Q-Pot dishes out more sweet stuff

Q-Pot, purveyors of ultra cute and occasionally disconcertingly realistic sweet-themed accessories, is marking its 15th anniversary with its very first fashion line: Q-Pot Dress. Tadaaki Wakamatsu, the designer of the jewelry line, is himself taking on the challenge by channeling his approach to accessories ¡ª which has seen him transform everything from wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) to British afternoon-tea motifs ¡ª into clothing.

In time for start of spring, the theme is strawberries and a play on the Japanese word for the fruit, ¡±ichigo,¡± which phonetically sounds like the numbers one (ichi) and five (go) ¡ª a perfect match for the 15th anniversary.
