Fangophilia - Japanese Custom-Molded Body Jewelry - Behind the Scenes

Behind-the-scenes at the shooting of Fangophilia's first lookbook, featuring an interview with brand founder Taro Hanabusa! Mixing influences from body modification culture and self-taught silversmithing, the founder of Japanese accessory brand Fangophilia describes his mission as "creating body extension accessories through careful molding to the individual parts of the human body". Taro Hanabusa is a licensed dentist working in Tokyo. The Fangophilia project began when Hanabusa decided to put his dental skills to work creating custom teeth accessories - initially, silver fangs. Things quickly expanded as he explored the possibilities of jewelry custom molded to different parts of the human body. In 2012, Fangophilia was "officially" launched. Since then, the brand has caught on in Tokyo's fashion scene, carried by arguably the hippest and most influential streetwear boutique in all of Asia, Dog Harajuku (where Lady Gaga, 2NE1, and many other celebrities look for creative inspiration). In October of 2013, Fangophilia held its first overseas exhibition in Taiwan. In this video, we sat down and talked to the brand's creator and went behind-the-scenes at the shooting of Fangophilia's first visual campaign.
