by really incredible Australian designers and I've shopped there so many times.

Where does your sense of style come from? Any special sources of inspiration?
ninajirachi
In general I'm inspired by fantasy, magic, fiction, science-fiction, mech, mahou shoujo, nature, technology, mythology and folklore, and all of those things seep a little (or a lot) into the music I make and how I present myself physically. I love to play dress up and look like a character, like cosplay or larping, but dialled wayyyyyyyy back due to the comfort factor haha.
