Okay, despite what some may think, my trips to Japan are not simply about eating although that is always a highlight! Here I am with the amazing team from Kose making packaging decisions for the new line of Stephen Knoll New York styling products. I know I look asleep in the last shot but, trust me, I’m not :) I love these meetings. One always learns so much. The products can be spectacular but if the packaging isn’t perfect, it just doesn’t work!

Japanese gum drops; each one a work of art!
