Originally drawn to her interestingly designed hairpieces, Nagi Noda proves to be an extremely accomplished and designer hailing from the left-field. In addition to manicuring obscure hair designs, Nagi Noda has directed videos for the Scissor Sisters and has done work for Laforet and Nike and is busy working on her own fashion label Broken Label with Mark Ryden. Her video called ‘Ex Fat’, which features her and several poodles doing an aerobics workout in a similar style to Aerobics Oz Style, launched her into designer fame. Born in Tokyo in 1973, Nago Noda has affirmed herself as one of Japan’s most prominent young designers. With the help of her lateral thinking prowess she runs a company Uchu Country Limited, which increasingly attracts global attention from potential clients and avid fans. She is currently working on a video clip for artist Tiga. Bizarre and brilliant at the same time, Nagi Noga would rate highly when responding to a favourite hypothetical question of mine – “If you had to choose three people to invite to a dinner party, dead or alive, who would you choose?”
