Alison Jessica Jones (known professionally as Kawaiiconic or Kawaiiconic Ali) is an alternative fashion influencer, musician, and actress. She is known for her monochromatic fashion sense and influence in the Japanese fashion community. She gained recognition after appearing on Truly's online fashion documentary series, Hooked on the Look.[1]

Early Life and Career

[edit]

Born and raised in Kenai, Alaska, Alison developed a passion for music and art from a young age. She grew up in a creative family alongside her twin sister, IgikoPop, and the duo often performed for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, fostering a love for performing.[2]

Alison and her sister gained recognition as runners-up in a songwriting contest held by the Grammy Awards for young songwriters.[3] This recognition inspired Alison to pursue songwriting.

After graduating from high school, Alison enrolled at the University of Idaho, initially pursuing a degree in music before switching to art with a focus on digital media. During her college years, Alison contributed vocals to various online projects, including a promotional video for the unreleased Yandere Simulator.[4]

Alison began posting photos of her Harajuku-inspired monochromatic fashion on Instagram, which gained her a small but dedicated online following. She adopted the stage name Kawaiiconic.[5] As her Instagram popularity grew, she was featured on Truly's show Hooked on the Look, where she became known as the "Pink Icon."[1][6][7]

In 2021, Kawaiiconic appeared with her twin sister, IgikoPop, on Truly's Transformed in the episode titled "From Kawaii to Kardashian."[8] This episode aired shortly before Kawaiiconic moved to Japan.

Kawaiiconic moved to Japan in April 2021 and is currently based in Tokyo, Japan.

In October 2021, she was featured in The COMM in an article titled "Every Day is a Pink Day for Pink Princess Alison Jones," which highlighted her monochromatic pink aesthetic and influence in Japanese alternative fashion.[12]
