Sunshine bouncing off concrete

My style is definitely an influence of urban Japan streetwear. It’s chunky boots, loose fitting t-shirts, sweats and hoodies. I love blazers and caps and untailored menswear. But at the same time, give me a cargo skirt and I will flip into something masculine yet soft.

I spend a lot of time outside dancing and connecting to things in the urban environment through motion. I can dance with a light pole or do a flip against a concrete block. When people see me, they might see an androgynous style. But there’s lots of feminine energy there as well. My nails are done, my hair is slicked back, and my makeup is thought out. Many see flowing movements and a cool attitude, but my smile is always just underneath the hard exterior.

Curated by me | Kyoka

Japanese dancer, Kyoka, uses her street style as the basis for her IKEA Curated by me collection. Bright, energetic colours that add spirit to a space are the joyful inspo for this style board. They also make for great inspiration for a first place of your own. We call her curation Sunshine dancing on concrete.

My dance style comes from my personality. I want to see everybody’s smile, and I love the sun. I’m a very chill person. I dance from my soul. Because it is ME.
