[Oricon Poll] Top 5 artists who would do the best work as fashion designers

[Hanabi_surreal]

I think Ayu wears amazing clotes, but... I don't see her AT ALL as designer >.<

[Kikaru]

^I think she actually designed some of the corset tops she wore in 2005 or something (I read that somewhere in an interview). I definitely like her current fashion; big dresses aside, they're very classy and elegant.

Not a big fan of Koda Kumi's fashion. Really, I think kuu's kinda stuck in the bad part of eighties with the weird leg-warmers and the huge tops and colors with her fashion, and she has this habit of over-doing, like with accessories and nails (which is just too long IMO).

[AyUta]

Ayu has a great fasion sense so it doesn't surprise me that's she's #1.
But I don't really like Kuu's style all that much. Especially right now, I HATE the baggy clothing she's been recently wearing. But some of her clothes were very cute and or very beautiful.

[LacusClyne]

if anyone pay attention to those high school girls fashion magazines, kuu inspire them about ero-kawaii clothes. That should be the reason why she's no 2

I love all of these artists, so I feel like giving an opinion & I know you feel like reading it.

01 Ayumi Hamasaki - You are a fashion icon. You would have great success in lines for wealthy women who want to look amazing.
02 Koda Kumi - Your followers would definitely try and copy you, but only you can look as bad as you do sometimes, sry2say.
03 Kaela Kimura - 80s is the new 00s. 'Nuff said. Actually, no, wait. You're style isn't all 80s, so, I think low-maintenance girls and wannabe-androgynous boys would worship your store.
04 Tsuyoshi Domoto (Kinki Kids) - FRICKIN' YES. You dress in every style imaginable and there would be stuff in your collection for, like, every occasion.
05 aiko - I love aiko and her clothing sense, but I'm surprised that the people who answered the poll do too. :O Anyway, you'd really work the 7-sizes-too-big-but-still-fierce feeling in your collection. Mega-comfort along with mega-prettiness.

[TITANIC]

congratz to ayu

[MeruChan]

Ayu should get #1 totally!
Kuu's #2 position...hmmm
So happy that Kaela is there..and about aiko..hmm...she wear pants that doesn't fit her size all the time...

[che0173]

not surprising about ayu being top number 1...but err...koda being second...dats just weird =S
no offence to koda fans ^_^

[hiroshi_ben]

namie should be in top5 instead of aiko...and i think kuu's fashion is more "young" while ayu's more "elegant" and mature

[Cloudsoldier]

my top #5 in no order

Ayu, Kumi, Namie, BoA, Nakashima Mika

and Kuu designs Modern Yukata/Kimono too. They are great.

[Cyria]

I'm glad she got this #1, fashion is such a big part of her image.

[Jwiz]

^ yeah me too, but i afraid that ayu will design clothes that are too expensive.

Yay Ayu! She's such a fashion icon.

[MeruChan]

i think namie did inspire the mini skirt and boots look BUT her fashion style is boring...where as Ayu and the others has ever changing looks.though not as drastic as ayu..Namie IMO just stays the same...no matter where she go..what she does..she's in her bootie...

[M_aria]

I am surprised that hitomi is not on the top 5

[naxxo.licious™]

OBVIOUSLY ayu!!! I'm so glad that after 10 years she's still the fashion queen in Japan ^^! Congrats to ayu!

[mui-gei-tal]

aww...i was hoping to see mika~ she has an unique sense of style! but this list is not bad too =o

[se7entheaven]

ayu designs better clothes than kuu does

[alternarist]

lol.. wearing nice looking/trendy clothes doesnt mean they noe how to design them...
