Ep 31: justsaying with Simone Legno – The Rise of Tokidoki

tokidoki, which translates to “sometimes” in Japanese, is one of the most iconic lifestyle brands today – founded by Italian artist Simone Legno and his partners, Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold.

We catch up with Simone Legno, tokidoki’s creative director, in Singapore and talk about the brand’s rise, and how it has become the lifestyle icon it is today.

Simone has become a sought-after speaker around the world at museums, universities and conferences, from MOCA to the Adobe MAX conference, Flash Film Festival, Art Center College of Design, Apple store in Osaka, Istituto Europeo di Design, STGCC, and Grafika Manila.

Since debuting in 2005, tokidoki has amassed a cult-like following for its larger-than-life characters and emerged as a sought-after global lifestyle brand. tokidoki offers an extensive range of products, including apparel, handbags, cosmetics, accessories, toys and more.

tokidoki has collaborated with many brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, Guggenheim Museum, Sephora, LeSportsac, Onitsuka Tiger, Marvel, New Era, Hello Kitty, Fujitsu, Levi’s, Xbox, T-mobile, Medicom Toy, MLB, Barbie, and Canon.
