Admit it, cute is uplift. There is a viable reason why Tokidoki, the Japanese pop brand, is styled by Simone Legno as “the hope, the hidden energy everyone has inside that gives us the strength to face a new day and dream something positive.”

The popular brand is now carried by SM Department Store, at the Fashion Forum section, where fans can snap up tees and lightweight hoodies in whimsical prints.
