Japan Fashion Week final report
Tokyo's Japan Fashion Week wrapped up on Saturday after six days of incredible and sometimes inscrutable creations.
Menswear fared well this season, with the keyword being 'leggy.' Designer ato showed super skinny jeans and leather pants made of intricate pieces, while GalaabenD used leggings with a paint-like print. Nozomi Ishiguro just got rid of the pants altogether, settling on skirts for his army of scruffy pretty boys.
For womenswear, the best collection of this season came from matohu, with its swirly and curvy pieces arriving as a modern interpretation of the 400-year-old oribe pottery -- itself considered pretty avant-garde back in the day. Mikio Sakabe turned an about-face this season with his ode to '90s death rock, while Dress Camp was all uptown with cocktail dresses -- and a gem chainmail dress with leather corset fashioned to look like red lips.
writtenafterwards closed out the week with 'A fashion show for the gods,' or balls of twisted fabric on naked models that the audience on the floor might have called 'A show of wardrobe malfunctions.'
